About this listen
Brian Holland, Edward Holland, and Lamont Dozier, known as Holland-Dozier-Holland or H-D-H, were the greatest songwriting team in American pop music history. Seventy of the songs they wrote reached the Billboard Top 40, with 15 of these reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. No other songwriting team or individual has come close to equaling - let alone surpassing - this record.
They’ve been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. As tunesmiths for the legendary Motown Record Corporation, and for their own corporations, Invictus Records and Hot Wax Records, they wrote and produced hits for Diana Ross and the Supremes, including “Baby Love”, “Stop! In the Name of Love”, “Where Did Our Love Go”, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”, “You Can’t Hurry Love”, “I Hear a Symphony”, “Come See About Me”, “Back in My Arms Again”, and “Reflections”.
Now the legendary composers are ready to reveal the inspirations and stories behind their chart-topping hits, providing millions of fans with the first complete history of their songwriting process, and detail the real-life experiences that led them to write each of their most famous tunes. They will also reveal their creative and intimate relationships with Motown’s biggest stars.

Eddie H in particular seems to be absent any self awareness and loads the blame for the situations that ultimately limited his nonetheless incredible success, to anywhere but with him. It’s sad to hear of a series of futile ego driven lawsuits against so-called friends. Sadder still to hear the denial of culpability, and that’s before you get to the casual dismissal of the pain he seems to have inflicted on the women in his life. His mea culpas are shallow and his choices hard to understand.
However, nothing can take away from the ge jus that was HDH at Motown. I’m forever thankful for their talents and these songs.
Spoiler alert: don’t meet your hero’s
