to the dawn of recording history. Black artists mostly getting screwed out of royalties. Producers adding their name to the publishing (where the money is), crafting contracts so that studio hours and fees and a zillion other expenses and overheads are never covered by any sales. I think this reached it's apogee in the 40s and 50s especially with the black Doo-Wop and R&B artists probably getting the largest collective bone up the rear of any genre of artist or musicians before or since.
It makes the heartbreaking vocals of Doo-Wop, which I grew up on, even more heartbreaking.
