The Greatest Songwriters Ever! | The Untold Truth Of Holland-Dozier-Holland | Motown Legends Ep55

[@nicolesherman8974]

The greatest trio ever lived and they did so much.

[@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.

Holland-Dozier-Holland were one of the true legends for producing and writing the hits.. can you also Please, Please, PLEASE do a video on the Funk Brothers another one of the true legends of Motown, who were the studio musicians for the Motown singers.. Great video by the way..

[@frmoak2atl]

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…

[@thankthelord4536]

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

[@lindawilliams8715]

"Business is business and love is love"...good advice well taken.

[@meechymeech15]

Loved how you broke down the beginning of their careers straight to the point

[@JamesSmith-mz5rz]

Yes these guys were a part of the Motown brain trust, true superstars that will live on forever, I have most of their songs in my brain, enough said!!

The LEGENDARY Iconic Holland Dozier Holland

[@soniatorres5227]

Absolutely great history . Wow ur right ; they are by far, are the best writing team ever . Classic songs that still are great today

[@AlienLegendmovie]

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.

[@michele462]

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

[@autumnsmom1117]

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. #hollanddozierholland

[@michele462]

I am really looking forward to this video because I don't know that much about Holland-Dozier-Holland.

[@kamronrhodes5151]

Can't wait

[@cinnamonspice4389]

Westbound number 9 is one of my favorite tunes from the legendary trio

[@cjsansoo7]

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!!!

[@terrymathis1446]

They MADE Motown!

[@StreetMediaT.V]

Greatest song writers Ever. Hands Down!!!

[@marvinwhittaker]

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.

[@DebraCarr-j8k]

They were the bomb. They deserved all accolades they finally got and more

[@calebdouglas7622]

They were especially big for the Temptations

[@vernonsmith6176]

Smokey robinson and Norman whitfield were the writers for the temptations...correct me if I'm wrong.

[@rawvision6701]

They were big for the Four Tops.

[@davidquinn1727]

Imagine their Album cuts and Top 200 cuts. Imagine the songs that never made the cut!

[@RonaldMorgan-n7o]

Eddie Holland was brilliant with his lyrics.

[@michaelcoffey7362]

WOW 🥰

[@gregdaniels8193]

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

[@jeffthekillercriticremixer5968]

All those wonderful hits and and yet when they release their own album they could not find a hit for themselves

[@SanBan-do7by]

They wrote so many hits not just for the Surpremes and the Four Tops a clear six pack between 1963-1967 Can I Get A Witness You Lost The Sweetest Boy Mickey's Monkey This Old Heart Of Mine Im A Road Runner Jimmy Mack all of which while in Motown

[@stylzeswift9705]

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..

[@Tes7000]

I am still trying to get to the bottom of this. Berry Gordy required all of his songwriters to publish through Motown's publishing companies. Did he keep ALL the money? You wouldn't think so, but look at what happened to The Beatles. Holland-Dozier-Holland would have still been entitled to their songwriter royalties, but in the 60s, mechanicals for songwriters was only two cents per single sale. I would hope that Gordy at least split the overall publishing 50/50. I am reading Martha Reeves', of Martha and the Vandellas, autobiography now. She said the group's final royalty rate was 6% split 3 ways. After having hit records and touring throughout the 60s, she basically moved into the 70s broke. Too many artists trusted Gordy with not only their artist management but also their financial management, only to end up broke after he dropped them. When Jean Terrell left the Supremes and Motown in 1973, she complained that the label wasn't keeping an accurate accounting. I fully believe it. At the very least, artists should have been given quarterly statements to know how much was being held in trust by Motown on their behalf.

[@Asshat237]

H-D-H were geniuses, pure and simple

[@eddieaow42]

That was very good, and thank you for this 💯🎤🎹📻🤩👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎵💙👀🔥

[@timsimmons5190]

I know martha was very appreciative of these guys. Im ready for love was my favorite

[@CaptainIrvitron]

Hey WBPTV, I really appreciate your KZbin 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… 😊

[@directfighter225]

Did lamont dozier play piano

[@ericvanjames8395]

With all due respect, your pronunciation is incorrect: "Andantes" is correct! (Not the Andettes).

[@WBPTV]

I correct myself when I did the Andantes documentary
