Richie was/is well paid for all the work he put in as " Bon Jovi Consigliere"
I've read several times that Dolly Pardon made more from I Will Always Love You than Whitney. If you write the song & perform, double cha ching.
For me, the level of his contribution makes him not being there all the more of a sting. Now, all respect to David & Tico - hard working music men, so not meaning to diminish their part.
Where I used to work, we had to pay a monthly fee to ASCAP because we broadcast music over our system and the public could listen (on site only), but we were broadcasters. We had Nothing to do with the music/entertainment industry.
