Today, in Musical History, December 15th, 1910: Either the best, or the luckiest (or both), talent scout in modern history, John Henry Hammond b. NYC, NY
 

"Best" is probably right; "Lucky" might get you bragging rights for discovering Elvis, or the Beatles - But Hammond's antennae were unusually sensitive, and accurate. He discovered and brought to the world's attention, to name just a few: Aretha Franklin, Benny Goodman, Bob Dylan, Big Joe Turner, Count Basie, Bruce Springsteen, Harry James, Mike Bloomfield, Pete Seeger, Billie Holiday, Charlie Christian, Leonard Cohen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and George Benson. He was a prime mover in rescuing Robert Johnson's meager oeuvre from obscurity, And he was a crucially important civil rights activist. doing as much to promote and introduce integration in the music and recording industry as anybody.

"Young Frankenstein" debuts on this date, 12/15/1974; John Morris wrote the theme and score.

Madeira's version comes from a various-artists Halloween compilation, "Monster Party 2000"

Steven Tyler claims that Aerosmith, taking a break fron recording "Toys IN The Attic", went to the movies and saw "Young Frankenstein" - 

And Igor's "Walk This Way" joke set off a lyric lightbulb in Tyler's head.
