The Court -- & the parties involved agree that Great Gig is a Richard Wright AND a Clare Torry song (Wright did NOT guide the vocals that virtually define the performance0.
@leahcim3360 If this is one of the best songs on her album I don't care to hear the lesser efforts. As a session musician you are hired to play on and embellish songs etc co writing credit for doing your job? bullshit ! Wright needed a better lawyer!
The band and Alan Parsons failed to get a good contract with Clare Torry...so, she was able to sue. Had they defined her role as a session musician in writing, she would not have been able to sue. She certainly deserved more than 100 bucks, but co writer? Well, I'd leave that up to Richard Wright. It's his song.
I'm gonna sue Pink Floyd because The Dark Side of the Moon made me want to get really stoned and reflective, after all, I was very impressionable way back then. It's all THEIR fault.
In all seriousness. I am currently involved in a lawsuit with Pink Floyd currently as I provided the coughing in the audience on the live album. I coughed strategically to enhance Gilmours guitar and haven't seen a penny. I will never work with those thieving bastards again as I felt my contribution made that album what it was. I think it's only right I get my millions too!
@apocatie34 :I think she went into the studio, recorded The great gig in the sky,they paid her 30 pounds and she went on her way.Years later someone said to her ,hang about, the album sold 10 squillion copies, you should have got some royalties.
@stickstam It's true, just google it. :) I think it was because they only payed her a 100 bucks to come in and didn't give her royalty money for being on the album.

I sued Pink Floyd in 2005 too. I dont know what for, but it seemed like a trend at the time. The judge told me to fuck off and get a life.
I played tambourine on The Wall, but was cut out of the mix. Pissed, I was, pissed! All that hard work jangling away in a sound booth. Dang nabbit!

1967 apparently. A slightly updated Alma Cogan at that stage. Quite the move to her magnificent vocals on Floyd's GGITS.
