"Loleatta's first two albums together on one CD, with four bonus tracks unissued at the time. Loleatta Holloway was a tremendous soul singer who came naturally to the genre following her years with the famed gospel group the Caravans in her home city of Chicago. She was persuaded to move into R&B by local jazz guitarist, songwriter and producer Floyd Smith, whom she would go on to marry. Her first two 45s were cut in Chicago, but it was her signing to Michael Thevis' newly formed Aware label of Atlanta, Georgia which started her career in earnest".

"Forty-five years later, and Loleatta Holloway's music is more popular than ever. Although she's better known as a disco diva the two albums she recorded for Aware are belatedly receiving the recognition they deserves and this includes Loleatta Holloway's Southern Soul classics Loleatta and her sophomore album Cry To Me".

"This is powerful, expressive stuff from start to finish ... Loleatta and Cry To Me though overshadowed by her later archievements, are genuine soul classics and ripe for rediscovery".
