A session drummer, Joseph Roderick Jr., has filed a $15 million lawsuit in Arizona against the singer-composer Bill Joel for rights in the song You May Be Right, dating back to 1979. Roderick seeks ‘all performance, mechanical royalties, publishing and sales, which includes: television, motion pictures, radio, social media, internet sales, anywhere the song ‘You May Be Right’ has been played, and future royalties as long as the song is being played and performed’.
He says: ‘Hearing the song ‘You May Be Right’ on the radio and elsewhere is not just a slap in the face, but it’s like getting slapped with a semi truck day in and day out’.
