At number seven is our first non British writer, and of course a member of the legendary Holland/Dozier/Holland team.
7 LAMONT DOZIER
Born on 16th of June 1941 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Best known for his writing partnership with the Eddie and Brian Holland, they were Motown's top writers and were really the lynchpin for what Motown achieved in the 1960's. By the 70's they had moved onto form their own label, but after early success the partnership was dissolved, after this Dozier had success writing for others up until the late 80's, and he continued a solo career, that although brought him few hits, did bring him more critical acclaim. His work carries on hitting the chart due to its popularity with artists who wish to sample it.
