    I know her royalties are sitting nice with Missy Elliot revitalizing it. Supa Dupa Fly is a classic. The way Missy and Timbaland sampled it was dope. Ann was really ahead of her time with this.

      *I hope so!*
      Next, I bought her I an't Stand The Rain album on vinyl *twice* and both times they were warped. The only song on the album that skipped was the one on the title.
      I'm only mentioning this because of the royalties. Along with they're re-releasing her album(s) and leaving folks livid AF! She's probably not even getting paid for the re-releases.
      Anyway, other than that. Her entire album makes me cry 😢 😭! If your album doesn't move me *trash* 🗑.

      It all depends on her contract. Some artists--for example--are contract employees. They get a paycheck weekly, bi-weekly, monthly. They get this same amount regardless of how well or bad their singles albums do. However, the contract can be anything both parties agree to and is long as it doesn't conflict with local and federal laws. So it is all about what is agreed to. Nonetheless, I hope she negotiated ongoing earnings for her work.

When the song came on, I was the only person in the theater to yell out Ann Peebles name. The next thing I knew, everyone had their phones out Googling her and that song. It's amazing how good music never dies. Troubles, Heartaches, And Sadness is from 1972... 50 years ago... And is STILL a fantastic song sang by a fantastic singer. Thank you Ms. Peebles 🥰
