Recording artists and musicians are fighting for their right to collect royalties from AM and FM radio stations.
The American Music Fairness Act would require AM/FM radio stations to pay royalties to musicians and vocalists.
Currently, only songwriters are paid royalties by radio stations.
Five-time Grammy Award-winning Singer Dionne Warwick says the recently unveiled legislation should have happened when Frank Sinatra brought the issue to congress 60 years ago and that it’s flat-out procrastination on politicians’ part.
Warwick joined Roland Martin during Tuesday’s edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered to discuss the ongoing fight artists and musicians are waging to secure royalties from AM and FM radio stations.
