Pissed off Stevie interview; Can't believe I've never seen this

[skuncles]

The relationship between Mick and Stevie was in fact very real and did happen. As for "Silver Springs" being on "TimeSpace" as was mentioned, it would have made no sense. Stevie does own the song, well her mother owns it, but if she wanted to she could have redone it (as she did in '97). The difference between track and song was also brought up. This is a very easy thing to understand, look at the Beatles for instance. Capitol Records owns all the recorded music of the Beatles. Michael Jackson owns the copyrights to the songs. What this means is if someone wants to put a Beatles song in say a diaper commerical, they have to go thru Michael Jackson, who because he is not making any money these days will allow the advertiser to use the song. You'll note though that it's not the original Beatles version, the reason being that Capitol Records owns the recording and they don't let those out to anyone. So if Stevie wanted to use the original Mac version of "Springs" she would have to go thru the label, if she wanted to redo the song herself, she would just have to get permission to release her updated version. Being the songwriter or owner of the copyrights has it's perks because regardless if it's the recorded track or a new performance you get a cut of the profits. Ask Dolly Parton about "I Will Always Love You", she made a ton from Whitney Houston's recording of the song.
