These Are The Songwriters Who Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank

Jerry Garcia – $40 million

Greatest Hits: Sugaree, Truckin’
The San Francisco born artist enjoyed around three decades in the music industry alongside his incredible band. The man cycled through various bands in his time, as well as enjoying plenty of albums on his own. Garcia was also a sensational guitarist, earning the 13th spot on the “100 Greatest Guitarists” list by Rolling Stones magazine. Grateful Dead fans will know Garcia for his songwriting provisions for the rock band, as well as his psychedelic rock-fueled inspirations. Truckin’ was one of the songs where his improvised guitar solos really shone, something that would allow the artist blow off some steam.
