LC Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Not to be critical, but... I don't think that ad is very effective. It's too "racing thoughts"-ish. Takes so long to get to the point. I'd give it a C-. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof2setsoftwins Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I agree...only I'm only thinking a D-. Perhaps "Leaving on a Jet Plane", would have been a better choice, written by John Denver, performed of course, by Peter, Paul and Mary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Bundles Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Vinnie...not sure if he gets songwriter royalties anymore...He sold the publishing rights a while ago...I assume that performance royalties would still be intact, but they didn’t use his recording...I think that’s how it works... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.k., I found where that number came from. It was an article in MusicBusiness World. That figure was for the entire catalog of artists of which Eric was a part. "Round Hill Music acquired Carlin Music for a sum in the region of $245m in January. It catalog includes songs and/or recordings by the likes of The Beatles, Eddie Holland, Neil Sedaka, The Rolling Stones, The Offspring, Bruno Mars, Cee Lo Green, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Bon Jovi, Steve Perry, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Ella Fitzgerald, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, N Sync, Mötley Crüe, Eric Carmen, Percy Sledge, Warrant, Bush and Katy Perry and many others.Music Business Worldwide." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a high number so if he got this, i do not feel bad about no royalties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Carmen did not receive any of the 245 mill because it was already owned by Carlin music who sold that catalog. Not sure what he got originally by Carlin music. but his net worth is appox 10 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tells me that the catalog Carmen had was previous sold way back and then resold in this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Eric sold his catalog directly to Round Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspathens Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I stand corrected - that did seem like a high figure to me. I should have read more carefully.🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
