The Brenda Holloway Discography -
Sheer Gladness
Not all the songs in the Brenda Holloway discography convey positive emotions. Vocals as raw and enunciation as clear as hers make the fragile, tattered parts of her soul as transparent as the happy, shiny parts.
Nonetheless, she loved singing enough to return to it decades after her retirement from music at 22. The break had let her find more peace in familial and spiritual matters, but she was reportedly elated to return to recording. Patient fans must have been just as pleased to anticipate new
Brenda Holloway albums
again. :)
Since there's little early output, this Brenda Holloway discography reflects the soul artist's Motown, gospel, and urban contemporary efforts into the new millennium. Her Motown Anthology brings us back to her beguiling beginnings.
