Guest Paul Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Heard from a friend that Ms Holloway has suffered a heart attack and is in a critical condition Cheers Paul Sad news, let's hope she makes it.
Soulman Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Wishes to Loleatta, Black Box owe her loads for the "Love Sensation" sample. What a voice. Hang on in there Lol.
Soulman Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 That's Lol as in Loleatta not LOL which is so inappropriate... just thought I'd make that clear.
Geeselad Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 sad news indeed, probably one of the most sampled artists ever, acca's of her salsoul stuff were virtually the bedrock of early house music.
Suinoz Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Very sad news indeed, let's all hope she pulls through. Her ' Mother of Shame ' 45 still sounds the bizz.
Guest Paul Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Sad to hear the news that Loleatta Holloway died last night, age 64.
Stillsoulin Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Sad to hear this, one of my favorite vocalists, rip. Rob h.

manus Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 That's really sad news - what a wonderful voice - up there with the greats I think. Manus
Harrogatesoul Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Really sad to hear this. Her Aware material was some of the first southern soul that turned me over to 'that' side of soul music. RIP. Edited March 22, 2011 by harrogatesoul
Geeselad Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Gutted, she, and Rochelle were THE voice of Salsoul!

Guest Soulpope Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Would it be possible to feature Lolleata`s longer version of "This man`s arms" (featured on the 100 Club Anniversary single 6T11 B) via Refosoul ?? Thanks in advance EC
Neil Rushton Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Very sad news. She had one of the great voices, revered by Soul., Disco and House fans alike. Love her version of "All About The Papers'" . When I was running Network she rang up to complain that she had been sampled on a record we had released, I explained it was licenced from Salsoul and all legit ,but she was having none of it, and I got the full effect of THAT VOICE as really shouted. If I had taped her rant it would have been one of the great acapellas! She checked everything out with Salsoul and was fine afterwards. Will play "Dreamin;" at Radcliffe tomorrow night dedicated to her. All The Best, Neil. Edited March 25, 2011 by NeilRushton1
Guest MickMc Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Condolences to her family. Edited March 28, 2011 by MickMc
Geoff Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I've only just read the sad news of Loleatta's death. She was a great singer and made so many good records. Playing her version of Casanova, so sad. RIP Loleatta.
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Not been here in a while but what sad news for a great soul artist especially in the late 70's and 80's. Black Box did a great job with her sample on there track
