Album Description
You know their names. But do you know why you know their names? You know them because of songs like "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave," "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Baby Love," "Come See About Me," "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," "Can I Get A Witness," "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)," "Jimmy Mack"... the list goes on and on. And you know all these songs - and the artists who sang them - thanks to three men: The composer/producer team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland, Jr.

From 1963 to 1967, Holland/Dozier/Holland was the chief hitmaking engine of the Motown machine. They departed the company in 1968 to found their own venture, Invictus/Hot Wax, which launched the careers of The Chairmen Of The Board and Freda Payne (among others), and composer/ producer/band leader McKinley Jackson. In the mid '70s, they returned to the Motown fold and delivered hits for the Jackson 5, The Supremes, Eddie Kendricks and The Originals.

Customer Reviews

Holland -Dozier-Holland Music
Motown's Famous trio Songwriters! Wrote Major Hits, for the Supremes, Four Top's,Temptations,Marvin Gaye,Stevie Wonder and More!
This is there best Collection EVER! I can't hardly wait for there 2009 Broadway Play Music of up coming "FIRST WIVES CLUB"!

THE CREAM OF THE CROP!!!!!!!!!!
The finest pop songwriters get a piece of their due with this three disc set. There were no finer writers than HDH during the second half of the twentieth century and this set is testimony to that. Sadly, most of these songs are available elsewhere and avid Motown fans will find this redundant. Great mono versions of a good chunk of their biggest hits but a second volume is called for with more of the post Motown output and a deeper look into the vaults for demos of some of the literally hundreds of top shelf songs these guys wrote. How did they do it? Don't have a clue but I sure do love these songs...

Where is The Honey Cone?
I give the music 5 stars, but I find this set to be woefully incomplete, giving short shrift to H-D-H's OWN Hot Wax & Invictus labels!

WHERE IS THE HONEY CONE? Hello..."Want Ads" was one of the biggest Pop & Soul #1's that H-D-H ever wrote and produced! Not to mention all of this fine girl group's other sassy, sexy, soulful Hot 100 hits!

There is just sooooo much missing. What about 80s hit covers of 60s H-D-H? Not that they topped the original artists' versions, but they introduced H-D-H to a whole new generation, most notably, "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by Kim Wylde.

Another missing gem is Phil Collin's 1988 #1 smash "Two Hearts", co-written by Phil with LAMONT DOZIER!

All in all, this is a disappointing track selection. I understand the limits of contracts with several labels, but more of an effort needed to be made at a cross-label retrospective that focused MUCH MORE on H-D-H's own Hot Wax/Invictus catalogue, and covers from the 80s and 90s ought to have been sought out for inclusion to bridge the time gap and show their continued relevance.

And lastly...why was EVERY #1 hit by (Diana Ross &) The Supremes included? Good grief, leave consumers a reason to purchase "The No. 1's" by DRS!
