There’s kind of an interesting sidebar with that with regards to publishing rights or song royalties. How much credit do session musicians get towards making a top 10 hit? Oftentimes they came up with catchy fills and riffs and that sort of thing. But I think legally speaking they just get paid regular scale or union wage. Now it’s also true some performers recognize their contributions and are grateful enough to give them a percentage of their royalties.
