My Father was a recording artist (singer) from the 1950's until his death in 1976. His name was Dick Roman. I did an internet search of his name last night, and to my horror, I discovered that his songs are being sold as mp3s and ringtones! I also saw a British (I think) CD compilation that features one of his songs. There might be more- I'm afraid to look!
My Mother and I have received no money from any of his recordings probably since the 1970's. My Mom got an insurance check from AFTRA after my Father's death, and a few years after his death a royalty check from an Australian airing of an episode of The Tonight Show, on which my Father appeared. That's basically it.
I've sent emails to AFTRA and a couple other unions (ASCAP and AGVA), as well as the RIAA but is there something else I should be doing?
Please help!
Much thanks in advance.
