The label enjoyed two million selling singles in the US back in 1970 - 'Give Me Just a Little More Time' by Chairmen of the Board and Freda Payne's 'Band of Gold'.
Holland-Dozier-Holland launched a third label called Music Merchant via Buddah Records in 1972 and signings included former Motowner Brenda Holloway, the Jones Girls and Eloise Laws, but the label found no commercial success and folded the following year.
In 1973, when Hot Wax collapsed due to cash flow problems from lack of royalty payments, Lamont Dozier left for a solo career and the Holland brothers moved their remaining artists to Invictus.

Lamont Dozier died August 8, 2022 aged 81
