John Hammond – The Most Influential Music Man of the Twentieth Century
Written by Dennis Munday
John Henry Hammond II (Born Manhattan, New York City, December 15, 1910 - Died Manhattan, New York City, July 10, 1987) was an American talent scout and producer, whose achievements in the record business will never be surpassed. As well as producing several significant American musical icons, he was a civil rights activist, a music critic, a philanthropist, and had a career that spanned six decades. His name is synonymous with Columbia Records (now Sony Records), and with artists from Billie Holliday to Stevie Ray Vaughan.
At the time of writing, this playlist was dedicated to the best new album and EP releases of the first three months of 2018, January to March. Since then there’s been a raft of other great musical discoveries wafting through the door like an aromatic winter draft, but sadly it’s all going to have to go in the reject bin for now until June has passed, after which I may well attempt an April to June list. For now though, you’ll have to make do with this.

Apart from the Rangers songs I'd been brought up on I never really knew there was a music scene unless it was ' I belong to Glasgow ' or ' The Northern lights of old Aberdeen ' sung by drunken aunties and uncles at new year parties, or some Tammy Wynette or Rod Stewart on a Sunday courtesy of my mum.That changed as the Bowhill war memorial club started underage discos playing brutal 80s Stock Aitken & Waterman dross.SOUNDS & VISION - interview with Andrew Loog Oldham on his upcoming new podchat
