Eddie and Brian Holland, the legendary songwriters, pick the Tracks of My Years with songs from Smokey Robinson and The Miracles and The Supremes. Working alongside Lamont Dozier they were known as the iconic songwriting trio Holland-Dozier-Holland. In their new book called Come And Get These Memories they tell the stories behind their phenomenal success. Raised in Detroit by their grandmother and single mother, the brothers tell their stories of growing up before shining a light on their early music careers. Eddie was a gifted lyricist and solo singer managed by Berry Gordy before he partnered with Brian and Lamont Dozier, themselves both talented arrangers and producers. Once they had become one of the creative driving forces behind Motown, a Holland鈥揇ozier鈥揌olland writing credit was a near certain guarantee of chart success. As a songwriting and production team, they were responsible for many of the greatest songs of the 20th century. Between them, they helped transform Motown from a local soul label into a worldwide hit factory that became home to such superstars as Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Isley Brothers and many more.
