Founded by the late Howie Richmond, who also established the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. From its beginnings TRO made a specialty of claiming authors' rights (often under pseudonymns) to music already in the public domain, a practice permitted by copyright law. Richmond/TRO holds publishing rights for Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, The Weavers, Lonnie Donnegan. A Wikipedia article on The Richmond Organization existed but was deleted in 2007 because there were no cross references to it. However wiki references do exist in articles on "Wimoweh", "Kisses Sweeter than Wine", and "We Shall Overcome".
- TRO's history was discussed in a Rolling Stone article by Rian Malan about the song writer Solomon Linda, who received no money for his world-wide hit, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" / "Wimoweh" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimoweh, a hit for the Weavers that subsequently made millions for Disney when used in the cartoon movie, The Lion King. TRO had transferred the publishing rights to Abilene Music (while keeping the authors' credits). Milan's article was the basis for a South African documentary A Lion's Trail by François Verster that documented the song's history. Screened by PBS, in September 2006, the documentary won an Emmy Award. In July 2004, the song became the subject of a lawsuit between the family of its writer Linda and Disney. The suit claimed that Disney owed $1.6 million in royalties for the use of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in the film and stage production of The Lion King. Meanwhile, publisher of The Weavers' "Wimoweh", TRO/Folkways, began to pay $3000 annually to Linda's heirs.
