There'll Come a Time: SoulMusic, The Second Disc Team for Loleatta Holloway Box Set "We're Getting Stronger"
Stardom had been predicted for Loleatta Holloway from the time she'd emerged as a solo artist with her 1971 recording of Curtis Mayfield's "Rainbow."

With two albums under her belt and a Top 10 R&B hit with "Cry to Me" in 1975, she was signed to Salsoul Records by

That's The Word: SoulMusic Teams with TSD for Taana Gardner's "When You Touch Me: The West End Recordings"

By September 22, there were no disco songs at
