Legendary recording artist Dionne Warwick, a five-time Grammy Award winner, says "flat out procrastination" of politicians on Capitol Hill over many years is the main reason why recording artists and musicians still do not collect royalties from AM/FM radio.

Songwriters, not musicians or vocalists, are paid royalties for the music played on AM/FM radio.
