I doubt seriously Jim would have ever wanted to see Ray get rich off "Welcome To My World" and falsely claim credit for it, while the man who was responsible for it -- Mr. McDuff -- was ripped off. Jim was far more honorable than that. And he went to bat for songwriters, such as he did when Fabor Robison tried to cheat Johnny Russell (who wrote "In A Mansion Stands My Love") out of royalties. Jim called up Fabor in Johnny presence and chewed him out rather colorfully and demanded Robison send Johnny a check, which he did.
