Subject: RE: eyes on the prize lyrics?
Good question, Lisa. I checked the source and added it to the post above. Yes, the book Sing For Freedom says it was copyrighted by Alice Wine in 1963 and 1965.
Trouble is, if you go to www.bmi.com and check "keep your eyes on the prize," "eye on the prize," and "eyes on the prize," you'll see that there is a maze of copyright claims. So, does anybody deserve to receive royalties?
