Hello my friends!
We all love what is referred to as the “Motown Sound”. The record label from Detroit, Michigan that gave us some of the greatest music, artists, and hits of the 20th century! Artists like THE FOUR TOPS. DIANA ROSS and THE SUPREMES , THE TEMPTATIONS, MARVIN GAYE, STEVIE WONDER, and of course SMOKEY ROBINSON and his MIRACLES! In fact, Smokey is a music miracle himself…for he was a co-founder and major part of Motown success as an artist, songwriter, and producer of so many of Motown’s iconic hit songs that were giant hit records. And of course, we here on my show have had the honor of paying tribute to SMOKEY with a full two hours of his music and productions, and he has given an amazing open and insightful interview! I am proud that he has been a true 60 year friend of mine! The public does not know
the names HOLLAND-DOZIER-HOLLAND….HOLLAND, the writer and record producers of what I and many consider their works to be the sound of Motown or should I say the “Motown Sound” songs written and produced by this trio…HOLLAND-DOZIER-HOLLAND are DIANA ROSS and THE SUPREMES:
“Baby Love”,
“Stop! In The Name Of Love”, “
“You Keep Me Hanging On”
“Where Did Our Love Go”
“My Love Is Empty Without You”
“I Hear A Symphony”
“Come See About Me”
“You Can’t Hurry Love”…
All iconic MEGA hits for THE SUPREMES! And how about this giant smash…
“How Sweet It Is? (To Be Loved By You)”, a million-selling single and signature hit for MARVIN GAYE. Or how about the hits they wrote and produced for one of the greatest recording artists of all time, THE FOUR TOPS…Mega hits like…
“I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honeybunch)”
“Baby I Need Your Lovin”
“Reach Out (I’ll Be There)”
These are the hits that make up what is known as “The Motown Sound”! And so now…you know who and what our tribute show is to this Saturday night…revealing the trio of songwriting genius’ and record production giants LAMONT DOZIER,- BRIAN HOLLAND, and EDDIE HOLLAND, who one can say that those three songwriting record producer genius’ created what the world calls the “Motown Sound”!!!!…And that is the purpose of my show this week…to reveal to the public and to pay ultimate respect and thankfulness for some of the greatest music of the Twentieth Century!
