- For the first time in four decades, the platinum production team Holland-Dozier-Holland gathers in a studio to revisit their raw Motown tracks. The trio guides us through the making of the Supremes' "You keep Me Hangin' On," revealing the creative process that spawned dozens of Top 40 hits.
YOU guys really influenced an entire generation, both black and white, with your wonderful music - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
RIP Lamont Dozier, the world is a better place for you being on it.
I finally visited Hitsville, USA. I saw that little studio for myself and I was just so blown away! Thinking about HDH, Norman Whitfield, Smokey Robinson, Harvey Fuqua and others along with the artists, the Funk Brothers, the whole Motown shebang! What history!
The Shootist hey there’s also the andantes
I wish that I could be there.
WOW! Legends!
Best songwriting group in history
Some of the best (if not the best) pop music ever written and recorded, bar none.
The prolific songwriting/producing team of Holland Dozier Holland! These guys were the creative geniuses of Motown. True, Gordy was the visionary but HDH songs catapulted The Supremes and The Four Tops to mega-stardom. Their music made Motown, a small independent label into a major player in the industry. Their music is timeless and sound just as great today as it did forty five years ago. They should do a movie or a documentary on these legendary GIANTS.
I totally agree
If they were white it would have been produced years ago.
Criminal...and I'm a white guy
If you ever read this Eddie or Lamont or Brian just know I enjoy listening to your music anytime.
Thank you Holland-Dozier-Holland for all the music you have created. God Bless yah!
Thank you so, so much Free Press for developing and posting this video. It brings tears to my eyes to be granted this little bit of access into the process, and the thoughts of the men who created this incomparable icon of American 20th-century culture. The soundtrack of our lives, the Voice of Young America!
There was no stopping those guys. They were like a speeding locomotive when it comes to creativity!!!!!! Bless HDH!!!!
they are pure LEGEND . And the song's original finale a the end of the video makes it even more precious.
Pure genius, these three.
I love singing their songs to this day. I'm 67 and have been a fan of Motwon for over fifty years.
Holland Dozier Holland🏆🏆🏆Thank you.
Motown lives!!! Always will.
Motown and The Beatles!
Phenomenal & brilliant songwriters & arrangers. Love is Here & Now You're Gone (Supremes) is one of my all-time favorites among so many !
These brothers were awesome. You know you're on top when teens know your names as songwriters.
Please come back and write some more fabulous Motown hits in 2020! So much owed to so few!
It won't be the same......Lamont Dozier passed away last year!
Berry Gordys main cash cow at Motown was these three men
yeah, but only for awhile. then when gordy fired them, he was in trouble. he had other outstanding writers, but they weren't part of his inner circle, so they never got their due at all. Ivy Hunter for example...he was the rebel, so gordy dissed him the entire time Ivy worked for him. if gordy had been half the business man people say he was, he'd have seen the potential in what Ivy did. but not, gordy would rather bite off his nose to spite his face. HDH got a bad deal in the end, but the other writers, with the exceptions of Smokey, Mickey, gordy's relatives, of course, and anyone else who kissed his butt, got a lousy deal all along. smh...Motown was awesome, but it would have been so much more under the leadership of someone whose ego and libido didn't make the decisions.
Hell yeah
Thanks so much for posting this. So much talent--what an incredible musical legacy to leave the world. We're all richer for it.
Rest well Mr. Dozier
the kings of Motown
Humble I should be to this outstanding trio Holland-Dozier-Holland!
They means so much to me... I once produced a song from H.D.H. with a dutch female band. It went into the dutch charts.
Eddy Holland (with the "y") born in Holland.
Rest In Peace Mr Dozier
Amazing talent- Genius!
My favorite music ever..they are absolute GEnius.
This is a video to watch and learn
This is not hyperbole, but, honestly, the world would not have been the same without these 3 geniuses.
THEY WERE THE BEYOND GREAT........MR. DOZIER REST IN PEACE 8/9/2022
My time and what a time.
before it was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis la and Babyface Gamble and huff well you get the message it was Holland Dozier Holland. They were the back bone of Motown Records . All 3 together had the IT THANG. Things that musicians , songwriters and producers do today came from the knowledge of these 3 kats. I pray and hope I will get to meet all three of them before I leave this earth .
Wow, 4 guitars doin that main riff... Ingenious!!
Wow! Such talent never to be repeated...
Amazing! I LOVE MY PEOPLE! 💕💕
I think this this trio of talent should be recognize as the divine magic it is. The hand of God was all up in the mix!! 40 top #1 records with 10 from the Supremes... Nothing but God.
No gods involved, Berry Gordy, Holland Dozier and Holland and the Funk Brothers.
WELL Said...Theresa
Absolute legends !
OMG Thank you for this!!
So that's where the guitar line on "Keep me hangin' on" came from and it caught everyone's attention the very first time you heard it. The Supremes best record among many classics. I always thought if they would have produced the Supremes and Four Tops until 1970, the streak would have continued for the groups. They did have hits but not in continuation and popularity like the HDH hits. Clearly, the best pop producers of the 60's and the history of Motown (And they had many great producers in their stable.) Arguably may be the best producers of all time.
Genius songwriters.
Geniuses.
Eddie gave my wife away at our wedding. I've been tryna give her back ever since.
I have to show him this 😂😂😂
the best songs of Motown are by their
Legendarios!
Wow! What a great video. I lived it, and I loved so many of their songs growing up. Such gifted song writers, arrangers, and producers.
RIP Lamont Dozier.
Stylish chaps and real legends. Utterly prolific.
It's been said a million times, and is cliched. But my God, this was the soundtrack of my childhood.
I feel like today's youth are missing out on something; something magic.
Yeah, I know. Makes me Ole AF.
And songwriters!!
Motown’s three wise men
Their music is a part of me. Capable of reaching inside of you and shaking you to your core. I don't think that there's any medium that affects the human soul like music, because it's spiritual.
3 geniuses
The TRUE Sound of Young America!!!!!
When they left?? Motown slowly died....
Rip Lamont Dozier 💔
Trying to emulate Morse code sounds with guitars is genius.
RIP Lamont Dozier
Lamont dozier recorded great stuff as solo artist in the 70s
R.I.P Lamont Dozier
NO HDH . NO SMOKEY. NO MOTOWN.
Amazing!!! Lamont is gone ❤
H-D-H Forever!
yes☺
It is so bad and so sad to know that Lamont Dozier died. I wish this show would show other Motown artists and musicians for at least 1 hour. There is no music like golden music.
Blessed by the
Lord God ALMIGHTY
Man, this was WAY too short!
BTW, is there more to this? Is there a full length documentary some where?
Seems like Motown was like Black American answer to the Brill Building in New York.
Are they still alive?
Yes...
Yes they are .. and they still look the same with same passion for music
Sadly we just lost Lamont Dozier R.I.P
Lamont was very handsome
Hi Mary Gunn! Happy Thursday to you! And you didn't see Eddie and Brian? Not only the greatest living songwriters, they are FINE too! Have a great evening!
We Know Her LOLLLLLLL MMMMWHAAAAAAAAAAAA
DIVERSIFY DETROIT
If it wasn't for Detroit Free Press we wouldn't have this. Their history is surprisingly not well covered.
You are absolutely right. But I remember as a teenager in 1967, two TV programs, "The Anatomy of Pop" and "The Producers" introduced viewers to the "Detroit Sound."
Eddie's story is tragic. He should be a multi-millionaire. They don't get the appreciation they deserve. Same with Sly Stone.
They need to go on diets!

Decades of good living off of those no doubt INCREDIBLE royalties.
i think Diana Ross is the most over-rated artist at Motown. smh...sleeping with the boss will get you everywhere.
Well everyone has an opinion, and we don't necessarily like all singers. But I am finding a lot of "Diana haters" being fueled by You Tube gossip threads. Many people, with no knowledge of the early "Detroit Sound" (and most not alive in it's heyday) are the ones speaking loudest. Her romantic life is talked about due to her celebrity, and there were many men at Motown who liked her and PURSUED her. The Supremes, in my opinion, join the other wonderful female groups at Motown: Vandellas, Marvelettes, as being the best that I've heard in my lifetime.
And, Mary Ruggiero, how old are you? Tell me, who still looks simply stunning at the age of 77, and still performing? Diana Ernestine Earle Ross! You are not going to take down an illustrious 60-year career. Now, why does she still look so good? BLACK DON'T CRACK!
@@michellekirkendall818 lmao!! she's too damned old to be putting herself out there like she's still 22! if she had any dignity or decency or poise about herself it would be different, but she doesn't. she was never great to begin with, and, Chelly, girl...she hasn't gotten any better!! LOL!! she'd do well to know her limitations...she is so used up and worn out...rode hard and put away wet. she's so starved for attention and deluded that she is still young enough to command the stage. the only reason she's anyone is because she was sleeping with the boss.
you are ridiculous...hanging off her axx the way you do. is she paying to be her minion, or are you just that foolish? LMAO!!
i have been seriously studying Motown for years. i am extremely well versed on the subject. i'd like to address your comment, point by point.
first, "gossip threads", really? that's laughable. they are threads of comments by people who don't like diane. they are, as you stated, entitled to their opinions. as are you. but just because something is your opinion, that doesn't make it true.
second, her romantic life is talked about NOT because she's a celebrity...i haven't come across anything in my research that points to the "romantic life" of Levi Stubbs, or Martha Reeves, or most Motown figures, in fact. diane's romantic life is talked about because SHE pursued every man at Motown...they didn't pursue her. she was a status seeker and a homewrecker, and needed to be the Motown Queen, so she slept her way to berry gordy...who was foolish enough to ruin his own marriage and attach himself to diane, who was attaching herself to him. what a suck-up story. they never did get married to each other, at least.
third, the Vandellas, the Marvelettes, Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Velvelettes, the Andantes (especially!), were groups. diane wanted to be a godess, and you can't have others on the stage for that to happen. she went solo with modest success at best. and compared to the other female artists at Motown, she was mediocre. Kim Weston, Brenda Holloway, Hattie Littles, Syreeta, Chris Clark (another of berry gordy's "special" artists), Bettye Lavette, etc...were all better singers than diane...but no one was as obnoxious and agressive and ill-bred as she, so she got ahead.
Michelle, this is all about research. i assume you are familiar with the inner workings at Motown, and the great number of books that have been written on the subject. i like the ones written by the lesser known Motown people. you compare and contrast what you read, along with other articles and data that you find, conversations you've had with first hand witnesses, and you make conclusions based on that research. i could only come to the conclusion that diane was needy and unprincipled, without morals or values. she didn't care who she hurt, as long as she got what she wanted. very sad that she is still that way today at the age of 77 when she should cultivate a little dignity.
i'm not a "Diana hater", i just know the truth, and yes, she makes me kind of sick because she's not my kind of human being.
@@maryruggiero2884 I also have read books on the subject; "Berry, Motown and Me" Raynoma Gordy Singleton, Mary Wilson's " Dreamgirl: My Life As A Supreme", Diana's book from 1993 (her observations are interesting as well) the latest from 2019; "Come And Get These Memories" Eddie and Brian Holland; "How Sweet It Is" by Lamont Dozier. Yes, there were many talented singers at Motown; Kim Weston, Carolyn Crawford, Mary Wells, Florence Ballard, and my childhood favorite, Martha Reeves. As with any company, or corporation, there are contractual disputes, jealousies, etc. Also, Motown being an independent, black owned company, he had to hire people to get the airplay for his many artists. Some artists didn't suffer because of "Diane" but because of racism and segregation. And, you, like many others, are going by what you read, whether it's true or not. In Eddie and Brian Holland's book, Brian is the only person who speaks highly of Miss Ross. After twenty years at Motown Records, RCA offered Diana 20 million...she asked Gordy if Motown could match it...he couldn't. Her Motown contract would have paid her only 250,000.00 for 20 years of enriching Motown Records. Again, racism and segregation played a big part in promotion and airplay. WLS and WCFL in Chicago did not play early Motown music. This internet has produced many "Diana haters," those who weren't born when the music was made, and have no knowledge of the company's beginnings.
