Together with Miller, he wrote the song "Release Me" for which he is best known. The song reached number 1 in the UK in a cover by Engelbert Humperdinck.[2] Yount sometimes used the stage name, Bobby Gene.[3][4][5] As they were working with Dub Williams, (a pseudonym for James Pebworth), Miller and Yount gave him one-third of the song.[5] In 1958, Yount signed away his royalty rights to [https://www.discogs.com/artist/710715-WS-Stevenson W.S. Stevenson], better known as William McCall of Four Star Records. After the bankruptcy of Four Star’s successor in interest, the copyright was acquired by Acuff-Ross Music. When the initial term of copyright ended in 1983, it was renewed for a second term. Between 1983 and 1985 Acuff-Rose paid royalties to Yount, until they were notified by the family of the deceased William McCall of the 1958 assignment. Acuff-Rose then suspended payments until the dispute between the claimants was resolved. On December 24, 1996 the United States Courts of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, upheld the claim of the McCalls.[4] Robert Yount died in Oroville, California at the age of 75.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/chicoer/obituary.aspx?n=robert-yount&pid=14461073&fhid=2445|title=Robert Yount's Obituary on Chico Enterprise-Record|website=Chico Enterprise-Record|access-date=2016-03-12}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Yount, Robert}}2. ^{{cite book|author=Jon Kutner|title=1000 UK Number One Hits|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BwwLBaH9488C&pg=PT312|date=26 May 2010|publisher=Omnibus Press|isbn=978-0-85712-360-2|pages=312–3}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1660|title=Release Me (and Let Me Love Again) by Engelbert Humperdinck Songfacts|website=www.songfacts.com|access-date=2016-03-12}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1277387.html|title=Yount v.
