Post a Surprising Musical Fact.

In the excellent stage show ”War of the Worlds” the singer Justin Heyward sings about the chances of anything coming from mars is a million to one, yet still they come. This stageshow has been running succesfully since the early 80’s. It transpires that the aforementioned Moody Blues legend doesn’t actually believe in Martians but is happy to coin it in accordingly from the show.
I call hypocrite.

Prince plagiarized The Most Beautiful Girl In The World:

There has been a long running copyright dispute since 1995 and a court in Italy ruled that Prince had plagiarized the song, giving writing credit to those other than Prince.

Bruno Bergonzi and Michele Vicin co-wrote the song "Takin' Me to Paradise", published in 1983 by Warner Chappell Italy. The session vocalist was Raynard. J, the pseudonym of Jay Rolandi. The song appeared on a number of compilations which were internationally distributed. An Italian court ruled in 2003 that Prince's 1994 hit, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World", had plagiarized the song by the two Italian writers. Bergonzi and Vicino won on appeal in 2007. The third and final sentence, by the Court of Cassation of Rome, was given in May 2015. Italian collecting society SIAE recognizes Bergonzi and Vicino as the authors of the song's music.
