From her early days as a girl singing solos with the choir at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Houston, TX to her years on the Broadway stage and beyond, her inimitable voice has riveted the hearts of audiences from around the world.A Broadway Legend in every sense of the term, her professional journey began one fateful Sunday in Houston while singing in her church choir when Ms. Holliday was discovered by dancer Jamie Patterson, who was touring in the national company of A Chorus Line.
