Did you know that one person was mostly responsible for discovering Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Charlie Christian, Benny Goodman, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many more? Tomorrow on "No Expectations" we will spend the last hour of the show talking about the great writer, producer, record executive, talent scout and champion of integration, John Hammond. And of course we'll be listening to some of the artists that he "discovered", including Side 2 of Bob Dylan's 1962 debut album, (straight off of the vinyl) which Hammond produced.
