Description
This is a rare opportunity to collect publishing royalties from music by legendary funk master George Clinton. Known as one of the foremost innovators of funk music, Clinton's career spans over half a century as a singer, songwriter, bandleader, and record producer. Clinton's impact doesn't stop there. His influence also crosses over into hip-hop through his collaborations with other artists, and his infectious beats have made him one of the most sampled artists of all time.
Up for auction is 100% of the seller's interest in the publisher's share of public performance royalties for a catalog of 59 songs by George Clinton. In the last 12 months, this asset generated $1,549 in royalties.
The catalog is highlighted by Clinton's collaborations with Tupac on “Can't C Me,” and Too $hort on “It's a Cold Day (The Funk Wit U Mix).” “Can't C Me” is from Tupac's last album released in his lifetime--All Eyez on Me. Many of the other songs in the catalog are from Clinton's “Family Series” albums. The Family Series consist of recordings from various bands that Clinton was associated with. Now you can earn money every time one of these 59 songs is played on the radio, streamed, used in a TV show that airs, or any other type of public performance.
