What does everyone think about Clare Torry winning a slice of the Great gig in the sky's royalties. Does her contribution actually deserve a co-composer's credit? Esp. when it was added so many years after the event. I personally think she deserved more than what she initally got but only a % of the album sales as performance royalties which I don't believe she got. She just got a one off payment of £30. Rick should have given her a lot more out of his own pocket really or should have done the decent thing and made sure she got a %. In fact I find it a bit shocking that Floyd, and i don't think it's too strong a word, expolited her. I don't think she deserves a co-composers credit though. If someone gets a co-composers credit for just singing on an already written peice of music then Clarence Clemons for e.g could sue Springsteen for a co-compser credit on Jungleland for his sublime sax solo.
