Edward James Holland Jr. (born October 30, 1939) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer.
[4] Although he was an early Motown artist who recorded minor hit singles such as "Jamie",[5] he started working behind the scenes due to stage fright.
He was a member of Holland–Dozier–Holland, the songwriting and production team responsible for much of the Motown Sound and hit records by Martha and the Vandellas, The Supremes, The Four Tops, and The Isley Brothers, among others.
[7] Holland has been involved in several civil court cases regarding tax, loans, and music rights, in 1985, 1988, 1996, 2017, and 2020.
[8][9][10][11][12] In 2019, Eddie (along with brother Brian and Dave Thompson) co-authored an autobiography of Holland-Dozier-Holland, entitled "Come and Get These Memories", named after the hit single by Martha and the Vandellas.
