Bob Dylan’s  debut studio album was produced by Columbia talent
scout John H. Hammond, who had earlier signed Dylan to the label,
a decision which was at the time controversial. The album primarily features folk standards, but also includes two original compositions, "Talkin’ New York" and "Song to Woody". The latter was an ode to Woody Guthrie, a major influence in Dylan’s early career.

The album did not initially receive much attention, but it achieved
some popularity following the growth of Dylan’s career, charting
in the UK three years after its release, reaching #13.

On February 10, 2014, Shirley Temple Black, who as a child in
the 1930s became one of Hollywood’s most successful stars,
died at her Woodside, California, home at age 85. The plucky,
curly-haired performer sang, danced and acted in dozens of
films by the time she was a teen; as an adult, she gave up
making movies and served as a U.S. diplomat 

The cause of death, according to her death certificate released
on March 3, 2014, was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Temple was a lifelong cigarette smoker but avoided
displaying her habit in public because she did not want to set
a bad example for her fans.
