Tramaine Hawkins ~ Holy One You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

"Holy One" is absolutely my favorite song from Tramaine. I've always thought she had such an incredible voice. Don't know why she was so under-rated. I remember back in '83 when she recorded "Fall Down" and "In The Morning Time", she received a lot of flack from the church and the gospel community for sounding too R&B. Yet, the Winans were doing the same thing and not receiving the same kind of criticism "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

.Now, you have all of this Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary clubbish, hip-hop mess and everyone loves it.
Mahalia Jackson's singing was blues based. The Rance Allen Group had soul, rock, funk, and even disco style songs. So there isn't really anything different about Tramaine's music.

All of it was rooted from Gospel. Gospel music is the root of blues, soul, funk, disco, hip-hop and rock. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
