Quotes by Brenda Holloway

• I feel Motown really exploited me.
• A lot of times I can across as too masculine to men, and they couldn't handle me, they stayed away.
• Then when Gladys Knight came in to do my songs that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
• I was a black singer with a white voice, a perfect pop voice.
• Motown's policy was to build one act at a time or their favorites.
• My costumes were made for sex appeal not for women.
• Success to me was getting out of that contract in one piece.
