The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old, But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul, My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man, I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
There are some great songs about fathers out there: the ones dedicated to his love, the ones about a strained relationship and even the ones certain dads wrote about their newborn children. No matter your relationship with your Dad, there are probably some songs that will bring back memories.
My second inductee(s) for my Songwriters Award is another team, this time Holland-Dozier-Holland.
Holland-Dozier-Holland (H-D-H) was a highly successful songwriting and production team in the 1960s, responsible for creating numerous hit songs for the legendary Motown record label. The trio consisted of Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, and Eddie Holland.
