You see K - I was the 5th member of 10cc; found them, named them, broke them into a huge success. As a result I reckon I deserve a small percentage reward in perpetuity. But not the lion's share - that they deserve, for writing and creating the music. Likewise, whilst I named, encouraged, taught and inspired Genesis, I failed to break them and therefore decided I didn't deserve a share of their reward when they succeeded (even though I helped them and, in return, own all their early work which I produced and paid for). I actually wrote and created such things as Everyone's Gone To The Moon, It's Good News Week, Johnny Reggae - and deserve the lion's share of money earned by them. I was artistically a huge part of the success of Hooked On A Feeling, It Only Takes A Minute and others so deserve a nice regular income in perpetuity but my involvement was less than that of the original writers. Someone like J Lo who simply sang along with the new version deserves little more than a session fee. |

Nothing noble about it K - I'm lucky enough to be a writer as well as a producer and singer; so I've done fine. I just reckon it's the writers who should be most rewarded. |

Very noble of you to say, hope people like Spotify read this forum and take note! |

No it doesn't bother me much K - I did very nicely from my original hit version, thank you. Like Hooked On A Feeling, the people who really deserve to profit from it are the writers. |

Have you made it known to them (other than on here)? |
