We'll transport you up there on a ship
:56:04
Bring the wife and kids
:56:07
Fun for all
:56:10
Yippee
:56:12
The owner of the place
finally gave me a two-week run.

:56:17
He had me open for John Lee Hooker.
:56:18
Well, it don't seem to me quite so funny
:56:21
What some of these people
are gonna do for money

:56:24
There's a brand new gimmick every day
:56:26
Just to take somebody's money away
:56:29
I didn't really feel like
I was making a step forward anywhere.

:56:31
Things were taking its natural course.
:56:35
Now, November 4,
Bob Dylan will be singing.

:56:39
And that should be a very eventful occasion.
:56:41
Bob was born in Duluth, Minnesota...
:56:43
but, Bob, you weren't raised
in Duluth, were you?

:56:46
I was raised in Gallup, New Mexico.
:56:48
And did you get many songs there?
:56:50
Got a lot of cowboy songs there.
Indian songs.

:56:53
Well, I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:56:55
I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:56:57
I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:56:59
I'm gonna get you, Sally gal
:57:01
I didn't start to have any ambition
until I started working more and more.

:57:04
I wondered how people recorded.
I wondered how you get to do that.

:57:08
There were always talent scouts
in the clubs.

:57:12
No one had ever spoken to me directly
about making any records...

:57:15
so I just assumed they'd passed on me.
:57:22
The most important new vocal personality
of recent years:

:57:26
Johnny Mathis, who vaulted over
a Columbia microphone to stardom.

:57:35
I always looked for songs that had
a kind of excellence, lasting quality...

:57:38
and artists who produced
a beautiful sound with their voice.

:57:42
From 1953, I was a head of A&R
at Columbia.
