A bunch of these 'artists' are talented and hardworking, BUT ripping me off at this level is TERRORISM!!! I'm livid. Just want someone to work with but they steal EVERYTHING!!! 😭👩🎤🎭
Patrice Rushen – Forget Me Nots & Will Smith – Men In Black Rick James – Superfreak & U Can't Touch This – MC Hammer Prince – When Doves Cry & Pray – MC Hammer Killing Me Softly – Roberta Flack & Killing Me Softly With His Song – The Fugees
These songs sound identical in every way possible. Some sections were added to the new variant of the old song, to make it sound different in the new song.
Was permission granted to use these classic old songs in new songs ?
I hope that someone can shed some light on this for everybody around the world…
Jon B also sued The Spice Girls for "Say you'll be there", which the chorus had similarites in melody to the chorus of "What U R 2 Me" by after 7, which Jon B. Wrote
Here's a few other examples that I could think of The Beatles – Come Together (1969) (ripoff of "You Can't Catch Me!" (1956) by Chuck Berry) Camella Cabello – Havana (2017) (ripoff of "Smooth" (1999) by Carlos Santana and Robert Thomas) Camella Cabello ft. Machine Guns Kelly – Bad Things (2016) (ripoff of "Out of My Heads" (1999) by Fastball) Coldplay – Viva la Vida (2008) (ripoff of "If I Could Fly" (2004) by Joe Satriani) Ray Parker Jr. – Who You Gonna Call? GHOSTBUSTERS! (1984) (ripoff of "I Need Some New Drugs" (1983) by Huey Lewis and the News) Train – Play That Song (2016) (ripoff of "Heart and Soul" (1938) by The Larry Clinton Orchestra and Bea Wain) Will Smith – Men in Black Theme Song (1997) (ripoff of "Forget Me Nots!" (1982) by Patrice Rushen)
I believe that most of cases can be coincidence. Lots of them, artists that heated some melody somewhere and than started t believe that was their mind creating it. Rod Stewart released ' do you think me sexy' that has exactly the same refrain that some very famous song in Brazil. He travelled to Brazil and heard it believing that it was his idea later. He came out and apologized. I never heard that he payed something to the Brazilian artist, I don't think so.

A important message to future artists stay away from Marvin Gaye music. The family will come for you

What about the Beach Boys Surfin U S A and Chuck Berry' s Sweet Little Sixteen?
No songs in Existence! sound like Prince Songs!.
If I was a Artist & I would never sue if I was sampled I would get in studio with said artist and I would feature on the song .
Just reach out and make a deal with the owners of your inspiration. It's not that hard and cheaper.
