All accusations aside, the successful Ferre should at least pay the 70% that is owed if not fund the funeral expenses.

What proof is there that he owes the said money and why should he fund the funeral expenses like the guy was his member of staff or relative? Sometimes we need to be serious guys.
The deceased gentleman was one of many composers Ferre probably bought from and it is likely that the guy may have been owed money but he's not there to speak on his behalf or say what happened to him prior to him dying suddenly but whatever the case it's just folly to accuse  a well known musician or expect him to pay for funeral expenses when the contract they had was for supplying of songs.

Not to worry DJ, JB the successful gentleman has agreed to help...

JB the successful gentleman has agreed to help...

Good to hear that JB has stepped in. It's a good move by JB who is known for wasting money on outsiders instead of his own staff, only a minority of his staff enjoy.

unfortunately its like that everywhere almost,even in latino and cultura its only a few who have or had big advantages ,lol you made me laugh with "wasting",he was ask about that and explained  that most of his generous things towards musicians,comedians,journalists... come from his own money from the various business he has and vieux kiss and ficarre are in charge of paying musicians with the group's income(but obviously vieux kiss and ya fifi certianly take advantage of that position lol)
back on topic,i think the songwriters should unite to claim the possibility of getting their rights at socoda,it would avoid a lot of things but then would musicians accept not to be in that position where they can not bully them anymore?i

Ghost writers often get black listed within the music industry especially when they aspire to be musicians themselves. Like the US maybe they can start off by establishing songwriting companies or hire attorneys to secure contracts especially when they sell off the rights to the songs.
