Six: The symbolism behind number Six is legend. With Venus as its ruler, Six represents harmony, balance, sincerity, love, and truth. Six naturally reveals solutions for us in a calm, unfolding manner. We invoke the Six when we need delicate diplomacy when dealing with sensitive matters. The spiritual meaning of number Six also deals with enlightenment; specifically "lighting" our path in areas we require spiritual and mental balance. Sixes beckon us to administer compassion and consciously choose forgiveness in a situation.
Four: The symbolic meaning of number Four deals with stability and invokes the grounded nature of all things. Consider the four seasons, four directions, four elements all these amazingly powerful essences wrapped up in the nice square package of Four. Fours represent solidity, calmness, and home. A recurrence of Four in your life may signify the need to get back to your roots, center yourself, or even "plant" yourself. Fours also indicate a need for persistence and endurance.

According to The Huffington Post, the singer's manager Ron Richardson first reported the news of her transitioning.

Born and reared in Chicago, Holloway got her start singing gospel with the Holloway Community Singers and later became a member of the Caravans. She told The New York Times in a 2009 interview that as a child, she was embarrassed to have such a powerful voice at such a young age.

“I never thought of myself as a good singer,” Holloway told the Times. “When I was five years old I started singing in church and I hated my voice because I sounded like a grown woman, not a child. I was ashamed of it.”

By the 1970s, she embarked on a solo career performing secular music. Her first R&B track was “Rainbow '71,” produced by guitarist Floyd Smith, whom she would later marry, according to the Times. Smith eventually produced her first and second albums, “Loleatta” and “Cry to Me,” respectively.

But the singer's breakout hit came in the late ‘70s when “Love Sensation” reached No. 1 on the Dance Chart. Holloway's vocals from this hit were lifted by the Italian group Black Box for their “Ride on Time” track which grew to be a huge success in the United Kingdom. But the group didn't give Holloway proper credit for her original song, and featured another woman in the video that lip-synced her vocals.

Rapper Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch also sampled the singer's work for their 1991 hit “Good Vibrations.”
