Sad part is my cousins just got paid a lump sum and the record went on to sell millions.

I don't think the band wound up with too much either, considering the contracts of the time. The Outsiders did three albums, but Time was the only hit. Superb material.

Session men, which your cousins were likely considered, at least got paid for their work. Usually the actual writers and band performers got butkis in comparison.

At least The Outsiders were signed to Capitol, instead of Epic, like their contemporaries The Remains. Now that's a Boston disaster if I ever read one.
