Kobalt to administer John Denver catalogue Stateside
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 24 March 2015
Everyone’s favourite copyright administrator – oh, and super-cool tech start up and saviour of music, apparently – Kobalt has only gone and signed on the dotted line to administer the catalogue of John Denver in the US. If only the great man himself hadn’t gone and died, he’d have really loved that data processing system.
Confirming the deal, Kobalt Music Group President Richard Sanders told reporters: “We feel extremely privileged to be able to work with the Denver Estate and help bring John’s music to a new audience. His gift for songwriting sees his music continue to resonate with both new and old fans, and with record sales in the millions his legacy lives on”.
Meanwhile, speaking for the John Denver Estate – which, presumably, really does care about quick and transparent royalty reporting – Brian Schwartz and Amy Abrams said in a statement: “We’re excited to be working with this forward-thinking and technologically advanced company to continue John’s legacy”.
