RIP.  What perfectly crafted songs, elegant, gritty, impassioned.

Motown isn't Motown without the songs of HDH.  RIP.

Motown, yeah, but his productions on Invictus and Hot Wax often were even better, symphonic/operatic in intricacy in scale. A friend of mine used to call it "producer porn", but that's his opinion. I look at it like he no longer had Barry Gordy to answer to, and this is what his freedom sounded like.

No matter, RIP to a major contributor to American music.

Re Invictus he & the Hollands certainly hit the mark with the Chairmen of the Board. RIP to a real talent.

What a legacy, which will never die as long as people are listening to music

A prime example of "producer porn"

Chastise me in the water of the holies. I like it. A lot.

Even without he interlude/intro.

Meh, give me anything H-D-H did at Motown over this.

Martha's vocal nuances on Jimmy Mack still give my head a rush when the Vandellas come in on the second chorus. behind her. Ain't no hip-hop doin' that to me, No sir.

RIP, L.D.
