In a recent development, a feud over the ‘Que Sera, Sera’ song royalties was settled by a federal judge in Tennessee. The musical piece, penned by an Oscar-winning songwriter, had become the apple of discord between the songwriter’s granddaughter and her mother.
The contention was around the splitting of the song’s royalties, a matter decided by a probate court over two decades prior. According to the judge’s recommendation, the granddaughter should have held on to the meaning of the song itself, accepting ‘whatever will be, will be’ instead of raising the dispute.
