[78-L] Copyright Criminals on PBS - Clyde Stubblefield

[Tim Huskisson]

Morally and legally I agree with you. But the irony is nobody had even heard
of Clyde Stubblefield until samples of his playing started appearing on
other artist's records. James Brown rarely gave album credits to his band
members.

Mr. Stubblefield and his fellow drummer with JB, Jabo Starks, have been
legends for many years in other, more contemporary musical circles. 
 
What I consider Brown's best known work, c. 1965-'69, was mostly cut with
one or both of them on the drums. No surprise to me at all that he's among
the most sampled. Sure seems to me that, morally, if not legally, he should
get some cash out of others profiting from his work. Haven't had a chance to
see the doc yet.
