We hope you're sitting comfortably, as this new compilation of 68 tracks
has a running time of 3 hrs and 30 mins. As it states in the title, it
covers the music of "Holland-Dozier-Holland 'Detroit': 1969 - 1977", Most will need no introduction kicking off with Freda Payne's UK
#1 pop hit "Band Of Gold" (which stayed at #1 for six consecutive weeks
from Sep-Oct 1970 and was 'probably' instrumental in our own baptism to soul music at an influential age but is now regarded as an overplayed wedding song!) and closing with Chairmen Of The Board's "Skin I'm
In".
Although we haven't checked rigorously, it will undoubtedly include all the hits
released on their Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant labels over an
eight year period after they split from Motown.
The compilation is also
available on vinyl (but with only 55 tracks) and CD with comprehensive
sleeve notes from Stuart Cosgrove, the author of a trilogy of soul history books "Detroit 67: the Year That Changed Soul" (2015), "Memphis 68: The Tragedy of Southern Soul" (2018) and "Harlem 69: the Future of Soul" (2019).
Some songs worth highlighting include a few modern soul favourites: the sublime Satisfaction Unlimited "Let's Change The Subject", Silent Majority "Something New About You", H-D-H "Why Can't We Be Lovers" and
"New Breed Kinda Woman", New York Port Authority "I Got It", Tyrone Edwards "Can't Get Enough of You". A couple of
popular Northern Soul tunes, Eloise Laws "Love Factory" and Just Brothers
"Sliced Tomatoes" as well as Freda Payne "Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right" and "We've Got to Find a Way Back to Love" along with
Brian Holland "I'm So Glad" and so many others.
