Betty’s 1974 album "Danger High Voltage" is considered to be amongst her best. It contains her two UK Top 30 chart hits the Grammy winning Disco hit "Where Is The Love" and "Shoorah! Shoorah!" which featured in the film "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". It also includes the original version of the often sampled "Tonight's The Night" one of her best known tracks, a mid tempo Rare Groove classic, which was apparently inspired by her first sexual experiences. She would re-record the track on the "Betty Wright Live" album, which featured her now famous "Rap". Betty’s diverse range of material is illustrated by the great beat ballad "That's When I’ll Stop Loving You" and the more typically Brassy TK "Don't Thank Me Baby, Thank Yourself". This CD version of the album is enhanced by the inclusion of five non album 45 sides.

Genre: R'n'B, Soul | Label: Motown

Brenda Holloway is one of the unsung heroes of the Motown story. She had a soulful, gritty voice; stunning good looks; great songs (some of which she wrote herself); but no hits. Her signature song was her drop-dead ballad "Every Little Bit Hurts," and she also wrote and recorded the original of "You Made Me So Very Happy," later a hit for Blood, Sweat & Tears. Both of those songs are on this collection, as well as nine other solid cuts by Holloway, making this a good collection for Motown and soul fans who want to check out this fine singer.
