Her first single for the label – “Every Little Bit Hurts” – was a huge hit reaching #13 on the Hot 100. However, her recording career for Motown was modest for such talent and her final single came in 1967, the Top 40 hit “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” which she co-wrote with her younger sister Patrice Holloway (see SEV005). The song would later reach #2 when it was covered by Blood Sweat \u0026amp; Tears. In more recent times many of Brenda’s previously unreleased Motown recordings have come to light and have proved to be amongst the finest of the labels recorded output. Here we present two stunning performances, “My Baby Moves Me” penned by Smokey Robinson and the infectious “Spellbound” written Billy Page and recorded circa 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outta Sight","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50414658257227,"sku":"1122047","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/62419b71-aaa5-4a1f-a071-fc0330f5b888_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726684456"},{"product_id":"spellbound-rare-and-unreleased-motown-gems","title":"Spellbound - Rare and Unreleased Motown Gems","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoulMusic Records is very proud to present a sumptuous 33-track 2-CD set of classic recordings by the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eBrenda Holloway\u003c\/strong\u003e drawn from Motown’s vaults and recorded between 1963-66. \u003cem\u003eSpellbound\u003c\/em\u003e has been compiled and produced by longtime Motown expert Paul Nixon, responsible for the successful \u003cem\u003eCellarful Of Motown\u003c\/em\u003e series, who has carefully selected the tracks on this superb compilation by one of Motown’s most soulful singers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded here are nine previously unreleased tracks along with rare cuts that have only been available digitally.
