For those who don't know, hers was the voice that was sampled for the 'Ride on Time' song from Black Box.

Brilliant voice. RIP.

The song 'Ride on Time' became controversial after it emerged the Italian dance act had used Holloway's performance without crediting her, and she went on to successfully sue the band.

Her vocals were lip-synched by model Catherine Quinol, who fronted Black Box during their chart success.

"She was a very strong, powerful woman, but she was sweet at the same time," Mr Richardson told BBC 6 Music.

"She was also very fragile, which a lot of people didn't know."

Singer Carol Williams, who was on the SalSoul Records label with Holloway, said that she "put her right up at the top as one of the greatest voices in the world".

"When she recorded in the studio, she would have to stand so far back from the mic. Most singers, you know, go right up to the mic and almost have their lips on it. Loleatta could stand feet away."

Loleatta sued them, quite rightly, for a substantial sum which took a while to settle and it's a pity she didn't live longer to enjoy life and her family.

She will probably be belting a song out in heaven now.

Glad you finally got round to giving the Mag. Fields a listen. What are your thoughts so far?

At first I was a bit disappointed and wondered if I would ever bother to even play through first disc, let alone the whole thing. But now I'm halfway through the second disc and becoming more and more intrigued. Brilliant but weird pop music!

Thanks

(Still prefer Peter Gabriel's version of The Book of Love though :icon_wink)

I don't think there's anyone who can write a catchy melody that stays in your head the way Merritt can. He's a great lyricist too.

Have not heard Peter Gabriel's version of the Book of Love, though I know he is a big Mag. Fields fan.
