Five Per Cent For Nothing, Roy Flynn
( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that after Yes complained about their former manager Roy Flynn getting "Five per Cent for Nothing", he said he got nothing? Source: "He relinquished his management role, negotiating a deal with the management company, Hemdale, that allowed him to retain five per cent of the band’s earnings in recognition of his efforts on their behalf. Yes were not happy, even recording a track called Five Per Cent For Nothing for their Fragile album ... A two-year court battle followed with Hemdale, with Flynn claiming he was not being paid. With his legal bills mounting, he reportedly settled out of court for $150,000." Oxford Mail, 11 March 2010

Very well written and comprehensive articles (especially the one about a 35-second instrumental!) QPQs done, no copyvios detected, gave the articles light copy-edits. Interesting hook; "But Flynn saw no money from the deal he had made" in the Flynn article needs a citation directly after that sentence (WP:DYKCRIT). Should be good to go afterward.

Done Still can't believe we go with this capitalization of the title ... has Yes used that other than that one YouTube page? For all we know that could have been written by some flunky and not reviewed by anyone connected with the band. The SoundCloud page, for one, also an official account, uses the same capitalization I did, the one that's been used since it was first released AFAIK. Daniel Case (talk) 20:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Good to go. (I was originally going to keep the per capitalized, as most print sources only make the for lowercase in running text... Per technically is a preposition, and the MOS dictates that prepositions four characters or less stay lowercase for titles of works, but I suppose we can defer to WP:COMMONNAME.)
