This week in 1979, the Pink Floyd single “Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #26
(December 1)
"Part 2" of the three-part composition "Another Brick in the Wall", from Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera “The Wall”, written by bass player Roger Waters was released as a single, Pink Floyd's first in the UK since "Point Me at the Sky" (1968).
It sold over four million copies worldwide, was nominated for a Grammy Award and was #384 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Bass player Roger Waters wrote "Part 2" as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools, and engineer Nick Griffiths recorded children singing the verse at Islington Green School, close to Pink Floyd's studio, which was a big part of the charm of the song.
In exchange for performing vocals, the children of Islington School received tickets to a Pink Floyd concert, an album, and a single.
Though the school received a payment of £1,000, there was no contractual arrangement for royalties for the children, but following a change to UK copyright law in 1996, they became eligible for royalties from broadcasts.
After royalties agent Peter Rowan traced the choir members, they successfully lodged a claim for royalties with the Performing Artists' Media Rights Association in 2004.
The single was a worldwide hit, going to #1 in the US, the UK and 13 other countries.
