Brenda Holloway- Every Little Bit Hurts (Live)

[@Gaeill]

The best female voice out of Motown.

[@ummwhatever1913]

2024 listening to this version and original. This type of music does NOT exist anymore. Love it !🥰🥰🥰

[@tramp2827]

My two Brendas. Brenda from the Tabulations and Brenda Halloway. Couldn't live without them.

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

This woman been beautiful all her life. I wasn't even born till 1978. Just saw an 1964 clip of American Bandstand/Dick Clark and in a million years woulda never thought thru out the years she was only 17 when the song was recorded in 1964. She still got them eyes. She took very great care of herself.

[@rozziec.3197]

Damn she can blow. She held that note with ease

[@imbees2]

Miss Brenda Holloway tore this up. Great voice.

[@TyStephens]

WOW! The original key and those strong pipes!! She should have been a bigger star!!! Go, Brenda!! And, still so beautiful too!!

[@edwinmuhammad4217]

The very first song I ever slow danced and fell in love to, way back in 1964. Thank you Brenda

[@jesserice2309]

TAKE ME BACK< TO A TIME THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EVER BE AGAIN!!

[@fredlawson9394]

No school like the old school..🎤🎵🎹🎼

[@EastleighSoulboy]

41 years has not dissolved the essence of soul that she has in her voice. Still a stunning looking woman as well!

[@MotownMaster]

we've lost alot of Motown artists over the years, thank god Brenda is still with us, she still sounds great to this day

[@MargaretBetteridge]

I have her album.And I am 72 years old.

[@bertiejr]

holly cow...she hasn't lost a thing. great pipes.

[@emiliaabeyta159]

This is music many of us grew up with. And it's exciting to see younger people appreciate the classics. And saying Say What???

[@thruthealcove]

DAMN she tore this up!!! YOU BETTA SANG GIRL!!! A legend!!!

[@genettalacey2627]

Memories floating around everywhere. The lady is awesome.

[@marlonbryant3807]

Man I was like 5yrs old and loved this song amazing how music can just stick with you at any age, I mean real music

[@Chicanaloca]

So true. My folks listened to all the big bands & jazz singers. They're still in my soul ..

[@Kitu74]

The harmony is incredible..classic 60s arrangement..Beautiful Thing ..

[@boofusdeldooofus]

Brenda Holloway is a GREAT singer. Beautiful inside and out too.

[@prophetchristophermouningm7364]

Wow! Her voice is still the same and powerful ❤

[@quincarr3654]

This one use to shut me down every single time my mom played it, no matter what I was doing, I would instantly stop, go to my favorite oversized chair and sit without moving a muscle., meditating, it was a natural reaction. I was a child then and now in my 60s. I still have this song in my heart, and seeing her perform it so elegantly is amazing, what a blessing.

[@JLPerryTV]

She was 58 when she did this performance. She looks great. I was waiting for them to break out into a gospel song. She would have been amazing on the gospel circuit

[@gwendolynforest9610]

That song bring back so many memories of my younger years.

[@tramp2827]

Class cannot be bought or taught. You are either born with or without. This girl has class, talent, and looks. Gordy could never handle her.

[@Nizamsmith1]

Damn! She sounds better here than she did back then!!! And looks just as good too! DAMN! I am blown away completely over this performance!!!

[@eternalme6077]

AMAZING!!! Brenda STILL KILLING IT....... Super Tight Band, and those Sweet Sweet Soul Sisters laying it down with the backing Vocals. Thank you so VERY much for Posting this Beauty.....🎸💚

[@bankman58]

Thanks so much!!

[@imbees2]

I saw Brenda Holloway in the 60s. She was an icon well before Diana Ross. She was the Diana Ross of the 60's. She wasn't well publicized, or managed, but she was so very good. As she is now. She has to be going on towards 70. Late 60's. She looks beautiful. You go girl!!!!! I was a teenager and she was older than me back then, in her 20's probably, in the late 60's. Do the math....

[@johnmadera4199]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. The song and the Lady !

[@WongTinKay]

She is still so beautiful and her voice is so wonderful and warm.

[@desert3347]

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda......She can still make me "shiver".

[@luvrumcake]

Wonderful performance...STILL A DIVA!

[@MrCeora]

Brenda, please come back and record another CD and show them how it's done!

[@erubey8909]

Wow!!!. She's still Beautiful!!!. And of course she can sing!!

[@Daisnap]

I have watched this so many times, I’ve lost count. Perfection all the way around. The way she says “Thank you! All right!” before she sings the very last note - I’ve never seen anything like it! Love it. Not to mention that extra Long note she sustains while casually walking across the stage - amazing. The back-up singers, the musicians - all magnificent!

[@bankman58]

Thank you! I appreciate your comment.

[@Daisnap]

@@bankman58 My pleasure - Thank YOU, Stephen, for posting such great interviews and often-hard-to-find musical treasures! I didn't know The Supremes did a Run, Run, Run till I saw your channel! Wonderful content, I am subscribing! Best, Harry

[@Miss_Loving]

It truly is a blessing how we black women (whom take care of ourselves) age so beautifully, like no other group of people. Brenda looks great. Melanin is a blessed gift from our Creator Father God...thank you God. 👍🏽

[@FriendofDorothy]

Great performance, and I still listen to "Every Little Bit Hurts", "When I'm Gone", etc. by Brenda Holloway. She was a songwriter too, btw. Did youknow she wrote "You Make Me So Very Happy", which she recorded also as well as it being a big hit for Blood,Sweat and Tears? She's the real deal, and "Every Little Bit Hurts" is a stone cold Motown classic. I see no need to compare her to Diana Ross; they are simply different artists with different strengths and talents. That makes about as much sense as comparing Jimmy Ruffin with Marvin Gaye. I appreciate them ALL

[@paulwhite2787]

Brenda's record graced my wall for years till I moved . Her personality and style set the bar for beauty!Very cute and youthful. Her chime is medicinal! Respect to this west coast beauty!

[@sweetoneloves6811]

I live in Los Angeles and I had a chance to meet Brenda Holloway in a salon where i use to work. Very wonderful person she is. Got a chance to get her autograph. Brenda is a very friendly person

[@sonialumley2510]

Best singer ever lived

[@replyform]

This woman, Brenda Holloway, never cease to amaze me. I love her voice now, as much as i did when i first heard her in the 60s. She actually sounds better. More expression and energy. I like the way she does it.

[@SteveWeaverIvyfield]

Sensational - she sounds even better than in the 60's!!!

[@DYNODRUM]

"Superb ;what a Vibe, ,a voice to mezmerize , so Smooth... Thankyou...

[@musicrocksoffical]

Her voice is just so great. Even after all those years. ❤❤❤Brenda❤❤❤

[@blossomhicks4288]

This song came out in 1962 I was 4 years old look at Brenda hollyway look at her I am tripping on how fine she is black just don't crack go Black woman. Beautiful!!

[@sheilapalmer224]

Ilove this jam

[@westpoint64]

What a beautiful performance. She's taking a song she's probably been singing since...what? 1962? and she just goes off and takes it to church! With such a great attitude, too..she keeps saying "thank you" to her audience. I just love seeing singers get lost in the moment and rip it out like this!

[@KamalShariff]

Just beautiful. I was in elementary school and my sisters used to play this and other Brenda Holloway tunes.

[@dltoliver]

The Great Brenda Holloway is singing her 1964 hit "Every Lit Bit Hurts" in 2005. She hasn't lost anything in 41 years. She is an incredible Motown treasure. She is probably the most talented and least publicized artist in the Motown family.

[@MicCo58]

Your voice is absolutely beautiful. Continue to shine like the true star that you are.

[@cynthiamarshall13]

Brenda, You are the Best!

[@blossomhicks4288]

Listen to her runs in her voice.

[@jahfwa]

Yes, Ms. Holloway! I love how you sing and I'm so happy to see you looking so beautiful.

[@sheilapalmer224]

This is a master piece

[@imbees2]

One of the best R&B songs ever/ Brenda sings this!!! Listen to the 45, which I have.

[@barpypardlo]

Wonderful!

[@YACKYSNACKY]

Oh, my goodness, that was AWESOME!

[@donaldsmith379]

Hello yacky

[@mfalmekali]

I can you still look & sound good after all these years??? WOW!!!

[@kpitt1204]

I am blown away. She is selling the song for all it is worth!!!!!!!!

[@yebouti]

By God this is some seriously righteous shit!! Fabulous! these gals are feelin' the spirit..

[@cyberrob57]

Damn Brenda, you git it girl! I first heard this song when I was 7 years old and I fell in live with the song and Brenda, and I still love you both.

[@bufb]

She was talented and beautiful. She is a megastar in my eyes

[@waiwai1730]

She still is

[@donaldsmith379]

Hello Mary

[@ronaldsmith1985]

We truly lost 😔 great singers from motown but their music still grows stronger and memories

[@wandaclark5020]

❤She still is beautiful with a beautiful voice here in 2024 so underated.

[@doconnor1354]

BEST Motown singer, hands down!

[@fantastica9186]

She sounds great. Been listening to her songs. She's so beautiful.

[@24theallison]

Wow I love this song

[@betsyboneshaker2204]

Like fine wine...

[@tonyhamid802]

Glad to find yet another great singing angel to add to my collection of great,great divas.

[@imbees2]

this song sounds very much like the 45. Brenda hasn't lost her touch

[@martymefurst]

This might be one of the greatest songs ever, and every young soul singer has much to learn from Brenda and a few others of her generation. Soul is not about vocal gymnastics and singing hundreds of notes in one breath, it's about finding that part of you and your experiences that gives you a deep personal connection to the song, and then putting the listener in that same place because they have been there too.

[@jacquelinefletcher4577]

I love this song I grew up on this song, me and my brother it reminds me of us when we were younger and she is beautiful and she sings just like she did back in the day. Love you much. God bless you.

[@MyJayAbles]

and then break into Marvin's 'Distant Lover'...this woman is awesome!

[@eddiemaewilkerson7928]

come on Brenda girl, you better Sang!!! I love you and you'll always be my forever sister!!!

[@sheilapalmer224]

Eddie Mae Wilkerson ifeel you brenda

[@eddiemaewilkerson7928]

Sheila Palmer She really had an amazing voice i remember in the early 60s when i was getting into my 20s i fell in love with her. "I will always love you", was my favorite. To me she still hasn't got the recognition she deserved. Gladys and Aretha both covered this song as well!

[@imbees2]

Brenda Holloway, a National Treasure. Her songs helped create soul music.

[@sheilapalmer224]

You are a queen

[@hellochannel6344]

She has a helluva set of pipes!

[@franklee9152]

I am so glad I viewed this! First of all MAD RESPECT to Ms Brenda! So few artist are able to maintain there voice as time goes by. Life, Environment, and some bad habits hamper the gift. If I one the lottery I would invest in building a place where entertainers of yesteryear could come and perform allowing those like myself the ability to hear and enjoy these ladies. All professional now sometimes charity is good. However artist need to get paid! Another bonus some like I could also have ability to bring an entire new generation of fans. The GOD given beautiful voice of Brenda Holloway no longer would be considered a part of the oldies and dusty's category. We do in this country to one's that may not have dropped a track in a few years.

[@clarkvaughan]

Brenda Holloway is fine. In '64 she was fine. She just got finer, oh my God. God is so good. Sounds fantastic too. Good Lord. I'm in shock.

[@jamesalford756]

Brenda Holloway, Claudette Robinson and Mary Wells are this finest today of that Motown era, I'd date 'em all!

[@DetroitLives313]

That is Detroit's own Ms. Pat Lewis backing Brenda up here!

[@JLPerryTV]

Which one is she?

[@DetroitLives313]

Pat Lewis is on the far right. She has a ponytail.

[@Powerfulchange712]

Wow, wonderful!!

[@giorgioadams]

[@chrisgray4046]

Love 💕 this woman. ‘Crying time’ is my favourite tune, then this one. Epic 👍

[@zahadou]

Brenda and this song was much appreciated and sung by many British bands - The Small Faces - The Spencer Davis Group - and suprisingly The Clash.... Church it out Sister !

[@Chicanaloca]

Didn't know that... thanks

[@rosemarywatson1231]

This is one of my favorite slow jams.

[@isaiahthompson2065]

BRENDA STILL GOT IT ! SHE DID THAT ! ONE OF MOTOWN'S FINEST !

[@BEAUSONS]

[@cassandraromero6430]

[@donaldsmith379]

Hello Cassandra

[@sheilapalmer224]

You are a icon

[@thebassman5820]

I first saw her on TV when I was a little boy I had a puppy crush on her she was then and still today one of the finest looking woman I have ever seen in my life

[@loveyouall66]

AMEN TO THAT BROTHER.

[@williamwatt7874]

[@djdeitch]

[@TheJohnpandy]

Wowxa wonderful vocal. Jxxx ❤️

[@crichta]

Fantastic.

[@valeriejohnson4204]

Nothing against Ms. Diana Ross, but Brenda Holloway didn't get the marketing as Ms. Ross, Brenda is talented there is no denying it. Just to let fans of her know, Ms.Holloway is doing fine and lives in Los Angeles.

[@blossomhicks4288]

Look at her thanks for sharing the details.

[@merquryj]

She didn't.... She's amazing

[@LB-ss6qq]

Correct.... As Ms Ross was Gordy's favorite. IMHO Mary Wells was a far better singer.

[@merquryj]

@@LB-ss6qq her voice was like fine wine.

[@JLPerryTV]

It wasn’t about who had the most soulful voice. It was about who’s voice could cross-over into pop. Motown was trying to break that barrier. They had a harder time doing that with their soulful and huge-voiced singers (Brenda, Kim Weston, Florence Ballard, Paul Edwards, etc) so they turned their attentions to the singers with lighter voices

[@Transit_my-way]

she look fine for her age....and still sounds great

[@owhite9878]

she be sangin the damn thang!

[@imbees2]

Sing it now Brenda Holloway!!!!
