Licensing and Copyright Information
All of Van McCoy's songs written prior to 1978 have been renewed and are in the final term of copyright. We are U.S. Publisher for the Next of Kin Renewal Claimants for the duration of copyright protection. We can furnish information on foreign rights status for all of Van's songs, and master rights owner information on most.
Songs written in 1978 and 1979 are listed separately for your information. They will be reclaimed at the end 35 years of copyright. Until that time those songs are co-published worldwide with Warner Chappel Music.
We are always ready to assist with your licensing needs. We will work late to meet your deadline, and your emergency song clearance crunch will become our priority. We license Van's music for Sampling projects subject to lyric approval (see policy below). Let us prove that we have "Songs for Every Project and Budget." Contact our license officer as follows: Email: vammilicenses@aol.com.

Lyrics Policy
We support the Hip Hop, Rap and other contemporary genres and respect the talent of many of its performers. Our opposition is with some of the lyrics and not with the form of artistry. Our policy on lyric approval is as follows: - We will not license Van's music for a song that denigrates or dishonors women, uses profane or sexually explicit language, advocates or promotes violence, or insults any race or group of persons. Van wrote hundreds of songs and could sing any of them for his parents and beloved grandmother without apology. We are preserving his legacy, not perverting his music. To this end, we will uphold the standard Van set for his own catalogue of works. With this as a guide, we welcome all genres.
Note- Don't miss the Hustle rap in our website intro.

Van McCoy Catalogue of songs
It is our fondest hope that you find this presentation of Van's vast body of works a musical joy and delight. Our mission is to house on this website a complete listing of his songs and a music sound bite of each song for which we can find a recording. To this end we solicit the help of Van McCoy Fans and Collectors throughout the world.
If you know of a McCoy song title that is not listed here, or if you have a recorded copy (any format) of a song that has no sound bite, please share the information with us. Contact us as follows: Email: mccoymedia@aol.com
