Should the music industry ever officially establish a Diva Hall of Fame, there's no questions that Motown chanteuse Brenda Holloway would be a charter member. Brenda has won numerous awards in her career including the 1999 Rhythm & blues Foundation's Pioneer Award.
The California native was Motown's first Los Angeles-based artist and is an accomplished songwriter and classically trained violinist. The dulcet-toned singer pairs the "cry in her voice" with subtle shadings of underlying power, giving her songs a quiet force that still works today. This quality is especially evident on her signature hits, the melancholy ballad "Every Little Bit Hurts' and the sassy, pre-"I Will Survive" anthem "When I'm Gone"
The Very Best of Brenda Holloway dramatically underscores Holloway's standing as one of Motown's and music history's - distinguished female artists.
Brenda has toured with The Beatles at their request and also worked with Berry Gordy, Frank Wilson, Walter and Wallace Scott of The Whispers, The Intruders, Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, Smokey Robinson, The Marvelettes, The Contours, Kim Weston and William "Mickey" Stevenson.
Recently, Brenda has been seen on "My Music-The Motown 60's for Public Broadcast Stations (PBS Television) and her music featured throughout the show "American Dreams" on NBC.
Today, Holloway continues to tour with a vengeance, having made recent appearances across the UK, Europe and throughout the West Cost.
