Wrote so many memorable Motown hits with Brian and Eddie Holland in the sixties and also recorded some great solo albums in the seventies and eighties.RIP

The greatest and most influential song writers of the 1960s were Dylan, Lennon & McCartney, Bacharach & David and Holland/Dozier/Holland. I am surprised that Lamont Dozier’s death has been largely unmentioned in the mainstream media. He was a musical genius and HDH were the most prolific hit makers for half of the 1960s - from 1963 to 1967. A glance at the credits of a Supremes, Four Tops or Martha Reeves & The Vandellas compilation shows the volume of classics they wrote and produced - it is staggering. RIP Lamont Dozier.

I always guessed he would have been a lot older than he was, he must have been only in his 20's when he co wrote all those hits in the 60's.

Been listening to a lot of early Motorhead recently, and Leaving Here is pure class.
