Summary

Rhythm and blues legend Smokey Robinson and the great songwriting trio Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Edward Holland on this edition of Fresh Air. Robinson has a new album called Timeless Love. Robinson sings hits from the American songbook, including "I Can't Give You Anything But Love (Baby)", "Night and Day", and "More Than You Know." William "Smokey" Robinson recorded dozens of top 40 hits for the Motown label as a solo artist and with The Miracles. The Miracles' 1960 song "Shop Around" was Motown's first number one hit on the R&B singles chart. Other hits include "Mickey's Monkey", "I Second That Emotion", and "The Tears of a Clown". (Original Broadcast Date: August 21, 2006).

Then, the songwriting trio of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Edward Holland wrote many early Motown hits, and helped turn the company into a powerhouse. Their songs include "You Can't Hurry Love", "Reach Out I'll Be There", "Baby, I Need Your Loving", "Heat Wave", and "Stop! In the Name of Love". Diana Ross & The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Four Tops, and Martha Reeves & The Vandellas recorded their songs. In 1990 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have a new 3-CD box set called Heaven Must Have Sent You...the Holland/Dozier/Holland Story on Hip-O Records. (Original Broadcast Date: May 12, 2003)
