Late Prince Just Got Slapped With A Lawsuit, But Is This Fair?
Singer Judith Hill made a name for herself on “The Voice” in 2013. Sony got interested in her. Ditto Jolene Cherry, the famed producer who first eyed Lady Gaga. Sony and Cherry partnered and claim they signed her to an exclusive recording deal.
A
few months ago, Sony and Cherry heard rumblings that Hill was meeting
with Prince for a recording session. They warned her to stop earlier
this month, only to learn that she and Prince recorded an entire album —
11 songs — and released it Monday as a free Internet download.
Cherry
is now going after Prince with a vengeance, courtesy of her lawyer
Larry Stein, asking not only for regular damages but punitive damages
for underhandedness.
