Motown Master: Lamont Dozier at the BBC

A celebration of the work of songwriter Lamont Dozier, who passed away in 2022, featuring a rich selection from the BBC’s archive of performances of his work from over the decades. As one of the legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland trio, Lamont helped create the Motown sound that spread right across the globe in the 1960s. It set a new standard in popular songwriting, which won over fans like Bob Dylan and The Beatles, with songs like You Keep Me Hanging On, Baby Love, This Old Heart of Mine and Reach Out I’ll Be There. This collection features Dozier’s best-loved and most recognisable hits, performed by artists like Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Four Tops, and Martha and the Vandellas, whom he helped turn into international stars. Plus those who have kept his work alive and relevant to this day, including Phil Collins, Kylie Minogue, Rod Stewart and Rag'n'Bone Man.
