Disclaimer: I ave never so much as bought one
item of music product made by Alabama. I have
played the songs as required, and they ain't
that bad.
I don't care what you say - Randy Owen is one of
the best-selling writers who ever lived. They had
21 gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums, 42
number one singles and over 73 million records
sold. I'd guess that at well north of half a billion
in retail sales, and possibly close to that in
royalties.
I don't know of any multiplatinum seller who
hasn't had a plagarism case. I am totally unfamiliar
with the works in question, but it's part of being
successful.
