Mary Martin Died

Is it that hard to imagine there's was more than one person with the name Mary Martin?  I'm referencing the one who convinced Bob Dylan to take on Ronnie Hawkin's backup band as his own.

Well music executives may be important in promoting (and more notoriously exploiting) recording artists but as music fans we don't remember them, whereas the performer Mary Martin will live on via her recordings forever.

Agree with mahler123. who give a fudge about big bosses and prodoocerz unless they are real artists?

I recall the story of Leonard Cohen getting really stripped off his wealth by such so-called big bosses and he went on concert literally standing on his knees, because legs would not hold him strong anymore!

RIP 🙏

Mary Martin convinced fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen to not go to Nashville and instead stay in NYC.  She then introduced his songs to Judy Collins who then recorded several and Cohen then went on to sign with John Hammond at Columbia records.  Much later in his career Mr. Cohen was defrauded by his long term business manager, someone not named Mary Martin.

Why some people want to denigrate an influential, loved and respected individual on their death is beyond my comprehension.  It says something about them, not about Mary Martin.
