Holland, along with Lamont Dozier, served as the team's musical arranger and producer.
Holland, Dozier and Holland aren't the first artists to sue Gordy over royalties, but their legal dispute is the longest.
Holland, Dozier and Holland created their own record labels, Invictus and Hot Wax, in the early 1970s and produced hits for Freda Payne ("Band of Gold"), Chairmen of the Board ("Give Me Just a Little More Time") and Honey Cone ("Want Ads"), but eventually split up.
