Truly Judy’s Uncommon Oldie Of the Week takes us to WKNR, Keener 13 at 1310 AM on your dial, in Detroit/Dearborn, Michigan to May 14th, 1964.
My survey artist, Eddie Holland, was also born in Detroit, Michigan. He had several songs on the charts between 1962 and 1972. He was also part of one of the most successful songwriting teams of all time.
According to my research, Eddie started working behind the scenes because he had stage fright. His first hit in 1962, Jamie, is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I have the 45. As a member of Holland, Dozier, Holland, the songwriting and production team was responsible for much of the Motown sound and hit records by Martha & the Vandellas, the Supremes, the Four Tops, The Isley Brothers and others. Eddie Holland was the team’s lyricist, and the trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990.
On the WKNR Keener 13 Detroit, Michigan, survey on May 14th, 1964 at #22, here is Eddie Holland with Just Ain’t Enough Love on the Motown label.
