[78-L] Rock & Roll rising (was: Escott, was Arnold Covey)

[eugene hayhoe]

The story of Crudup waiting at the RCA offices to sign and FINALLY get royalties for his RCA recordings of the 1940s and '50s, only to find that RCA had changed its mind about paying him is heartbreaking.

Crudup's story starts on page 27 of this link:

I saw him perform once at Michigan State University in the very early 1970s, presented by the student organization Mariah, which put on LOTS of great shows in the 1970s.

 Okay, if you think so - that's a
 matter of opinion and taste.
 
 But within copyright law, Elvis should have paid royalties
 to 
 Crudup.  So as for the quote of Jackie Wilson, I
 maintain that Crudup 
 probably would have disagreed.
