Short story:

American music trade publication Billboard magazine reports that, following threats of legal action, jazz saxophonist Illinois Jacquet is to be given a co-writing credit and share in the profits of the songs Black Velvet and Doncha Go Away Mad. Jacquet wrote the songs with Jimmy Mundy but, when they were published by Advance Music, Jacquet's name had been omitted from the credits.
