Is it true that Rod Stewart doesn't get any Royalties for singing on Python Lee Jackson's 'In A Broken Dream', because he done it as a favour?

That's right. He did it as a favour (not expecting it to be released - he was just recording it as a demo) and his payment was a set of mudflaps for his car.
It was car mats - sorry to be pedantic.

This happens often - session musicians or singers are paid a flat fee for their services, regardless of the income that may arise from a successful record.

A good example is Clare Torrey who sang the fabulous 'Great Gig In The Sky' on 'Dark Side Of The Moon', but only actually got some rolling income for it when she re-recorded it for use in an asprin commercial.
i hardly think hes moaning now !!! mind you we all know how tight he is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
