4.0 out of 5 stars The Genius of Dozier Is Explored, April 26, 2010

This review is from: The Legendary Soul Master (Audio CD)

He is a third of arguably the most prolific and successful songwriting team ever, but as a recording artist, Lamont Dozier never really hit it big. This collection is a combination of two LPs--"Black Bach" (one of my ten best LPs of the 70's) and "Out Here On My Own"--an album known for the singles "Fish Ain't Bitin'" and "Trying to Hold On To My Woman."
Here we see not only a true master musician, but a poet who serves up a combo platter of funk ("Put Out My Fire") to a smidgen of C & W ("Let Me Start Tonight"), a side order of balladry ("Let Me Make Love To You"); "I Wanna Be With You"), and a dessert of spellbinding storytelling in "Rose."
Dozier is every bit a central architect of soul music as is James Brown, Willie Mitchell, Gamble and Huff and Motown's stable of geniuses.
For a clearer picture of Dozier's brilliance, I suggest listening to his self-titled CD "Lamont," 1980's "Working On You" and his late-70's CDs "Bittersweet" and "Peddlin' Music On The Side."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Quiet Mastermind of Soul, April 16, 2008

I must say that people have been dancing and grooving to his music for years. He and the Holland Brothers never get the respect like Smokey or Norm Whitfield.

This disc is a testimony of how his slient soul was the backbone of H-D-H of the sixties into the early 70's. My dad wore the hell out of "Black Bach," his second solo album that's featured on this compilation. Singles like "All Cried Out," "Fire," and "Thank You For The Dream" are stellar songs with dynamic arrangements. You'll understand what he's thinking musically once you get through the first four songs on the disc.

I paid $30.00 for this import brand-new six years ago, and don't regret it not one bit. For those who love classic soul and Lamont Dozier, this is a must have.
