1482629 2021-12-03 17:39:00 If you know anything about pop music, I’m certain you will have heard of the song writing team Holland/Dozier/Holland. who wrote countless huge US hits for such artists as The Supremes, The Four Tops and Martha and the Vandellas and has, to date, penned 54 global number ones. People praise Lennon and McCartney but even they never had a success rate such as that. As I recall, The Beatles had 20 number ones written by Lennon/McCartney.

1482630 2021-12-03 21:05:00 Yes I really like songs by Holland/Dozier/Holland but The Beatles were great as well.

Here is a link to a series of hits by the Beatles Paul McCartney with him giving insight into the composition.

He must have finished composing now and started decomposing?
