    I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Dozier in Hollywood when he worked for ABC records. I was introduced to him as a young female that thought I was interested in producing records. He was extremely patience and told me very valuable information. I was no one famous or related to anyone that was. He took time to talk to me because someone asked him too. I will never forget his kindness and genuine concern to help someone to get into the industry.

    Motown was my parents generation, they were teenagers during the 60’s, as a result I grew up listening to Motown in my household. HDH are in my top 5 writers/producers. They paved the way for Gamble & Huff during the 70’s, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in the 80’s, Babyface & LA Reed and Teddy Riley during the late 80’s and 90’s…

    Wow. I had no idea they wrote that many hits!!!!

  • @ryandejuan9934

    I'm always amazed at the fact that The Supremes spent all that time with no hits then they paired up with H-D-H and everything they touched turned to gold. Hit after hit. Their run of success was highly impressive. Ten number one hits over the course of 1964-1967. Thanks to the creative genius of the Holland brothers and Lamont Dozier, Diana, Mary, and Florence became a defining act of the 1960s.

    Jimmy Mack" is the first song i can remember as a 5 yr old girl in 1966.

  • @sexymama1966
    @sexymama1966 Před 10 měsíci +13

    "Jimmy Mack" went top ten on the hot 💯 for the ladies. Some of the h-d-h songs that were cover versions that went to the top ten years later for other artists include "you keep me hangin' on" (vanilla fudge in '68) -kim wilde in the 80s, "you can't hurry love"/phil collins, "baby, i need your lovin"/johnny rivers with darlene love and the blossoms, "how sweet it is to be loved by you"/james taylor and "this old heart of mine"/isleys and and rod stewart, just to name a few. the songwriters deserved their props.

    While hearing this, my mind reflects back to happy times. I grew up listening to all these classic songs written by Holland-Dozier-Holland, being played on my parents record player. From Motown and other points along the way, they wrote so MANY JAMS!!! Thanks for the information and background regarding the three musically creative, gifted, and extremely talented trio. Truly appreciate the trip down memory lane.

    Greatest song writers Ever. Hands Down!!!

  • @marvinwhittaker
    @marvinwhittaker Před 10 měsíci +5

    They produced 12 number one pop hits. 10 for The Supremes, and 2 for The Four Tops. Their sound was magnificent. They wrote (I'm A) Road Runner for Jr. Walker. Your Love Is Amazing for Shorty Long. Love Gone Bad for Chris Clark. You Lost The Sweetest Boy for Mary Wells. Take In Your Arms for Kim Weston. This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You) for The Isley Brothers. Heaven Must've Sent For The Elgins. A Tear From A Woman's Eye a non single for The Temptations. Locking Up My Heart for The Marvelettes.

    You've done it again young brother! The Four Tops were my favorite Motown group because of the hits HDH wrote for them. And they wrote my all-time favorite Motown song " love is like an itching in my heart." I played that 45 so much that it turned white. I don't know how you're able to find some of those rare recordings. You are a genius.....and greatly appreciated!!!

    I started hearing these guys back in the 60s. I noticed their names on the motown albums as writers. They had a special sound and the music stood out. Great video.

    Excellent vignettes. Keep up the great work. Perhaps you could spotlight other record labels and artists.

    Berry Gordy... Did all of those artists wrong...He was underhanded and conniving.... Those Artists were entitled to there proper pay outs.. I hope the real truth comes out some day..

    Hey WBPTV, I really appreciate your CZcams videos. You give a ton of useful information about all of the acts that you cover. I grew up a liner note reader back in the days of record albums so I automatically gravitate to the kind of videos you do. I only have one suggestion and that is to proof check your videos before you post them. You mispronounce a lot to words & names or use the wrong word all together. An example is “I hear a sympathy” by the Supremes in this video when the word is “symphony”. I’ve watched a lot of your videos because as I said in the beginning I appreciate your efforts in informing us all. I will continue to watch your videos because they’re really good, just that one little thing.
    I mean you no disrespect, just trying to be helpful… 😊
