Record companies have been screwing artists for years.

Jim Croce, Billy Joel, and TLC are all stunning examples of top talent who got virtually nothing in exchange for years of platinum albums.

One of the better artists that record companies screwed was a guy named Jerry Riopelle. His album "Take a Chance" was a wonderful work, but ABC wouldn't market him.
