Marc you state the quote " Those That Cant Do Sue"


Well sorry to disagree but Beatle George Harrison was sued for copying melodies

of two songs And George could definitely write hit songs re "Something " and

"My Guitar Gently Weeps" to mention just two However his song "' My Sweet Lord "-

was definitely the melody written for " He's So Fine " a massive hit for THE CHIFFONS

and George was successfully sued by the Copyright owners of "He's So Fine "


The same thing happened with the melody of another earlier song, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

written by writers David and Jonathan , it was a close copy of "' There's a Blue Ring 'round My Heart Virginia '

written way back in the 1930s ------ So in fact many well known Song Writers have had their songs Plagiarized


Of course other cases have been unsuccessful, bought about by claimants who were basically tone deaf

and their complaints were thrown out of court , so to speak ------David and Jonathin have a catalog of Hit Songs

and so has George Harrison so "Those who cant do" does not apply to them

One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.

In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
