Brenda Holloway (born June 21, 1946, Atascadero, California, United States) is an African-American singer and songwriter, best known as a recording artist for the Motown Records label during the 1960s. Her most well-known recordings are the soul hits, «Every Little Bit Hurts» and «You’ve Made Me So Very Happy.» The latter was later widely popularized when it became a Top Ten hit for the band, Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Early life and career
Born in Atascadero, California, the eldest of three children to Wade and Johnnie Mae (Fossett) Holloway.[1] In 1948, she and her infant brother, Wade, Jr., moved with their parents to the Watts section of Los Angeles where Brenda took up violin and sung in her church choir. Her sister, Patrice was born there three years later. At 14, she and sister Patrice began working on demonstration records and singing backup for Los Angeles based R&B acts. In 1962, Holloway made her recording debut with the single, «Hey Fool». Two years later, she recorded the song that she would later be known for in the coming decades, «Every Little Bit Hurts».
The Motown years
After being overheard singing Mary Wells’ «My Guy», Motown CEO Berry Gordy signed her to the label’s Tamla imprint. For her first single, she was required to re-record «Every Little Bit Hurts» much to the budding singer-songwriter’s chagrin. Released in May 1964, «Every Little Bit Hurts» became a hit for Holloway reaching number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100 helping to win the singer a concert spot on Dick Clark’s Caravan of Stars tour.
