Mary Martin Died


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.

Mary Martin and Sound of Music are one of My Favorite Things!

That’s 2 things...😀

Wow, what a childhood memory of the one and only Peter Pan. Think she passed about 1990? 

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!
