"How much money did that bring them?

Probably not much. My uncle was an attorney for many of the phantom labels in the Sam Phillips' recording world in Memphis. Dear old Uncle was a sheister's sheister, yet even he was embarrassed at how the artists were sucked dry by layers and layers of production and management fees.

I have always read similar, and the key to money is songwriting royalties. This is why old stars keep touring until they should be retired: they make money performing live, not from old recordings, I gather.
