Shinehead Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 So my 'Tonedeafness' (is that a word??) is not so bad as previously thought. But what about the other comparisons..are they similar?? Can,t see any likeness between Hudson & The Isleys. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 l do... and that's why l asked the question I believe that there was a lawsuit over these two songs and that the writers of "Goodbye" successfully sued J Vincent Edwards for plagiarism...

Epic Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 "Can't Satisfy" - The Impressions & This Old Heart Of Mine" - The Isleys are very similar. Curtis Mayfield wrote a song called "Can't Satisfy" that was a top-20 r&b hit for the Impressions in 1966. Motown sued because the melody was very similar to this song. Mayfield ended up sharing songwriting credit for this song with Holland/Dozier/Holland/Moy. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) The melodic similarity between the Lillie Bryant single and This Old Heart of Mine could account for the scarcity of the former 45. Similarly Benny Latimore's rarest Dade 45, I'm A Believer is a dead ringer for Wilson Pickett's I'm In Love.

Pete S Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 l do... and that's why l asked the question Nice one spot on about Maxine and Javells. Impressions Can't satisfy is basically the same tune as This Old Heart Of Mine. Both that and Meet Me Halfway had to be withdrawn or maybe in the case of The Impressions, pay royalties to Motown. Apologies if anyone else has already said this. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Both that and Meet Me Halfway had to be withdrawn or maybe in the case of The Impressions, pay royalties to Motown. Apologies if anyone else has already said this. Good call Pete. Don't forget that "I Guess I'll Always Love You" also has a vocal line which Lillie Bryant could well have plagiarised. Do you think "Heartaches Away My Boy" by Christine Cooper could also have been singled out because of parts sounding like "Stop In The Name Of Love"?

Gene-r Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Also, harking back to a thread from a couple of years ago, does anyone realise that "I'm Losin' Your Love" by The Intentions is nothing more than a fastened-up cover version of "I Got To Handle It" by The Capitols? And for those who know "Tracy (All I Have Is You)" by Barry White on Faro, was this an outright steal of "Hit The Road Jack" by Ray Charles?

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Amy Winehouse was obviously listening to Big Dee Irwin's "I Wanna Stay Here With You" (Rotate - other side of "You Satisfy My Needs") when she 'wrote' the chorus of "Rehab"... ...my thanks to Dean Rudland for pointing this out!

Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Am I the same girl? = Soulful strut = Don't cha wanna ride? Was that one a bit too obvious? I seem to remember 'Turn back the night' was two other records as well. Meanwhile 'I can't dance to that music you're playing' lent it's riff to Steely Dan's 'Peg' and Larry Carlton's 'Mr. 335'. But that's jazz/funk so I guess it doesn't count. My copy of 'Dancing in the street' has another song using a remix of the 'Dancing' backing track on the 'b' side. Can't remember the title, it wasn't very good. And speaking of 'Dancing in the street', 'The In crowd' used the same chord progression. Now let's see. 'The In crowd' was also covered by The Ramsey Lewis Trio, which featured Young and Holt. 'Soulful strut' was credited to Young and Holt, but they weren't on it.

It was unintentional though Staying with The Beatles and Paul McCartney always said that he copied "Yesterday" from somewhere, but dosen't know where. Here's one of mine (I'm sure no-one else will agree) Madonas big pop hit "True Blue" sounds a lot like Love Unlimiteds "It May Be Winter Outside".

Epic Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It was unintentional though George Harrison was ordered to pay $587,000 to Bright Tunes Music (the owners of the song's copyright) in 1976, after a judge found him guilty of "subconscious" plagiarism of "He's So Fine" in regard to his 1971 hit "My Sweet Lord".[1] The Chiffons would later record "My Sweet Lord" to capitalize on the publicity generated by the lawsuit.
