I've learned the hard way, just because someone is a great singer does not make him someone special, though some of them feel that way. I thought by helping them financially get started that they would appreciate it and work hard to at least get my money back, but they often take the attitude that they are doing me a favour and want to take all the money from sales. So I'd drop them and they'd fall flat on their face. I have found a way to get my material heard and I'm making good returns without much investment and I don't have to put up with over inflated egos of singers that think they are God's gift to music. He who laughs last laughs best.
