Battles between musicians and their record labels are practically as old as the music industry itself. In some cases, early artists set a precedent by taking their labels to court, often leading to irreparable damage to their own careers while also helping to pave the way for future musicians to be treated and compensated more fairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erroll Garner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first musician to ever sue their record label and win was jazz pianist Erroll Garner, who took Columbia Records to court for breaking his contract in 1960, after the label released old recordings Garner hadn\u2019t authorized. After his win, Garner was awarded a cash settlement, as well as the return of his masters, and Columbia agreed to recall and destroy the records released without his permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Gracie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Gracie was an early pioneer of rock music who inspired members of The Beatles with his chart-topping hits in the ’50s\u2014but his career stalled after he realized he wasn\u2019t being paid as much as should have been and sued his label, Cameo Records. The two parties settled out of court, but Gracie was blacklisted from the industry as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beatles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2005, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison, sued EMI for $53.1 million in unpaid royalties<\/a>. And it wasn’t the first time\u2014in the late \u201880s, the band’s Apple Records sued EMI and claimed the label had secretly sold or given away millions of records to stores.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courtney Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After Courtney Love<\/a>‘s label, \u00a0Vivendi Universal Music Group, sued her in 2000 over five undelivered albums from her band, Hole, Love countersued, arguing the contract was \u201cimpossible to perform and hopelessly one-sided.\u201d Love also claimed Hole was only paid $2 million in royalties, despite earning $40 million in album sales. The two parties ultimately reached a settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Young<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1983, Neil Young’s label, Geffen Records, was so displeased with the new music he delivered that they decided to sue\u2014they claimed the sound was “musically uncharacteristic of [Young’s] previous recordings,\u201d essentially arguing it didn\u2019t sound enough like Neil Young. He countersued, arguing his contract awarded him artistic freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Dre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2011, rapper Dr. Dre took Death Row Records to court over unpaid royalties dating back to when he left the label in 1996 and a digital release of his 1992 album The Chronic<\/em>. A judge ultimately ruled in his favor, arguing the label had violated the terms of his contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
