Patrice sang on many '60s Motown songs and backing vocals on albums by many other artists (such as Buffy Sainte-Marie's 'country' album), was an original Pussycat in the animated 'Josey and the Pussycats' series and was Brenda's sister.

Brenda Holloway visits the UK every year or so, mainly to play at Northern Soul reunions. Patrice's contributions to Brenda's and other works have never been fully appreciated. At least she will go down in history as co-writer of 'You've Made Me So Very Happy', which is a very great song.

Farewell Patrice.
