Chuck Berry sues US karaoke firms

Singer Chuck Berry has sued three US karaoke music distributors, claiming 
they sold sing-along versions of his hits without paying royalties.

He seeks several hundred thousand dollars for each of the songs 
including Johnny B Goode and My Ding-A-Ling.

The 79-year-old US rock and roll star names karaoke distributors UAV Corp, 
Madacy Entertainment and Top Tunes Inc in his legal action.

The three US companies were unavailable for comment.

Lesser-known songs

Unlike many recording stars of his era, Berry owns all the publishing rights 
to his songs, his lawyers said.

The singer also claims the firms failed to obtain licences to sell karaoke 
versions of his songs, including the track Maybellene.

Karaoke began in Japan as a nightclub novelty but US karaoke record labels 
generate a total revenue of $50m (£28m) per year, the New York Times estimated.
