By Ethan Millman, Rolling Stone | Peter Frampton has sold his publishing catalog to BMG, the company confirms to Rolling Stone, marking the latest artist to sell their music rights in exchange for a major payout.
The deal includes all of Frampton’s publishing rights (the rights tied to songs’ lyrics and musical compositions). the company says, along with other copyright revenues including neighboring rights. The company declined to disclose how much it paid for Frampton’s catalog.
The deal encompasses Frampton’s lifetime of musical work from his time with The Herd in the 1960s, to Humble Pie in the late 1960s and early Seventies, to his most successful commercial period as a solo artist from the 1970s onward with hits including “Show Me The Way,” “Baby, I Love Your Way,” and “Do You Feel Like We Do.” Frampton’s 1976 live album Frampton Comes Alive! Is one of the most successful live albums of all time, selling over 8 million units and earning a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
“I am so pleased to join the BMG family,” Frampton said in a statement. “As an artist-first company, I trust BMG will care for my legacy and that my songs are in good hands.”
