The story of Motown's greatest songwriting team, Eddie Holland, Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier, and their split from the label to form their own new label, Invictus to be based in Detroit.
Thank you for posting this. I was about to start making a documentary on Invictus myself and lo and behold, they already have their own!! Thank you!!! Deleted all my files lol
Thank you for uploading this documentary. Years ago this ran on a defunct channel called Black Family Channel. I recorded it on VHS tape. Between the signal freezing and recording on slow speed on a inferior quality tape, it didn't stand up well over time. I tried to watch it recently and the video was jumping and the audio was so-so. Then I said "check RUclips"...bam! Thank you.🖒
When Lamont is talking about "Where Did Our Love Go" in this interview, he intended the song for The Marvelettes first but the girls didn't like the song. The editing for this documentary cut that part out, and only refers to then giving the song to The Supremes afterward. 6:43
@@tomrobbins5242 It WAS...Invictus and Stax were fine until they both went into distribution deals with CBS. They acquired association with the labels and then strangled them to death.
I love how the documentary juxtaposed the fame and fortune the artists were enjoying with the business struggles and perils the people behind the scenes were experiencing.
Logan Westbrook shows up on both this documentary and the Stax Records documentary. Westbrook worked for CBS and he KNEW CBS Records gutted and destroyed BOTH Stax Records and Invictus Records under his watch! Sheisty!

Me too. Thought it was a conspiracy, as it tells on the owners of the corporate industry, epic, Columbia etc.
