George Harrison recorded 'My Sweet Lord' in {1971;} it was a big hit, unfortunately for Harrison, because it then came to the attention of many that the song was a blatant rewrite of 'He's So Fine' by the Chiffons. Everyone seems to have noticed the resemblance except for Harrison and the record's producer, Phil Spector. How Spector missed it is hard to {fathom;} the Chiffons hit was recorded in 1963 by an 'all- girl' group who were from the same New York City high school. Spector was writing and producing at the same time for the same type of groups in the same city, competing on the same Billboard charts. At some point one would have expected Spector to pop his head out of the control room and say, 'Hey George, you know what this song reminds me of?' But I guess he didn't. The judge accused Harrison of plagiarizing twice, which I guess was done for emphasis, like getting a double-life sentence, and Harrison had to give up the royalties. http://www.dancingaboutarc.com/lists/plagiarismlist.html May 21 03, 1:45 PM
