Paul Simon has become the latest music star to cash in on their songbook, selling his catalogue to Sony for an undisclosed sum.
Announcing the deal, Simon said: “I’m pleased to have Sony Music Publishing be the custodian of my songs for the coming decades. I began my career at Columbia/Sony Records and it feels like a natural extension to be working with the Publishing side as well.” Jon Platt, Sony Music Publishing’s chief executive, said it was an “incredible honour”.
