Loleatta Holloway (born November 5, 1946, Chicago, Illinois) is an American singer, mainly known for disco songs such as "Dreamin'" and "Love Sensation" (both of which have been greatly sampled). She began gospel singing with her mother in the Holloway Community Singers and she has also recorded with the Queen of Gospel Albertina Walker in The Caravans gospel group. Holloway was also a cast member of the Chicago troupe of Don't Bother Me; I Can't Cope. Around this time, she met her future producer, manager, and husband Floyd Smith and recorded "Rainbow '71" in 1971, a Curtis Mayfield song Gene Chandler had recorded in 1963. "It was initially released on the tiny Apache label, but shortly thereafter got picked up for national distribution by Galaxy Records"[1].
