Foreigner's Gramm Sues To End Publishing Deal
A publishing company operated by Foreigner vocalist and principal songwriter Lou Gramm has sued Screen Gems-EMI Music and Colgems-EMI Music, seeking an end to a 15-year-old administration deal. The action, filed Thursday in Supreme Court in New York, alleges that the 1985 agreement between Stray Notes
Music Inc. and the EMI Music firms amounts to "penal servitude." The fulfillment of the deal's terms purportedly hinges on the release of a Foreigner album on a major label; the suit claims that the once-popular band has unsuccessfully sought a new major-label deal for the past six years. An EMIspokesperson did not return a call seeking comment.
