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

[eugene hayhoe]

Forget ''the law.'' 

Seems to me that a man known for giving away Cadillacs 'could have seen that Crudup got a few.'   

And on the topic of Crudup, there's a profile and video clips here:

It's said within what I've read before, that Presley was involved with the Fire recordings Crudup made, but I'm not vouching for that one way or the other.

 "But within copyright law, Elvis
 should have paid royalties to Crudup."My understanding is
 that in the '40s Crudup sold songs to Lester Melrose (Wabash
 Music, which was later acquired by Hill and Range) for a
 flat rate, and later he wished he hadn't. If so, what does
 that have to do with Elvis?Joseph Scott
