Is Lisa Miller "Little Lisa" who recorded "Hang On Bill" b/w "Puppet On A String" on the VIP label? I thought Little Lisa
was the daughter of one of the Lewis Sisters who also recorded on VIP.

Little Lisa is not Ron Miller's daughter - her mother is Kay Lewis of the Lewis Sisters not Ron's widow Aurora Miller.

OK, it sounded as if the original poster is suggesting Lisa Miller IS Little Lisa. Thanks davie.

That is correct, Lisa Dawn Miller and Little Lisa are NOT the same person. Lisa Dawn Miller was not even born until the mid-sixties. Also, the judge's ruling is different than what was reported here. I will try to get the revised info on SDF. Here's a clip of Lisa's cabaret show tributing her father's work. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag_yJ2mBqVY [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag_yJ2mBqVY)

Would be interesting to read about this; I hope you find it Andy; legal reporting is spotty at best.

From what was written in this report, it sounds like, on it's merits, it would be hard to make this claim and be successful.

Many times we WISH these claims could be successful for the artists/writers involved; but people sign away rights for lump sums all the time; I also think fans believe there is a lot more money involved than there actually is.
