From Spinner:
Soul and disco singer Loleatta Holloway has died at the age of 64.
The singer passed away on Monday evening, March 21, after a brief illness, her manager Ron Richardson announced (via Spinning Soul).
Holloway’s biggest hit ‘Love Sensation’ came in 1980 and proved a major inspiration to a variety of dance acts that followed. Her vocal from the track was most notably sampled on Black Box’s 1989 UK No. 1 ‘Ride on Time’, although at the time the Italian house trio employed a French model to mime along to Holloway’s powerful vocal.
