Brenda Holloway's timeless classic hit of melancholy love.. + Informações

Brenda Holloway was the voice that caused every true afficionado of Motown to melt when they heard her. She epitomised that cool soulfulness that lacked the commerical appeal of a Diana Ross, but stood head and shoulders above the rest for anyone who discovered her true artistry. Amazingly, forty three years after she first hit with "Every Little Bit Hurts", she still looks and sounds as wonderful as ever. The late great Barry White described her as the greatest female soul singer who ever lived, and many agree with him. I started working with Brenda quite early on with Motorcity, back in 1987. I was deperate to find her, and Mary Wilson, of The Supremes, gave me her phone number, so I flew her straight over to England to record "Give Me A Little Inspiration", and also a duet with Jimmy Ruffin called "On The Rebound". We then continued and finished our first album together in Los Angeles in 1990, "All It Takes" which was released when Motorcity had a deal with Charly Records. Then, in the mid 1990s, Brenda was over in England with Kim Weston, doing a series of Northern Soul gigs, so she came to stay with me, and we cut thirty more songs, including this song, "Reconsider", a remake of a Motown track which had remiained unissued for thirty years. At first, after various bootleg acetates had done the rounds, it was indeed called "Reconsider", then it was called "Breaking This Poor Heart Of Mine" and now more recently, once it finally officially got released on a Motown .... + Informações

Brenda Holloway (born June 21, 1946 in Atascadero, California, United States) is an American singer and songwriter, a recording artist for the Motown label during the 1960s. Her best-known recordings are the soul hits, "Every Little Bit Hurts" and "You've Made Me So Very Happy." The latter was later widely popularized when it became a Top Ten hit for Blood, Sweat & Tears. Born in Atascadero, California, the eldest of three children to Wade and Johnnie Mae (Fossett) Holloway. In 1948, she and her infant brother, Wade, Jr., moved with their parents to the Watts section of Los Angeles where Brenda took up violin and sang in her church choir. Her sister, Patrice, was born there three years later. At 14, she and sister Patrice began working on demonstration records and singing backup for Los Angeles-based R&B acts. In 1962, Holloway made her recording debut with the single, "Hey Fool". Two years later, she recorded the song that she would later be known for in the coming decades, "Every Little Bit Hurts". After being overheard singing Mary Wells' "My Guy", Motown CEO Berry Gordy signed her to the label's Tamla imprint. For her first single, she was required to re-record "Every Little Bit Hurts," much to the budding singer-songwriter's chagrin. Released in May 1964, "Every Little Bit Hurts" became a hit for Holloway, reaching #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helping to win the singer a concert spot on Dick Clark's "Caravan of Stars" tour. Holloway followed "Every Little Bit .... + Informações

Though many in general may not be as familiar with Brenda Holloway, it does seem that the numbers are going up thanks to avenues like You Tube. If this is your first time hearing her, you'll more than likely echo what everyone else wonders: How is it that Motown never promoted this amazingly stunning and talented woman? The UK however has taken to her in a way that she deserved all along. (songs you may know include "every little bit hurts" "when i'm gone" and "you've made me so very happy- the original recording, which she and her sister patrice wrote and Blood, Sweat and Tears later covered) In this previously unreleased saga, written and produced by Smokey Robinson, lovely Brenda Holloway finds herself enduring a love interest who seems to not care one way or the other for how he treats her. As they say, "you never miss your water til the well runs dry" and the well is about to run dry for Brenda's errant lover for there is another who loves Brenda. Notice that the instrumentation is sparse, matching the mood of the song. In this case, the "less-is-more" approach works very well to allow us to really hear the immaculate vocals of Brenda and the Andantes. A story well-told from beginning to end, another chapter in the story of Brenda Holloway. PS. Notice how the song ends the way it begins- only whereas at the outset, the Andantes are chanting how Johnny's coming, at the end, Johnny is out of the picture completely. It's beautiful to hear how Brenda holds that last note .... + Informações
