Some Music History
Something light for my work-addled brain tonight. NY Times has an interesting article about a song we all know…
“In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the loin sleeps tonight…”
Sing it with me:”A-wimoweh A-wimoweh A-wimoweh A-wimoweh…”
As it happens the rights to the song were bought for, well, a song. Music companies repackaged it as artists reworked it, all the while the survivors of the songwriter earned nothing. Now, after 60 years, the family gets paid back. Read about it.
