INVICTUS RECORDS
****************
When the Holland/Dozier/Holland team left Tamla Motown to form their own
INVICTUS and HOT WAX labels , the scene was set for a classic series of
Detroit soul records .
Their names are synonymous with Tamla Motown golden era . Brothers Brian
and Eddie Holland and their Detroit neighbour Lamont Dozier , wrote and
produced literally dozens of soul and pop hits for Barry Gordy's stable .
Together , they soundtracked the 60's with acts like the Supremes , The
Four Tops and Martha & The Vandellas .
After quitting Motown in 1968 at the height of their success , the
Holland/Dozier/Holland team set out to construct a soul empire that would
rival the one they'd built for Gordy . For more than a year , they
unleashed an apparently unstoppable series of soul classics by Freda Payne,
Chairmen Of The Board , The Glass House , The Honey Cone and 100 Proof Aged
In Soul . As Motown stumbled , caught between their Detroit tradition and
their new ambitions in Hollywood , HDH's Invictus and Hot Wax labels seemed
set to become the dominant pop/soul force of their generation .
