Sept 24-Sept 25 pretax earnings from dead people; Forbes annual report, every #Halloween.
I take issue with them not explaining that Elvis was not a #songwriter but a thief: he forced #lyricists & #composers to sign over to him half of their #rights, or he wouldn't record the #song. Dolly famously said No, I'll try to find which song it was. Elvis wouldn't be on this list if he had any character. (They discuss MJ's character.)

Recently, I've started to pay more attention to the #lyricists and other personnel listed on the #music I listen to, and I am learning about a vast pool of #musicians I've never heard of. For example, many of the songs on #BonnieRaitt 's first album were written by #Black people. Can the industry do a better job of acknowledging everyone's contributions? Maybe #DJ s should mention songwriters and soloists when announcing #bands and #vocalists ?
