1000 songs written. Many of them big hits performed by others. That’s a lot of royalties.
I remember a radio interview with him. He was still living with his parents when he sold his first hit song. He came home one day and his mom handed him his first royalty check. He was excited to see that it was $5000. His mom told him to look again. It was $50,000.
He said he decided right then that he wasn’t going to college.
