The Song

What spectacular pitfalls await the unwary songwriter who doesn't pay close attention to the complicated paperwork. Jimmy Merchant and Herman Santiago wrote Why Do Fools Fall in Love? in the 50s, a song that has earned millions of dollars. But one of them drives a taxi cab, and the other is on welfare. Why? Because businessmen were reaping the rewards of the writers' work. Follow the history of the ten-year legal case to its dramatic conclusion.
