Members Faulkner Posted August 9, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2022 Legends keep leaving us. Holland-Dozier-Holland are responsible for so many Motown hits. I first heard of the Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake in Pet Shop Boys’ great song “Flamboyant”: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted August 9, 2022 Members Share Posted August 9, 2022 So many great hits, famously for The Supremes off the top of my mind, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2022 Members Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) I sometimes take for granted just how much Holland-Dozier-Holland had to overcome to become such a touchstone of American music. I also take for granted at times just how much their songs resonated for generations, through nostalgia, or covers, or popping up as soundtracks on many romcoms or period pieces. These days, music tends to feel so derivative, and at times, choking on self-important misery. The lifeblood that Motown gave to this country made many stars, and made a magnate out of Berry Gordy, but Lamont Dozier will never fully get the credit he deserved. I love so many of their songs, far too many to list, but this may be my very favorite, with the soul of Motown, always there to remind us of the heartache underneath the glitzy costumes and flawless choreography.

Members Faulkner Posted August 16, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 I was actually coming to post this. Very tragic. “Found dead in his U.S. apartment.” Even stateside, I remember how big that season of Pop Idol was, with Will Young winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted August 17, 2022 Members Share Posted August 17, 2022 Same. Love THE NEVERENDING STORY. Hard to hear since I so remember so many times seeing her name watching 90210. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
