- As part of Lincoln Center's ROOTS of AMERICAN MUSIC SERIES, Brian Holland and Eddie Holland, two members of MOTOWN'S Holland- Dozier- Holland writing team, discuss the inspiration behind their classic songs and perform a few.
The greatest songwriting team in any genre, any era , any place since the beginning of time!
You ever heard of 1964?

Yes. I think so .. was it just after 1963 and just before 1965?
I think Eddie has such amazing presence and a beautiful voice
I adored Eddie Holland. He was one of the best.
Check Out "If You Don't Want My Love"
Thanks for posting this.....I love HDH!
CHILLS BUMPS ALL DOWN MY BACK AND ARMS ....SUCH GREAT GREAT SONGS
Whoever recorded this, do you have the rest of it. I would love to see the whole interview. These guys have to be the best songwriting team of all time right up there with Lennon and McCartney.
BETTER!
@chucksoup: Not to take anything away from your favorite songwriters, in my view, as a black person, I heard of Holland Dozier Hollland BEFORE Lennon and McCartney. The Beatles covered " Please Mr. Postman" which is a Robert Bateman and Brian Holland tune; they sampled "Money" by Barrett Strong. So in my opinion, my Motown faves are SECOND TO NONE.
@@michellekirkendall818 okay. I won’t argue with you. The Beatles covered a few Motown songs but I think Please Mister Postmen is even better than the original. By the way, my wife and I drove 11 hours from NJ to Detroit 7 years ago to go to Hitsville and stand in Studio A where all those great songs were recorded.
Berry Gordy may have founded motown but HDH made motown.They must rate as the best song writing team in pop history.
Being from Detroit I love everything Motown; but whoever's filming this would you please put that Jack Daniels bottle down!
for REAL 😎😁😁
They are from DETROIT!
These two gentlemen who are immensely talented for producing the most beautiful and timeless music don't get the credit today that they so richly deserve.
GENIUS ♥️
Where is the rest of this video. It cuts off at the good part....The Four Tops!
HELP! I''m getting sea sick watching this. Someone hold the photographers arm
Even for a great songwriter it's next to impossible to get a number one hit. Yet Edward wrote the words to only number one hits one after the other. So I doubt if Edward really needed Brian to tell him how great he is when the public told him how great he is. There's only one word you can use to describe the Holland Dozier and Holland team... GENIUS!
Music has not been the same since Brian Eddie Holland and Lamont also Smokey.Robinson managed the Motown records that was owned by Berry Gordy we need to get back to the basis of real music that reaches the body mind and soul. D Pitts
Hey, these guys are my uncles, and their music genius is off the chart. Love them immensely...... ( kool & down to earth guys ) 💙
Your Uncles, are the epitome of talented.!!!
Man! you brothers have to be reincarnates of composers like Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Verdi, Bach or Shakespeare. One of those famous musicians /poets. Thank you ,God Jehovah for HDH. They helped the world be a better place with their music and lyrics. They seemed to have strong ethical parents as well. Right on, right on.
Thank you, Brian and Eddie for your talent and entertainment. Eddie, I love your Leaving Here song!
Also, loved what you created after Motown!!
Unreal! These guys are by far the best!
Mr. Eddie Holland .You are the Greatest Lyricist on the Planet....The HOLLAND DOZIER HOLLAND WRITER/PRODUCERS TEAM IS THE GREATEST...
They are real musical genius good sings for difficult times a blessing to experience.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILMING THIS AND PUTTING IT ON UA-cam!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this online! Geniuses! So awesome to hear them talk about their creative work.
Love these guys. The music they wrote was freaking amazing. I would like to ask them who played bass on Bernadette. James or Carol?
James Jamerson. To quote Viola rules: "Carol Kaye seems to have confused playing on Motown covers and later projects with the original recordings done in the '60s. Holland-Dozier-Holland, the crack writing/producing team at Motown in their heyday, have gone so far as to sign an affidavit stating that James Jamerson was the bassist on their sessions, bar none . . . Plus, the original Motown multi-tracks exist, where you can isolate the bass tracks. These were done on Motown's Detroit studio's custom 1", 8 track machine. No way those could have been played on by Carol Kaye. I think the United Western studios only had 4 track machines at that point (think of the Beach Boys' recordings). No doubt, those recordings originally being done on 8tracks, whereby you can isolate the Jamerson bass tracks, is a gift to our generation and pretty much refutes Kaye's assertion that she played on the original Motown recordings. Finally, you can hear the bass parts are not being played with a pick, but with the finger, and that's how Jamerson played. Kaye has always played with a pick.
Steve Litos adds: "Carol did work on many Motown sessions. She probably played on a few hits too.
Motown hits recorded in LA prior to "I Want You Back":
More Love - Smokey
Love Is Here & Now You're Gone - Supremes
Every Little Bit Hurts - Brenda Holloway
You've Made Me So Very Happy - Brenda H.
I'll Try Something New - Supremes & Temptations
She played on some released album tracks too - producer Deke Richards 100% stated that she played bass on The Temptations - Why Did You Leave Me Darling.
Likewise the famous northern soul hit - Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You" is probably her too since it's a picked bass part." Source: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/carol-kaye-james-jamerson-whats-this-all-about.238421/
Kaye is a bad ass player..but Jamerson was FUNKY..he had certain runs where he wanders off but stays on The One. On J5 "Darling Dear" he does the same thing..
PRICELESS!
thanks for posting this!
Although we are related I have never met Brian or Eddie but I've been fascinated with their music since I was a child growing up in Detroit. It was their mother Evelyn who shared fond stories and made our intrinsity memorable. Altough I'm mesmerized by the early Motown sound it was "why can't we be loves, and Don't leave me starving for your love" that date stamps my days of young. I am Keith Giddings Smith a.k.a Rhythm Rapport. Google my a.k.a and check me out on jango ll pictures, videos...
Great watching & listening to the brothers sharing some of their early stories from their historic career. When Eddie was asked to name his favorite Supremes’ composition, I remember reading somewhere he mentioned Love is Here, Now You’re Gone. I love all their songs, but that one, is tops for me too ✨❤️👍🏻✨
I love the music lyrics . Alberta Holland Jones
If we are not relative ,do look like some of my people .
SOUNDS DO GOOD. UNCLE EDDIE HOLLAND COULD HAVE A HIT RECORD ON THESE WONDERFUL SONGS HIMSELF HE HAS DO MUCH FEELING AND SOUL. THE MUSIC MASTERS. REAL COOL MUSIC ROYALTY!!!
Great interview but the videographer should have experimented with focusing the camera before the interview started. His constant movement is very distracting so that reason, I recommend listening to this more than watching it.
