Sister Act is unwatchable today. Has not aged well.
And what does Spotify pay in royalties to the copyright holder(s)? $43 bucks?
And they were paid $63.48 in royalties.
How do they know “My girl” is about a girl? Are they biologists?
But for me, The Temptations greatest achievement is Just My Imagination, which is a work of genius.
That’s what I was hoping they would talk about. These music apps today get away with murder, same with Google and Youtube. They make billions off these songs and they pay a ridiculously low percentage in royalties. I assume they get away with it because of pirating, using the excuse “you can take a fraction of a cent or get nothing through pirating”.
Otis Williams gets all the money. He’s the only one left.
Whoever owns the distribution channel makes the money.
That’s why Netflix has become a major force in content creation.
That’s why major utility systems have sold off their generating capacity. The hold on to the wires, the transformers and switchgear, and the electric meters that generate the customer bills.
That’s why major food brands pay grocery stores for shelf space.
Smokey Robinson gets the money, he wrote the song.
That’s why Chnina pays the cartels?
somebody’s making money off of it.
Oh, that’s right, thanks!
Sam Armstrong must be AI name.....the nuns sing “My God”...to the tune of the song “My Guy”...originally sung by Mary Wells...NOT “My Girl”....a perfect example of today’s brain dead journalists and peeps....
The same man wrote both songs.
For fun...try “Ball of Confusion”, “Cloud Nine”, and Psychedelic Shack”...by the temps...in their “R&B goes hippie” days...
You are right...just my imagination is great...I do like “poppa was a rolling stone”
I didn't know that, but if it's true, yes.
One of the things they teach in business school is "always try to be as close as possible to where the money actually changes hands."
The distribution channel includes the step where the money is physically handed over, from the end customer.
There is typically a songwriter’s royalty, a performer’s royalty, a producer royalty.
Sometimes those are the same person, but often not.
Depends, but they do get paid per play.
When you look at a report of royalty for a period of time, there are amounts coming in from so many countries it is hard to follow. Various sources including streaming platforms, you tube, etc.
