Loleatta Holloway (born in Chicago, 1946) was an American R&B/Disco singer known for her massive hit songs such as 'Hit and Run', 'Love Sensation' and 'Relight My Fire', all of which have been sampled extensively worldwide. 'Cry to Me' was produced by Floyd Smith and features tracks penned by some of the most talented songwriters of the time... Sam Dees (Gladys Knight, Bo Diddley, Aretha Franklin) wrote five of the tracks on the album and his arrangements provide the perfect backdrop for Loleatta's emotive, dramatic and powerful vocals. Curtis Mayfield also contributes the magnificent 'Just Be True' track and Jo Armstead (Ray Charles, Syl Johnson, Tina Turner) wrote the beautiful 'Casanova'. Originally released in 1975, Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first official reissue of Loleatta's classic 'Cry to Me' album. Remastered from the original master tapes by Ginn Music Group-Aware Records and featuring the original album cover designed by Ruby Mazur (Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, John Lee Hooker).
This reissue comes as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition (strictly limited to 500 copies) with obi strip... released exclusively for Record Store Day 2020.
