The estate of late funk singer Rick James has settled a lawsuit that claimed a music publishing company collected money from licensing his songs without permission. The estate's attorney, Jennifer J. McGrath, announced the settlement in court Thursday. Trial had been set to begin Jan. 7.
Dozens of James' compositions, though not his biggest hit "Super Freak," were involved in the suit filed in March in Superior Court.
It accused California-based Brooklyn Music Publishing Group Inc. of collecting money from European music publishers and making new foreign deals without authority.
