How do songwriters get paid, and how do they get cheated? For years, black writers were kept from services that would help them receive their proper royalties. Yes, the same racism that affected the careers of black recording artists also affected black songwriters.

Black recording artists, who were once shut out of country music, are now helping shape the music's future, and I for one am very happy about that.
