As the creative force behind Berry Gordy Jr.'s Motown Records in
the mid-Sixties, a writing credit from Holland Dozier Holland was
virtually a guarantee of chart success. From Stop! In The Name Of
Love to How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You, they were the
songwriting and production dream team responsible for some of the
greatest songs of the twentieth century. In this compelling
autobiography, brothers Eddie and Brian Holland share their story
for the first time, starting with growing up in Detroit raised by a
single mother and their grandmother, before shining a light on
their early musical careers. A gifted lyricist, Eddie started out
as a solo singer with Berry Gordy as his manager before partnering
up with his brother Brian and Lamont Dozier, both talented
arrangers and producers. When Holland Dozier Holland came together,
they helped transform Motown Records from a local soul label into a
worldwide hit factory, home to international superstars such as
Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, The Supremes, Smokey
Robinson, The Miracles, The Four Tops and The Isley Brothers. After
an awe-inspiring tenure they left Motown in 1968, continuing their
successes at new labels and with new collaborators for years to
come. Featuring honest and open first-hand accounts, Come and Get
These Memories is more than just a behind-the-scenes look at Motown
Records at its peak: Eddie and Brian set the record straight on
both their personal and professional lives and offer a revealing
slice of pop-music history.
