I’m taking you back more than half a century tonight, to 1964 when The Supremes recorded Baby Love and hit #1 on both the U.S. and UK charts. The Motown songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote this, and according to Lamont Dozier …
“I would collaborate with Eddie on lyrics and with Brian on melodies. Then Brian and I would go into the studio and produce the actual record although Eddie…

Lamont Herbert Dozier
June 16, 1941 – August 8, 2022
American Songwriter | Record Producer
"At 11, Detroit native Lamont Dozier, who grew up with his strict grandmother, a choir director, wrote a poem, called "A Song," about how music affects the human psyche. His teacher, Edith Burke, posted the poem on the classroom bulletin board at his school, Edgar Allan Poe Elementary. It stayed there for six months. Mr. Dozier credited Ms Burke with sparking his creativity."

_________________________.
Nowhere To Run
Songwriters: Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide
I got nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide
It's not love I'm runnin' from
Just the heartbreak I know will come
'Cause I know you're no good for me (you're no good)
But you've become a part of me
Everywhere I go, your face I see
Every step I take, you take with me, yeah
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me
But free of you, I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon, that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror, to comb my hair
I see your face just a-smilin' there
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, from you baby
I got nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me
But you've become a part of me
How can I fight a love, that shouldn't be?
When it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high, I can't get over it
It's so wide, I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you babe
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try
I know you're no good for me
But free of you, I'll never be
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)
Got nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)

Lamont Dozier Dies at 81
- Songwriter was one-third of Motown’s famed Holland-Dozier-Holland team
Lamont Dozier, one-third of Motown’s famed Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting/production team, has died, his family said.
The “devoted father and legendary songwriter, producer and recording artist” died Aug. 8 of undisclosed causes. He was 81
“We love him dearly and will miss him always,” Dozier’s family said.
Brian Wilson said the team was “responsible for much of the Motown Sound” and recalled the songs they wrote for the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Four Tops and others.
“Ah - God bless Lamont,” Ronnie Wood wrote on Facebook. “His music will live on.”
During their 1962-’67 run at Motown, Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote songs such as “Baby Love,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” “How Sweet it Is” and countless others.
“Lamont was an extremely talented, equally humble and warmhearted pillar for our entire Motown Records family who helped to perfect the label’s sonic influence across generations and cultures to come,” the Motown Museum said in a statement.
“We join his dedicated fans around the world in not only mourning the loss of one of the greatest singers, songwriters and producers of all time, but also a father and husband to his loving family.”
The H-D-H songbook comprises “our eternal R&B hymns,” Paul Shaffer said in a tweet.
Carole King said she and Gerry Goffin looked up to the songwriting team, adding in a tweet: “Striving to keep up with them made us better songwriters.”
Leo Sayer said Dozier was “composer of all my favorite Motown songs;” Paul Stanley remembered him as “one of the architects of the Motown Sound;” and Diane Warren called Dozier “one of the greatest songwriters of all time” in a post on social media.
“Lamont, your songs will live forever and in that way you will live forever,” Warren said.
