(MUSIC.) PENNIMAN, RICHARD WAYNE, “LITTLE RICHARD.”
A.T.V.
PAY LITTLE RICHARD.
White placard, printed in large, bold black letters, 22 x 14
inches.
Los Angeles,
[400/600]
A placard carried in a protest against SONY-ATV, who were using Little Richard’s and many
other performers material in their ATV catalog without paying the songwriters royalties. Little
Richard, like many other black songwriter/performers was not being paid what he was actually
earning. While “Tutti Frutti, “Long Tall Sally” and other hits were earning Little Richard a
ton of money, he was being given around $200 a week by his agent/manager. He didn’t sus-
pect anything was wrong because he’s never seen so much money.
