I asked what had happened to Eddie Johns in my show on Daft Punk and sampling on @RefugeWorldwide in March. Turns out he struggled with homelessness for more than a decade and hasn& #39;t seen a dime in royalties, he says. Incredible story by @AugustBrown https://twitter.com/latimes/status/1390419430530633729">https://twitter.com/latimes/s...

*he& #39;s not currently homeless, as I stated incorrectly in an earlier tweet.

“I just hope I can get some credit, you know?” Johns told The Times (he is not listed as a songwriter on “One More Time”). He wants his family and the world to know that, whatever else happened to him, his music was important: “I’d like to have something to give to my daughter.”

“I did always wonder if the song was a success or not,” he said. “I went on with my life in another direction. But I wish I had gotten paid. I would have been in a better state of mind. My mother would have been very happy. I always just wanted to impress her.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">
