I have a vivid memory of an article in Billboard that said she sold the rights for a paltry 5 million. Somewhere in the 90's. But I cannot find a single article online about it. I know it was a very low number. Maybe 5. 7. Or 8. Not double digits. I recall thinking I could have ganged up with a few friends and bought her songs. It was not a big number. I was horrified.
