At ten we have the second of the Holland brothers to appear.

10                                       BRIAN HOLLAND   

Born 15th February 1941, in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Along with elder brother Eddie and Lamont Dozier they created the sound of Motown in the 60's, scoring hit after hit, until they split acrimoniously from Berry Gordy in the late 60's. They went onto create their own labels but after some original success Lamont Dozier left and the two brothers struggled on for two more years. Since then new material has not been forthcoming but the trio did reunite for a promotional visit to the UK in 2004.
