Holland, Dozier and Holland are arguably the greatest songwriters ever. More prolific than
Lennon and McCartney, they shaped "the Sound of Young America" and propelled the Motown
sound in the mid-1960s into a creative stratosphere unmatched by any other independent music
label. Their trademark catchy teenage love songs were delivered energetically by previously
unknown Detroit groups like The Supremes, the Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas & Marvin
Gaye.
Although synonymous with Berry Gordy's Motown, it was their departure from Motown after a
stand-off strike in 1967 and a brutal legal battle that led them to run their own group of labels,
Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant.
This compilation is a definitive look at this period in history, exploring how H-D-H, under a new
guise 'The Creative Corporation', drove the next generation of soul music in a myriad of different
ways, towards funk, underground disco and jazz. Featuring 68 tracks, this collection documents
HDH's creativity and growth over this seminal 8 year period. During this time the trio developed
new artists to rival Motown's success such as Chairman Of The Board, Freda Payne, Honey Cone,
Glass House, Flaming Ember, 8th Day, Laura Lee & Eloise Laws.
The collection is complete with a detailed depiction of this period in history by award winning
author Stuart Cosgrove who wrote the Soul Trilogy, a series of books on soul music and social
change - Detroit 67: the Year That Changed Soul, Memphis 68: The Tragedy of Southern Soul which
won the Penderyn Prize, as Music Book of the Year in 2018, and Harlem 69: the Future of Soul.
Stuart's notes detail the relationship with Motown in the final days, the immediate fall out after
the trio left Motown and the creation of the new labels Hot Wax, Invictus & Music Merchant.
