Album Description
You know their names. But do you know why you know their names? You know them because of songs like "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave," "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Baby Love," "Come See About Me," "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," "Can I Get A Witness," "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)," "Jimmy Mack"... the list goes on and on. And you know all these songs - and the artists who sang them - thanks to three men: The composer/producer team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland, Jr.From 1963 to 1967, Holland/Dozier/Holland was the chief hitmaking engine of the Motown machine. They departed the company in 1968 to found their own venture, Invictus/Hot Wax, which launched the careers of The Chairmen Of The Board and Freda Payne (among others), and composer/ producer/band leader McKinley Jackson. In the mid '70s, they returned to the Motown fold and delivered hits for the Jackson 5, The Supremes, Eddie Kendricks and The Originals.

THE CREAM OF THE CROP!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-14
Where is The Honey Cone?.......2005-12-24
WHERE IS THE HONEY CONE? Hello..."Want Ads" was one of the biggest Pop & Soul #1's that H-D-H ever wrote and produced! Not to mention all of this fine girl group's other sassy, sexy, soulful Hot 100 hits!
There is just sooooo much missing. What about 80s hit covers of 60s H-D-H? Not that they topped the original artists' versions, but they introduced H-D-H to a whole new generation, most notably, "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by Kim Wylde.
Another missing gem is Phil Collin's 1988 #1 smash "Two Hearts", co-written by Phil with LAMONT DOZIER!
All in all, this is a disappointing track selection. I understand the limits of contracts with several labels, but more of an effort needed to be made at a cross-label retrospective that focused MUCH MORE on H-D-H's own Hot Wax/Invictus catalogue, and covers from the 80s and 90s ought to have been sought out for inclusion to bridge the time gap and show their continued relevance.
And lastly...why was EVERY #1 hit by (Diana Ross &) The Supremes included? Good grief, leave consumers a reason to purchase "The No. 1's" by DRS!

The HDH Story- Versus-The Motown Box.......2005-10-03
A good introduction to Motown's best... for Mono single fans.......2005-10-01
Just trying to choose "only" four hours of material to represent HDH's career, spread out over three jam-packed CDs, must have been a daunting task for compilation producer Dana Smart (advised by Holland-Dozier-Holland themselves). You'll find both major #1 smashes as well as more-obscure singles, B-sides, and album tracks, along with a few bona fide rarities, like Dusty Springfield's non-charting "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" and HDH's own "Where Did We Go Wrong." (How a Warner Bros. track like the Doobies' hit wound up on here must be a miracle of contractural negotation.) HDH are represented here not only as producers & songwriters, but also as performers, showcasing half-a-dozen of their own hits (few of which did as well as the songs they wrote and produced for others). This compilation also has several tracks not found on any other CDs (to my knowledge, anyway), including Lamont Dozier's excellent 1973 anti-war song "Fish Ain't Bitin'," as well as the rarely-heard long album version of "Trying to Hold On to My Woman." (The single version is preferable to me, and is arguably the best of their own solo hits.)
But how does the compilation sound? Well, first up, the good news: engineer Gavin Lurssen at LA's Mastering Lab (with Suha Gur and Kevin Reeves on the analog tape transfers) did an exceptional job, with every track sounding as good (or better) than it ever has. I thought in particular the bass sounded a little bit less "bloated" than it often does on a lot of Motown-era hits, save for The Supremes' "My World Is Empty without You," which pretty much has that characteristic sound imbedded in the original track. Kim Weston's "Helpless" sounded particularly clean, as did "(I'm a) Road Runner" and "You Can't Hurry Love," both of which have sounded very murky in the past. I noted both tracks present the full-length single versions, unlike the slightly-shorter versions that wound up on most earlier CDs.
But the bad news is: if you're a stereo fan, stay far, far away. More than 2/3 of this set is all mono, albeit the correct hit single versions originally issued on 45RPM records. Some of the mono versions are fairly rare, like "Give Me Just a Little More Time" and "Band of Gold," which I can't recall ever hearing in mono on a CD, so completists might want this set for that reason alone. Still, it's a bit of a disappointment.
The liner notes are a little lacking as well, providing an overall biographical profile, rather than an in-depth song-by-song story of how each was written and produced. The notes refer only obliquely to the acrimonious split between H-D-H and the Motown label over profits around 1967, but provides virtually no details. (Those lawsuits were still pending as of the late 1990s, and as far as I know, they have yet to be settled). The notes also refer to a split between Dozier and the Holland brothers in the early-1970s, which explains why the Invictus/Hot Wax label hits fizzled out so quickly, right around 1973. Regardless, the songs on this collection are a formidable powerhouse of some of the most memorable soul classics of that era, and are a reminder as to the importance of Holland-Dozier-Holland in pop music history.
I found this to be an unusual group of both over-exposed hits as well as bona fide obscurities, some of which deserved much better chart success. In particular, I thought The Originals' "Good Lovin' Is Just A Dime Away" (written and produced by Lamont Dozier for Motown in 1975), should have at least made the top 100, if not the Top 10 on the R&B charts; maybe radio programming execs were put off by the brief retro "vo-do-o-do's" in the intro.
Since this 3-disc set is budget-priced at under $35, I'd recommend it with some reservations, for those looking for the handful of rarities plus the particularly clean-sounding mono tracks. But stereo fans should look elsewhere.

WOW!!! This is what country should sound like.........2002-11-11
MMMMMMMMM His songs are written with such feeling's that comes from the Heart. I get chills on my body each and every time I listen to his songs. The best I like most of all is "I Will" I played this single to the younger teens and they just went crazy listening to it.
What we have our hands here is a reborn Elvis....
My question is when is he coming to "SWEET HOME ALABAMA"????
Where do I buy my tickets a head of time?
