VOICES IN THE SKY.....Brenda Holloway
This musically gifted ballad singer, songwriter and violinist from Los Angeles was considered to be the female face of Motown when Mary Wells left the label in 1964. Holloway’s stay instead mixed equal elements of success and frustration into a brief Motown career, which included hits produced both in her hometown and in Detroit. Signed by Berry Gordy as a teenager, Holloway grew up fast at Hitsville, but with so many of her tracks left on the shelf, she departed after one fine album and a flurry of excellent singles that also made her a cult figure on the U.K.’s discerning Mod and Northern Soul circuits.
As a songwriter Holloway is best known for “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy,” a worldwide hit for Blood, Sweat & Tears that she originated at Motown in 1967.
