So we lament Lamont. I did not realise that his collaboration with the Holland brothers had ceased as early as 1973 but then most of thegreat H-D-H songs were the Motown 60s hits, before DR decided that she was too good for the Supremes!Comment

Lamont Dozier - Such a talented song writer. Hit after hit, after hit!
An undervalued soul singer too.Comment

Heard a short tribute to Lamont this morning on radio - The Elgins 'Heaven Must Have Sent You'; Four Tops 'Reach Out I'll Be There';; The Supremes 'Come See About Me'; Junior Walker & allSTARS 'Roadrunner'; Martha Reeves and the Vandellas 'Heat Wave'; R. Dean Taylor 'There's A Ghost In My House'. Say no more...and they could have chosen a myriad others.Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostComment

I didn't know that he had written 'Going Back to My Roots', a song that Richie Havens did a wonderful version of. But here's Lamont's own version which is mighty fine.
