In the 1970s, she performed a duet with Leonard Coleman Boone called There's No Me Without You .
Jim Steinman
In 1983, she performed backup vocals for Bonnie Tyler on the Jim Steinman produced album Faster Than the Speed of Night. Beside the background vocals for other songs on the album, she performed the vocal wail at the end of the title song, which is a true testament of her vocal capacity.
Fire Inc.
She sang with Bat Out of Hell veteran Rory Dodd in the fake band Fire Inc. that was put together by Jim Steinman for two songs in the "Rock & Roll Fable" movie Streets of Fire. Her performance for the two songs Nowhere Fast and Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young were dubbed in the movie by Diane Lane. These two songs never achieved any significant commercial success, although, like much of Steinman's output, it does not reflect upon its quality.
Pandora's Box
She was the lead singer on the track Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) that was released on the album Original Sin by Pandora's Box, a group formed by Steinman in 1989.
In recent years, Holly owns an art gallery called Sherwood Gallery , where she among other things sells jewelry ranging from various prices such as $10 to $10,000.
