He signed with Berry Gordy’s hometown Motown label, the Sound of Young America, in 1962 as a triple threat, artist, producer and songwriter. It was there he hooked up with Brian Holland and later on, his brother Eddie, setting the standard of ‘60s R&B and soul, fulfilling Lamont’s dream of creating music that could cross over to pop radio. It dominated the era and laid the foundation for successors, and in 1968 they left the nest to set up their own Invictus and Hot Wax labels.According to Jackson, “Dozier will have a major announcement that will be exclusively revealed Saturday night.”Dozier continues to work with such chart-topping acts as Kanye West, Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, members of the Black Eyed Peas, Joss Stone and most recently, Solange Knowles and George Benson.###
