Being that most of our heroes came from pretty poor backgrounds and found that they had a talent for music that could lift them, did any of them ever make any real money??
Obviously I'm excluding the real rare stuff that sold 1 copy or less.
I'm thinking more along the lines of The Dells , Jackie Wilson, Four Tops etc people that had some pretty sizable hits along the way.
As its fairly well known that label owners and managers during the 60's and beyond were quite ,err, "shrewd" businessmen.
Just curious
