Thus, whether he paid them or not (many said they never got anything), he
still owed them a penny per record sold.

That's the composer of the song, which is different than the session
musicians who recorded the song.  There are royalties paid to
composers/authors, and there are, in some countries, other royalties paid to
performers for their performance.  If you did both, then you collect from
two different agencies.
