R.I.P. Loleatta Holloway



This week saw the unfortunate loss of one of the greatest artists of the Disco era, Loleatta Holloway. Her influence on dance music is huge, her work sampled countless times - most notably Love Sensation for Black Box's 1989 hit Ride On Time.

Gilles Peterson put together a podcast featuring some of Loleatta's best-known tracks, and tributes from Norman Jay MBE and Louie Vega of Masters At Work. As people that were lucky enough to work with Loleatta Holloway, they offer an insight into the projects she was involved with and her immense talents.
