How many people knew that Patrice Holloway provided vocals for the "Josie & The Pussycats" cartoon series in the 70s?

She was the singing voice for Valerie Brown. Actress Barbara Pariot provided the speaking voice.

It's in the Joel Whitburn Billboard Top 100 book under Josie and the Pussycats.

It's good that she finally got some exposure to the general public. She was a great singer, not unlike her sister. It's a great shame that Motown didn't record her more, promote her career, and release lots of her product. I really like her versions of "For The Love Of Mike" and "The Touch of Venus".. Her Capitol cuts were great, too.

She recorded for Capitol in the mid-late '60s and early 1970s. Motown has released at least "The Touch of Venus" and "For The Love Of Mike" on C.D. If I'm not mistaken, I remember seeing at least one more of her Motown recordings on C.D., but I'm not positive. Nothing was released on vinyl, on a commercial pressing; and I haven't heard of any vinyl DJ's or masters pressed.

I have still got her 1966 Capitol single produced by Billy and Gene Page - Love and Desire, coupled with Ecstasy. I never showed my parents that one!!

I knew! I knew that Patrice was a Pussycat before I even knew who she was! LOL.

Is anyone familiar with these two early 70's Patrice Holloway disks?:

Capitol 3176 - Evidence / That's The Chance You Gotta Take - 1971
Capitol 3265 - Black Mother Goose / That's The Chance You Gotta Take - 1972

I'm thinking that 'Evidence' is the same tune that was a hit for the Sweet Inspirations in 1971. There's also a version by Candi Staton. If Patrice's 'Evidence' is the same tune it's very deep and funky R&B and it would be quite a departure from Patrice's Pop Soul recordings of the 60's and the things she recorded with Josie & The Pussycats. I'd love to hear it.
