Holland Dozier Holland & Kick
Ira,
Happy Birthday to Brian Holland, one of the true giants of Motown. He is the first Holland of Holland/Dozier/Holland, authors of countless hits and with Lamont Dozier, producer of hits especially for Martha and the Vandellas and The Supremes. There are too many gems to choose from but here are my favorites as co-composer and co-producer for Martha and the Vandellas and The Supremes:
1. Nowhere To Run - Martha and the Vandellas
2. You Keep Me Hangin' On - Supremes
Donny
Nonkinsense adds: most anything by the Four Tops, including "Reach Out" and "Baby I Need Your Loving."
