Also cut this track for Anna Records in 1960. A forgotten classic.

The amazing amount of hits created by that team…

There of course were the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, the Beach Boys, the Stax-Volt gang, and sui generis James Brown. But take it from one who was there. Motown was the real background music of the '60s, and this man was one massive reason why.

If his master tapes still exist, they have to be worth hundreds of millions.

No group benefitted more from the talents of HDH than the Supremes

 

[Jake from State Farm]

They got into a $$$ dispute and left Motown but HDH started their own label and kept cranking out hits
Saw her a few years ago at Detroit Jazz Fest
Stunning woman

What's crazy is the covers of their songs that also became hits - many decades later. You Can' Hurray Love (Phil Collins), Heatwave (Rondstadt), How Sweet it Is (James Taylor), Little Darling (Doobies),
