NPR's Morning Edition; Frank Foster, Jazz Saxophonist And Arranger, Has Died:
"Foster had given away many of his publishing rights in youthful ignorance, which deprived him of substantial royalty payments over the years.
Last year, a team from Rutgers School of Law helped him win back his rights to collect royalties for his compositions, including "Shiny Stockings." Now, the family Frank Foster worried about for so many years will finally be able to collect on the fruits of his legacy.
