Forgive me if this post is a little outdated, as I've been moving and
have been trying to keep up with the P2 digests. But, OK, something's wrong
here. You mean Aretha Franklin, or the Temptations, or Ray Charles, or James
Brown isn't on the list? What's going on ... is it a case of poor accounting
methods up until the 1960s? Or are the record companies as scummy as we think
they are? I simply refuse to believe those artists haven't sold more than 20
million units in their careers.
