Yes you can sort of hear it, but Led Zeppelin used a lot of 'influences' on their first album. Keith Richard found his own style in the Stones through immitation. But no I agree the court case should have gone nowhere.
The Dorian vamp at the beginning is similar to "My Sweet Lord" as it is ii to V, however the verse is not I to vi like George's song. The melody is completely different for the verse. The chorus of this song is actually I to vi, all those fifties' songs are like that. George's song is not at as similar as some would lead you to believe in my opinion. George's song has some fully diminished chords as subs as well. I think the George song is much better and more creatively crafted; Tis' my opinion
Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a women with lust u have committed adultery with her in your heart.
If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The Bible teaches despise the value of your eye compared to the value of your soul. would u sell your eye for a million dollars? And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. needgod.com
Was this song actually popular back then? If it was a hit then there might(keyword is might) have been an accidental copy right infringment but as much as coldplay had on joe satriani. If it wasn't a hit then he probably never heard it and it was a stupid case. oh well we would have never gotten georges "This Song" without it so yay for crappy law cases!
George Harrison was sued for the similarity between My Sweet Lord and hes so fine and denied deliberately plagiarising the song. he then purchased the rights to both songs
@amarsbarr Yeah. A Court of Law thought he knowingly copied the MELODY, the TUNE, and Mr Harrison had to hand over a lot of money in royalties. It was THE SONG.... NOT THE SINGERS, he stole. You'd have to be tone deaf not to hear it.
@Jivemasterj@meloveyou38 The Rolling Stones originally aspired to be a blues band. Not rock or pop. Bungle is a FZ wannabe. Many people have heard of Parliament/Funkadelic. Their influence is undeniable. However to say its greater than that of the Beatles is ridiculous. Thier catalog was last estimated by industry execs at 500 mil, but it would be hard to put a price on it because "Lennon-McCartney songs will go on making money untill the end of time" (Coleman 158) I.E. they are not played out

IF I HEAR HEY JUDE ONE MORE FUCKING TIME I"M GONNA KILL THE REST OF THOSE ENGLISH FUCKS MYSELF! AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
@JivemasterJ Well, YOU CAN JUST KISS MY ASS! The Beatles were & Are the Greatest Band of all Time!!! BTW? Hey Jude,HEY JUDE,HEY JUDE! ALSO YOU ARE A NUB FOR SAYING SUCH A THING!

Sure, lets just say the beatles are the greatest band of all time, and lets also pretend that steak and onions are your favorite meal...Now imagine that you have steak for every meal every day until you're sick of them....
@JivemasterJ Yeah... I most agree with that paddy-guy/girl; beatles are the best band of all times. They had everything from ballads to punk to almost metal; there are no band that have ever existed that have been that varied. I'm a huuuge beatlesfan obviously, but I'm a pink floyd fan as well and supertramp, nirvana, beach boys,chicago, kinks, oasis and the runaways-fan. But still; the beatles are waay better than any of these bands.
@meloveyou38 My point was that the beatles are overexposed, and I am tired of hearing about them. Mr. Bungle had a wider variety of songs than the beatles anyways, and Parliment/Funkadelic was a way more influential group. The beatles' early material is all pretty lame as well, I've only ever liked their Post Sgt. Pepper stuff...As a pop group the Rolling stones beat them in my opinion. I'll still take early stones over early beatles, as well as the beach boys and anything phil spector made.
@JivemasterJ Hmm.. my opinion is that mr. Bungle had no talent what so ever; just alot of random notes mixed together to make an awful song. EH, nobody have ever heard of Paliment/Funkadelic? How can they be more influential? The early material was only to make then famous, then they had the freedom to make what ever they wanted! EH, rolling stones? Honestly? They're first of all a ROCK band, and second; they're nowhere near the talent and music the beatles made.
@meloveyou38 Parliment/funkadelic, helmed by george clinton, transformed soul into funk, influencing james brown, prince, michael jackson, and every other musician to play funk music, not to mention almost every hip-hop artist from the "golden era" of hip hop. The beatles are a played out, tired, boring group that should be left alone until they become obscure, so they can be rediscovered by new generations and actually enjoyed, instead of being paraded around and pressed into everybody's face.
@meloveyou38 In hip-hop the vocalist is the melody, it's subtle and harder to understand, besides, a lot of funk also has very little melody, and would you go as far to say that James Brown never made music? if so I'd consider you a racist and a prude...Also many hip hop tracks actually do have melodies, for example, you'd be an idiot to say Pacewon's "I declare War" has no melody.
@JivemasterJ first of all; I'm not racist. A racist person isn't a man (or woman for that matter), who discriminates african-americans. It's a person who simply DISCRIMINATES... god, I never said that I disliked african-americans; I said that I dislike RAP and HIPHOP. I love Jimi Hendrix for example. White people raps as well btw.. Honestly, I hate people like you; who thinks everyone discriminates african-americans... I'm not going to discuss with you any longer. btw; rap is better than dubstep
@meloveyou38 I said I'd consider you a racist if you said James Brown never made any music due to lack of melody...you're obviously an illiterate philistine who's way too defensive on the whole racism topic. Besides, it's considered politically incorrect to use the term "African American", it's black, that's the word!
@meloveyou38 Hilarious, maybe next time you'll think before defending some dead millionaires body of work over the internet LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOROFLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@JivemasterJ Parliament/funkadelic would have been no where without Bootsy Collins on the bass. Apart from that I agree with you about the rest of what you say on P and F. BUT as for the Beatles you are talking shit. They revolutionised the way the studio was used and were the most talented band ever. Obviously you have no understanding of combined with what was for the time highly experimental and boundary pushing music. I feel sorry for you to be missing out on so much.
@OrpheusIsThe1 Frank Zappa and the mothers revolutionized the way the studio was used to record on freak out, the Beatles took what he did and made pop music out of it...sure their albums were influetial, my primary complaint is that I'm sick of their songs, and I'm sick of hearing about how they're the be all end all of music.
Punk? Metal? Please. Let's give credit where credit is due. They were a good band that wrote well constructed, well orchestrated pop tunes. That's all. And please don't tell me Helter Skelter or Revolution Number 9 was punk or metal. Those songs are just plain rock.
@ThePaddyjoejr1 and then, imagine that after you're sick of steak and onions every time you go out in public people cram it down your throat, and your mail box is crammed full of steak and onions recipies, and other people are talking about their versions of steak and onions, and on TV every five minutes there's fuckin commercials for different steak and onions flavored products. Besides, Joe Strummer called the beatles phony in 1979, which obviously doesn't mean anything to you because...
@JivemasterJ The Clash are one of my favorite bands but just because Joe Strummer made a statement about his opinion on them, it definitely doesn't make it the gospel on the subject. I could care less what any of my favorite musicians say about any artist as music is completely subjective and the only opinion that matters is my own. So yes, what Joe Strummer says means nothing to me and if it does to you then you're exposing yourself as nothing but a pathetic sheep.
@greatestxgift My point was the beatles were lame in the 80s, there are other bands out there, the beatles are played, and the only reason anybody is paying attention to them is because of all the corporate push behind their comeback!
@JivemasterJ music never dies, people do they don't make new songs. they made more than 200 songs and the beatles are still very popular cause they had different styles for all their music and suit a lot of people's tastes in music, that's why.
@Kroumph fuck those dead drug addicts, I'm tired of hearing this crap...I can think of at least 3 different bands that are better than the Beatles: Minutemen, The Supremes, Flipper and Funkadelic...Right off the top of my head! Get off Paul mcartney's withered cock and expand your horizons!
@JivemasterJ first off, paul mccartney is my least favourite beatle, they werent drug addicts, i just so happen to not like those bands i have a different taste in music than you. i like the beatles, hendrix, the guess who, the rolling stones, bob marley and more awesome bands, you're just gonna have to deal with it. enjoy your music and ill enjoy mine.
@ThePaddyjoejr1 ...you know nothing about rock music and have simply gravitated towards these fucking dinosaurs repackaged and forced upon you by your corporate overlords. How old are you, 12? Don't believe the hype, there's a better things out there.
My Sweet Lord actually sounds quite a bit like this song, but totally different at the same time. Like the melodies sounds similar but the overall effects are totally different.
The similarities to MY Sweet Lord are so slight it is silly to attempt compare the two. Many songs have similarities - like just about every 8 bar rock-n-roll song.
Fuck the Chiffons for taking George's money just because of a mere coincidence. And then, they covered his song too so they could spite him. Jealous bitches. There are tons of songs in history that sound like each other, like 21 Guns by Green Day which sounds like Telephone Line by ELO. No big lawsuit happened, right?
I don't see why everyone always has to argue about songs. Whatever you think is just your opinion and not a fact. There is no reason to get pissed off at people just because they have a different opinion than you.
If this song sounds like another song you might know that's because George Harrison unintentionally use the tune from this song for his hit "My Sweet Lord" the publisher of this song successfully sued George for copyright infringement.
considering this was a hit long before my sweet lord, maybe George nicked the tune... SO FUCKING SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE HEAD ARSEHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for reading oh and by the way have a nice day :)
If I was George Harrison I would kill myself. "My Sweet Lord" is one of the most annoying songs ever. I put it up there with "Macarthur Park" and "Having my Baby" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." and all of you that dont agree are guilty of liking bad music, simple as that..
@NeuralNetProcessor "There are only two kinds of music; god and bad" Duke Ellington.
What does it say about you that if you don't like a song , you feel a need to insult people who do? don't like it? Turn it off and move onm. Nobody's forcing you to enjoy something you don't. Why the barbs?
I don't think George listened to this song before composing My Sweet Lord, either. Unintentional plagiarism happens all the time. I've heard far more obvious similarities in other songs than these two. They're both good songs, but I think they sound completely different, same chord progression or no.
sorry but this song sucks!!! this song would not b popular without my sweet lord by george harrison, and both songs are not the same its a little bit similar,but all of you tell me, if you can buy my sweet lord or this song wich one of those would you buy??and other song called got my mind set on you originally by rudy clark, george harrison make it popular we should to be glad with him cause he make got my mind set on you better than rudy, and my sweet lord sounds diferent to this song!!
But georges version is NOT the same exact song as this, and their both rather popular songs regardless of the whole law suit, so theres nothing really to complain about.
Music does not BELONG to anyone. You cannot STEAL music. There is no such thing as African American music or Indian music. Because an Irish guy can sing a song with an african american blues beat for example, and its not stealing. In fact, people should be happy when others use their style of music. I dont want to hear that people are taking a style of music away from an ethnic group, because they're not, thats just my opinion.
But using the same exact tune is a different thing, but Georges ver
I am as big of a Harrison fan as anyone....BUT anybody that says "my sweet lord" sounds nothing like this song needs their ears checked.....ITS nearly idencial in the chorus. weather Harrison used the song subconciously or not is up for debate. But the bottom line is they are very much the same. I prefer "my sweet lord" but im sure im bias.
"He's So Fine," whose classic "doo-lang, doo-lang" riff was appropriated by George Harrison in 1970 for his own chart-topper, "My Sweet Lord" (Harrison was subsequently ordered to pay substantial damages to the original publishers, though he always claimed the resemblance was unintentional)." -from Chiffons Bio(google it)
George stole it like THEY all did back then.. C'mon Son!
If I were George Harrison, I would have turned any Chiffons records into frisbys soon to meet a brick wall :) What a load of B.S. The two songs barely sound alike.
There's Difference : Harrison's My Sweet Lord is so Fine....unlike chiffons
I dont play music so i dont if they are identical or not;
But as a ex-Beatles first Solo single whic wud garner huge Publicity i dont think george wud hav done so called Plagrism intentionally,also considering he Didnt wanted to seen a lesser songwriter than Lennon/McCartney. he brought it as Honest Spiritual song;also he was obsessed with Eastern Religions he might hav Overlooked it.
@aniqwertyani all im saying is musically they have a great many similarities. i love the beatles and especially george and i know he had good intentions, its just that the songs are quite the same
african americans had an entire genre of music pulled out of from under them, but george harrison did not intentionally take this melody. the similirities are undeniable though
I don't understand all this talk of people ripping people off. "My Sweet Lord" wasn't released until 15 January 1971. "He's So Fine" was released in December 1962. So @bobdylan60 i don't quite see how The Chiffon's ripped off a song that hadn't even been written yet. I listened to "My Sweet Lord" and the melody is similar but that is where the similarities end. They are different songs. People, just chill the fuck out and listen to the damn song.

@MultiHotNERD well your right he did not know billy preston was really playing this song... read "behind sad eyes, the life of george harrison".also next time you want to make a point dont be so rude... maybe i was wrong so what, george was al l peace about and thats what i try and take from his music . im going to do the goergey thing and respond in grace to your rude comment as he said when a man attempted to murder him "Hare Krishna"
""[George] must have known, you know. He's smarter than that. It's irrelevant, actually -- only on a monetary level does it matter. He could have changed a couple of bars in that song and nobody could ever have touched him, but he just let it go and paid the price. Maybe he thought God would just sort of let him off" -- John Lennon, "Rolling Stones" 1980 interview
ive read goerge harrisons biography and THIS is the TRUE story. he was on tour with billy preston... billy began playing this song but said " My Sweet Lord" instead of "Hes So Fine". then george began turning it into a song... he wrote "My Sweet Lord" they wrote "Hes So Fine" the end
@Revolution0629 that is total BS. you made that crap up. Harrison claimed until his dying day he didn't have any reference to He's so Fine. tell us the "biography to which you refer. The suit against him was deemed "unconcious plagerism." I have no idea who you are Mr. Revolution but you are either a blatant liar or an illiterate who cannot read for none of what you said is the truth as evidenced by the way a court case spanning over 20 years played out.
Even IF George 'ripped' this song off, he fucking improved it alright.

@meloveyou38 Parliment/funkadelic, helmed by george clinton, transformed soul into funk, influencing james brown, prince, michael jackson, and every other musician to play funk music, not to mention almost every hip-hop artist from the "golden era" of hip hop. The beatles are a played out, tired, boring group that should be left alone until they become obscure, so they can be rediscovered by new generations and actually enjoyed, instead of being paraded around and pressed into everybody's face.

@JivemasterJ Parliament/funkadelic would have been no where without Bootsy Collins on the bass. Apart from that I agree with you about the rest of what you say on P and F. BUT as for the Beatles you are talking shit. They revolutionised the way the studio was used and were the most talented band ever. Obviously you have no understanding of combined with what was for the time highly experimental and boundary pushing music. I feel sorry for you to be missing out on so much.

@JivemasterJ The Clash are one of my favorite bands but just because Joe Strummer made a statement about his opinion on them, it definitely doesn't make it the gospel on the subject. I could care less what any of my favorite musicians say about any artist as music is completely subjective and the only opinion that matters is my own. So yes, what Joe Strummer says means nothing to me and if it does to you then you're exposing yourself as nothing but a pathetic sheep.

Music does not BELONG to anyone. You cannot STEAL music. There is no such thing as African American music or Indian music. Because an Irish guy can sing a song with an african american blues beat for example, and its not stealing. In fact, people should be happy when others use their style of music. I dont want to hear that people are taking a style of music away from an ethnic group, because they're not, thats just my opinion.
But using the same exact tune is a different thing, but Georges ver

"He's So Fine," whose classic "doo-lang, doo-lang" riff was appropriated by George Harrison in 1970 for his own chart-topper, "My Sweet Lord" (Harrison was subsequently ordered to pay substantial damages to the original publishers, though he always claimed the resemblance was unintentional)." -from Chiffons Bio(google it)

I don't understand all this talk of people ripping people off. "My Sweet Lord" wasn't released until 15 January 1971. "He's So Fine" was released in December 1962. So @bobdylan60 i don't quite see how The Chiffon's ripped off a song that hadn't even been written yet. I listened to "My Sweet Lord" and the melody is similar but that is where the similarities end. They are different songs. People, just chill the fuck out and listen to the damn song.
