^*The name of Melvin Dummar was also spelled incorrectly, “DuMar.” In subsequent legal proceedings, Dummar testified that during the winter of 1975-76, a woman author of children’s books stayed at his home one night when her car broke down. When the conversation turned to his failure to interest publishers in his music, Dummar said, the author suggested that he change the spelling of his name to “DuMar” because “it sounded more sophisticated” and might help sell his songs.
