| - | In the early [[1980s]], she had another dance hit with "[[Crash Goes Love]]" (#5 on the [[Hot Dance Club play chart]], #86 on the US R&B Chart) before her vocals from "[[Love Sensation]]" were used in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] number one hit, "[[Ride On Time]]" by [[Black Box (band)|Black Box]]. Holloway, however, was uncredited for her powerful vocals, and both Holloway and her attorneys successfully launched a press-attack, and, subsequently, sued Black Box, leading to an undisclosed court settlement in Holloway's favor. In 1992 she also had a hit with dance band [[Cappella]]. There she appeared as Cappella featuring Lolleatta Holloway, of which the single called "[[Take Me Away]]" (UK #25). Holloway's fortunes dramatically improved, however, when she had her first US number-one hit when [[Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch]] featured her vocals in the chart topping song [[Good Vibrations (Marky Mark song)|Good Vibrations]] (1991). Holloway also performed with Marky Marky and the Funky Bunch to promote to single, and she received full vocal credit and a share of the royalties. Despite the [[Black Box (band)|Black Box]] [[copyright]] infringements, both "Ride On Time" and "Good Vibrations" helped elevate Holloway to legendary status in the [[dance music]] [[community]]. | + | '''Like a Prayer''' may refer to: |
