One of the greatest and you can share a memory if you want.

Name a song on this list and it is probably spinning all around the world since it was released. Hell of a singer/vocalist as well. He did some great solo work as a singer-songwriter as well in the 70'

I think I heard Reach Out I'll be there first from a film.

and the list keeps going. He co-created a musical lexicon that revolutionized R&B-Soul-Pop music & we are all better for it

"Dozier was a member of Holland–Dozier–Holland, the songwriting and production team responsible for much of the Motown sound and numerous hit records by artists such as Martha and the Vandellas, The Supremes, The Four Tops, and The Isley Brothers.2 Along with Brian Holland, Dozier served as the team's musical arranger and producer, while Eddie Holland concentrated mainly on lyrics and vocal production.2

Along with the Holland Brothers, Dozier followed his work for Motown Records as founder and owner of Invictus Records and Hot Wax Records, producing top-charting hits for acts Freda Payne, Honey Cone, Chairmen of the Board, and 100 Proof Aged in Soul.2

Early yearsedit
Dozier recorded a few unsuccessful records for various Detroit labels before the trio started working together as a writing and production team for Motown in 1962.2 They first made their mark the following year with Martha and The Vandellas' early hits, including "Come and Get These Memories" (number 6 R&B), "Heatwave" (number 1 R&B, number 4 pop), and "Quicksand" (number 8 pop).

In 1964, "Where Did Our Love Go" became the first of ten number 1 pop hits which Holland–Dozier–Holland would write and produce for the Supremes over the next three years or so. After Holland–Dozier–Holland left Motown in 1968 to form the Invictus and Hot Wax labels, Dozier began recording as an artist on their labels.2 The most successful song was "Why Can't We Be Lovers" (number 9 Billboard R&B).2 Dozier departed from Holland–Dozier–Holland in 1973,2 and was replaced by new arranger-producer Harold Beatty.

Performeredit
Dozier went on to record a number of albums as a performer in his own right, also writing much of the material. The 1977 album, Peddlin' Music on the Side (Warner Bros. Records) contained "Going Back to My Roots", which was later recorded by Odyssey.2 The earlier Black Bach (ABC Records) featured the single "Fish Ain't Bitin'" (#4 R&B, No. 26 pop).3

He had his biggest hit with 1974's "Trying to Hold on to My Woman" (ABC),2 which reached No. 15 on the pop chart and No. 4 on the R&B chart. For the second season of the TV sitcom That's My Mama, (ABC, 1975) Dozier wrote and sang the theme song, replacing the first season's instrumental only theme music. In 1981, he scored a beach music hit with "Cool Me Out" and also in that year released the single "Shout About It" from his LP Lamont. This track had considerable airplay on UK soul radio stations as well as being promoted by UK DJ Robbie Vincent in the early 1980s to a British audience.citation needed

Composeredit
Dozier had another number 1 hit as a songwriter in the 1980s, joining with Phil Collins to write the song "Two Hearts" for the movie soundtrack for Buster.4 "Two Hearts" received a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, tying with "Let the River Run" from Working Girl by Carly Simon; an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song; and a Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.3 Collins and Dozier also co-wrote "Loco in Acapulco" for The Four Tops, which is also featured on the Buster Soundtrack.5

In 1984, Essex, England-born singer Alison Moyet scored a U.S. top 40 hit with the Dozier-penned "Invisible".5 Three years later, Dozier cowrote "Infidelity" and "Suffer" with Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall for the British pop-soul band's second album, Men and Women. In 1989, they teamed again to write "You've Got It" and "Turn It Up" for Simply Red's follow-up LP, A New Flame.

In 1987, Lamont Dozier composed alone a song for the soundtrack of another film: the song "Without You", which was recorded as a duet by the R&B singers Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle,6 to be the love theme from the comedy film Leonard Part 6, released the same year.7 The song was released as a single and entered the United States and United Kingdom music charts, peaked at No. 8 on the Adult Contemporary Tracks,8 No. 14 on the R&B chart,9 No. 85 on the UK Singles,10 and No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 (1987–88). "Without You" was also recorded for the Peabo Bryson album Positive, released in 1988.
"Without You" also received two adaptations: the first was in Portuguese11 and the second was in Spanish,11 in 1989 and 1990, respectively.11 Both adaptations received the title "Amor Dividido",11 and were recorded by the Brazilian singer Rosana,11 "Amor Dividido" in Spanish is a duet by Rosana with the Mexican singer Emmanuel.11"

Ridiculous level of talent on his own. -

Don't sleep on his solo s***.

Black Bach is such a hard album title, goddamn

RIP to an actual titan of music

RIP

There is something so wrong about CNN having Olivia Newton John and not having Lamont's passing front page to get people to know the history. I don't even know where to begin. But this is more than common what we do with our cultural institutions

I'm going to say this in such a blunt way.

This man probably saved thousands of lives in Vietnam from suicide,doing something stupid, inspiring them or helping them connect with a lifetime friend, staying calm in the jungles, helicopter, etc

The list is crazy of things to pull up.

Add to the fact, HDH probably kept Motown in the profit mode for a long long time.

HDH also signed Parliament to their first album deal with their Invictus label. gr

some beautiful s*** he sang as well

RIP legend

can't say i know his solo work at all but if you know anything about Holland-Dozier-Holland, you know they were single-handedly THE Motown sound

RIP man

Without Holland Dozier holland. the budget for a lot band's and singers isn't a reality at Motown & all the sub-labels.

Because that's how serious Supremes and Four Tops were to keeping a engine of Motown to rev up the playing field for the next generation of artists.

And without H D H- you don't have all these acts from all over the world that were inspired to be something in music, this is a cultural historical bridge that should have more than just an obituary, imo.

His stuff is really nice.
