Album Description

You know their names. But do you know why you know their names? You know them because of songs like "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave," "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Baby Love," "Come See About Me," "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," "Can I Get A Witness," "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)," "Jimmy Mack"... the list goes on and on. And you know all these songs - and the artists who sang them - thanks to three men: The composer/producer team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland, Jr.

From 1963 to 1967, Holland/Dozier/Holland was the chief hitmaking engine of the Motown machine. They departed the company in 1968 to found their own venture, Invictus/Hot Wax, which launched the careers of The Chairmen Of The Board and Freda Payne (among others), and composer/ producer/band leader McKinley Jackson. In the mid '70s, they returned to the Motown fold and delivered hits for the Jackson 5, The Supremes, Eddie Kendricks and The Originals.

THE CREAM OF THE CROP!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-14

The finest pop songwriters get a piece of their due with this three disc set. There were no finer writers than HDH during the second half of the twentieth century and this set is testimony to that. Sadly, most of these songs are available elsewhere and avid Motown fans will find this redundant. Great mono versions of a good chunk of their biggest hits but a second volume is called for with more of the post Motown output and a deeper look into the vaults for demos of some of the literally hundreds of top shelf songs these guys wrote. How did they do it? Don't have a clue but I sure do love these songs...

Where is The Honey Cone?.......2005-12-24

I give the music 5 stars, but I find this set to be woefully incomplete, giving short shrift to H-D-H's OWN Hot Wax & Invictus labels!

WHERE IS THE HONEY CONE? Hello..."Want Ads" was one of the biggest Pop & Soul #1's that H-D-H ever wrote and produced! Not to mention all of this fine girl group's other sassy, sexy, soulful Hot 100 hits!

There is just sooooo much missing. What about 80s hit covers of 60s H-D-H? Not that they topped the original artists' versions, but they introduced H-D-H to a whole new generation, most notably, "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by Kim Wylde.

Another missing gem is Phil Collin's 1988 #1 smash "Two Hearts", co-written by Phil with LAMONT DOZIER!

All in all, this is a disappointing track selection. I understand the limits of contracts with several labels, but more of an effort needed to be made at a cross-label retrospective that focused MUCH MORE on H-D-H's own Hot Wax/Invictus catalogue, and covers from the 80s and 90s ought to have been sought out for inclusion to bridge the time gap and show their continued relevance.

And lastly...why was EVERY #1 hit by (Diana Ross &) The Supremes included? Good grief, leave consumers a reason to purchase "The No. 1's" by DRS!

Isn't this another way For Motown to Cash in.......2005-10-08

I was a little disappointed to receive this as a gift, then again I basically have every song issued on this 3 box set either from other Motown comps, or individual reissues on Artists on CD. I thought it would have been greater if They had expanded this beyond a 3 box set because haven't we all seen the 10 ten hits 25 times over in the last 40+ years, and then the second round on 2nd tier Hot 100 and certain Non-charters are also well documented. It would have been better to see Album tracks and great B-Sides up there too, I know Holland Dozier Holland wrote some of the greatest hit songs of the 60's and early 70's but it would have been nice to expan beyond the obvious singles that most of us already know, and pull some intriguing items from old albums, reissues and unreleased Material. To me it's uncomplete when "Any Girl In Love" (The Supremes & Kim Weston) "I Hope You Had Better Luck Than I Did" (Marvelettes and Martha & The Vandellas) "Call on Me" (The Four Tops) or "Wheels of The City" (Barbara McNair & The Supremes) aren't among songs include....this is yet another Motown cash cow....

The HDH Story- Versus-The Motown Box.......2005-10-03

Motown's composing team Holland/Dozier/Holland,AKA H/D/H, is being saluted in two boxed sets. For the avid H/D/H fan, there's the three CD set "The Holland/Dozier/Holland Story," the first set to include their work as early Motown recording artists,as Motown staff writers/producers and their work as record moguls at Invictus Records. For that, this is a must buy for the collector.This compilaton does not include all their Motown hits and are in mono, except "Reflections," and the Invictus hits. For the audiophile, twenty two of the same songs, and seven excluded from the HDH story, can be found on the Motown Box set, in stereo. Buy both!

A good introduction to Motown's best... for Mono single fans.......2005-10-01

The careers of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland, Jr. are the stuff of legend, resulting in well over 100 hits ranging over the four-decade span from 1962 to well into the 1990s. HDH helped shaped and molded the sound that put Detroit's Motown label on the map, and a multi-label salute to their work is long overdue. "Heaven Must Have Sent You: The Holland/Dozier/Holland Story" is a brand-new set from Universal's Hip-O reissue division, and it's a deluxe package in a fold-out cardboard "Eco-Pack" (which will undoubtedly frustrate standard jewel-box collectors).

Just trying to choose "only" four hours of material to represent HDH's career, spread out over three jam-packed CDs, must have been a daunting task for compilation producer Dana Smart (advised by Holland-Dozier-Holland themselves). You'll find both major #1 smashes as well as more-obscure singles, B-sides, and album tracks, along with a few bona fide rarities, like Dusty Springfield's non-charting "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" and HDH's own "Where Did We Go Wrong." (How a Warner Bros. track like the Doobies' hit wound up on here must be a miracle of contractural negotation.) HDH are represented here not only as producers & songwriters, but also as performers, showcasing half-a-dozen of their own hits (few of which did as well as the songs they wrote and produced for others). This compilation also has several tracks not found on any other CDs (to my knowledge, anyway), including Lamont Dozier's excellent 1973 anti-war song "Fish Ain't Bitin'," as well as the rarely-heard long album version of "Trying to Hold On to My Woman." (The single version is preferable to me, and is arguably the best of their own solo hits.)

But how does the compilation sound? Well, first up, the good news: engineer Gavin Lurssen at LA's Mastering Lab (with Suha Gur and Kevin Reeves on the analog tape transfers) did an exceptional job, with every track sounding as good (or better) than it ever has. I thought in particular the bass sounded a little bit less "bloated" than it often does on a lot of Motown-era hits, save for The Supremes' "My World Is Empty without You," which pretty much has that characteristic sound imbedded in the original track. Kim Weston's "Helpless" sounded particularly clean, as did "(I'm a) Road Runner" and "You Can't Hurry Love," both of which have sounded very murky in the past. I noted both tracks present the full-length single versions, unlike the slightly-shorter versions that wound up on most earlier CDs.

But the bad news is: if you're a stereo fan, stay far, far away. More than 2/3 of this set is all mono, albeit the correct hit single versions originally issued on 45RPM records. Some of the mono versions are fairly rare, like "Give Me Just a Little More Time" and "Band of Gold," which I can't recall ever hearing in mono on a CD, so completists might want this set for that reason alone. Still, it's a bit of a disappointment.

The liner notes are a little lacking as well, providing an overall biographical profile, rather than an in-depth song-by-song story of how each was written and produced. The notes refer only obliquely to the acrimonious split between H-D-H and the Motown label over profits around 1967, but provides virtually no details. (Those lawsuits were still pending as of the late 1990s, and as far as I know, they have yet to be settled). The notes also refer to a split between Dozier and the Holland brothers in the early-1970s, which explains why the Invictus/Hot Wax label hits fizzled out so quickly, right around 1973. Regardless, the songs on this collection are a formidable powerhouse of some of the most memorable soul classics of that era, and are a reminder as to the importance of Holland-Dozier-Holland in pop music history.

I found this to be an unusual group of both over-exposed hits as well as bona fide obscurities, some of which deserved much better chart success. In particular, I thought The Originals' "Good Lovin' Is Just A Dime Away" (written and produced by Lamont Dozier for Motown in 1975), should have at least made the top 100, if not the Top 10 on the R&B charts; maybe radio programming execs were put off by the brief retro "vo-do-o-do's" in the intro.

Since this 3-disc set is budget-priced at under $35, I'd recommend it with some reservations, for those looking for the handful of rarities plus the particularly clean-sounding mono tracks. But stereo fans should look elsewhere.

Another Great Mississippi Artist.......2006-04-19

I love this CD. I would love to see the radio stations more receptive to new and local artist, like Chad. When I call to request Chad the radio stations refuse to play him even in Jackson at Miss 103 because he is not on a major label. Good luck to Chad from another Mississippian.

What an incredible voice!.......2004-05-24

Chad has revived a stale country music scene with his album, "Heaven Sent." His style is traditional, yet cutting edge, and the vocals can't be beat! He's got one of those silky smooooth, melting voices that speaks directly to your soul. This guy could sell ice cubes in Alaska with a song!
Chad fans need to get on the horn to radio stations and GET HIM ON THE AIR!

Heaven Sent * Chad Simmons.......2003-03-05

This CD is wonderful. His voice is so strong, in fact; he will be the next George Strait of Country Music. Every song is from the heart as if it is only you and him in the room. He caresses you with his voice. Sure makes my heart beat faster. I have seen him perform and he is wonderful.
This is a "Must Have" CD for any music library, yours will not be complete without it!

From Chad Simmon's Number One Fan.......2003-02-07

...I love all the songs on his CD and "Heaven Sent", which was the highest charted independent single last year, has been nominated Single of the Year by "New Music Weekly", which is based in Hollywood, CA. "I Will" holds the same honor after being on the chart for only eight weeks. Chad has been nominated Male Vocalist of the Year. Awards are to be presented March 15. I, like others, get goose bumps listening to his songs and he sounds as good as Gene Watson, both George Jones and George Strait and Merle Haggard. We have heard demos he has done that we would love for him to record so everyone could hear them. I thank everyone for their positive reviews and ask that you tell all your friends and let them know they can buy Chad's CD at Amazon.com. Be sure to pass on to your friends that information can be found on Chad at Amazon.com. Chad's Number One Fan and Fan Club President - Marie

WOW!!! This is what country should sound like.........2002-11-11

I have taken the time to review many county stars and what I consider Real Country has not came around until NOW "CHAD SIMMONS".

MMMMMMMMM His songs are written with such feeling's that comes from the Heart. I get chills on my body each and every time I listen to his songs. The best I like most of all is "I Will" I played this single to the younger teens and they just went crazy listening to it.

What we have our hands here is a reborn Elvis....

Diz-ope.......2000-07-10

This song is original, and has some very new and boombastic flavor. Charlie Clouser's remix (Orpheus Floating Remix) is very high quality, especially since he's a member of NIN. He shows great depth with his work on this song, and shows that he is capable of far more than fleshing out Trent Reznor's work. Seven bucks well spent.

One of the best cd's I've heard in the last year........1999-03-07

Esthero's Breath From Another seems to have many layers to it. It's not easily tiresome like most of the pop, alternative etc. that is force-fed to us through radio. It is one of the best cd's I've heard in a while.

I loved the song........1998-07-29

I would recommend this single to anyone who wanted to hear a REALLY good song. The lyrics are funky, and it is just really interesting.
