THe Door To Yesterday Alan Warner Reach Out I’ll Be There 2020 Holand Dozier Holland



 In its heyday, Motown Records was not

 only home to an enormously rich group of recording artists but also 

to a profuse collection of songwriters whose output helped define the 

glorious era of 1960’s and 1970’s. 


Much of the Motown music from that period was referred to as 

‘The Sound Of Young America’ and three of its leading creators 

formed the songwriting team of Holland/Dozier/Holland

 namely Brian Holland, his brother Eddie and their 

collaborative partner Lamont Dozier. 


Both Eddie and Lamont had started out

forging singing careers while Brian

while Brian was honing his talents

a songwriter and arranger.
