Jennifer Holliday
After more than two decades since she starred in the hit Broadway musical “Dreamgirls,” JENNIFER HOLLIDAY, whose heart wrenching rendition of the show stopping torch-song ballad, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” is a woman with a voice that has evolved into what is arguably one of the greatest female voices of the rhythm and blues of the 20th century. She is a vocal powerhouse whose hardy, passionate, throaty and soulful voice touches hearts and leaves her audience flooded with emotions running deep and their spirits soaring high.
Holliday, a two-time Grammy Award winner, has recorded five chart-making CD’s for Arista, Geffen and Intersound Records. She has also had several chart-topping singles. Her signature spine-tingling hit song “And I Am Telling You I’m not Going” charted at #1 on the R&B charts and was a top 40 Pop charter as well. Holliday won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Female Vocal Performance and she was awarded a second Grammy for Best Inspirational Vocal Performance for her soul-stirring rendition of Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday,” a tribute to the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. “The Best of JENNIFER HOLLIDAY: The Millennium Collection” on Universal Records is her most recent release. She has recorded with such artists as Barbara Streisand, Foreigner, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, Michael McDonald, Maurice White, Peabo Bryson, Lorretta Lynn, the Cincinnati Pops Symphony and many CD compilations featured with other artist, including soundtracks for “the Five Heartbeats,” “the Woo-Woo Kid,” “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” and “the Rising Place.”
