Lamont Dozier was most well-known as part of Holland-Dozier-Holland, Motown's legendary songwriting/production team. A galvanizing force in the Detroit label's '60s dominance, the trio was behind number one hits such as "Where Did Our Love Go," "You Can't Hurry Love," "(I Can't Help Myself) Sugar Pie Honey Bunch," and "Reach Out I'll Be There." They later launched Invictus and Hot Wax and enjoyed more success with Chairmen of the Board and Freda Payne. Dozier's own recordings date back to the late '50s. They include a run of '70s and '80s albums that began with Out Here on My Own (1973), featuring two Top 40 singles. Dozier later scored another number one pop hit -- as well as a Grammy -- with Phil Collins' "Two Hearts." The Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee died in 2022, leaving behind a gilded songbook.
