The music sound of the sixties can be synonymous with artists that came from the legendary Motown record label, founded by Berry Gordy in 1959. But, that sound wouldn’t have existed if it wasn’t for Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland (Brian’s brother), a songwriting/producing trio who worked with artists such as The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye and The Supremes.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is one the most prolific songwriting and music producing duos in music history. They have worked with the who’s who in the music industry since the early eighties most notably in the R&B music genre.

What does Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog”, George Benson’s “On Broadway” and Michael McDonald’s “I Keep Forgettin (Every Time You’re Near)’” have in common? There were songs that were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, one of the first songwriting duos in the early days of rock and roll.
