The Lion Sleeps Very Well Tonight Knowing That Millions Are On The Way

I didn’t know there was a court battle involving THE GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN. I did know, however, that Solomon Linda wrote it but is not credited in most cases. This floors me:

“In the 1950s, at a time when apartheid laws robbed blacks of negotiating rights, Linda sold worldwide copyright to Gallo Records of South Africa for 10 shillings — less than $1.70.”

Nice to see things being turned right.
