(18,640 posts)43. Might have gotten some few pennies from "My Bonnie,"
But I think the backing band was paid a flat rate on that one. Since it's the only recording he's on with the Beatles (even though Bert Kaempfert called them "The Beat Boys" or some such), it would be the only opportunity he'd have for any royalties.
Lawsuits, on the other hand...
