She was music executive. Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Emmylou Harris, The Band, Keith Urban, Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill were all championed and otherwise had their careers helped by her.
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.
