Ed Sheeran has defeated a copyright infringement lawsuit involving his Grammy-winning song "Thinking Out Loud" to the Marvin Gaye classic "Let's Get It On."

Stated publicly, he felt frustrated by the baseless claims and praised the jury's decision.
A Manhattan jury has found the musician did not engage in willful copyright infringement.

Okay, lots of song have similar beats, rhythms, chord progressions and that doesn't make them liable to other similar sounding songs.

I can think of other groups who 'lifted' songs by other other artists and either settled in court, out of court, win or lose.


This video/sound comparison came out 6 years ago:



In court, Ed backed up his claim that there are other songs with the same progression recorded before Marvin Gaye's song... would that mean he was guilty of copyright infringement too?
That would be a copyright infringement of a copyright infringement.

I'll start with John Paul Jones, bassist for the rock band Led Zeppelin. Born in England in 1946, John Richard Baldwin, change his name to John Paul Jones and not to be confused with the Naval officer back in the 1700's.
JPJ, was a studio musician, often termed session musician, playing bass guitar, piano, keyboards and mandolin. He knew Jimmy Page long before Zeppelin was formed. JPJ is also credited as a musical arranger and producer. After Zeppelin disbanded JPJ did some solo work. I've heard him singing on a few songs, but I wouldn't consider him a singer. Funny, I don't consider Clapton a singer either!

While he was a strong part of the sound that shaped Zeppelin, his recessive personality often had him cast into the background.
I was playing bass guitar professionally when Led Zeppelin's album hit the American airwaves and he was the bassist to copy. I would listen to his parts over and over again.
While he played keyboards for Zeppelin, his contribution of (Hammond) organ on Your Time Is Gonna Come is a sound masterpiece. I was in a 5-piece band and the keyboards were performed by another member. I still think JPJ's musical taste on that album was flawless.

One of my favorites is Kashmir. From their 6th album Physical Graffiti.
There are a few liver versions on YouTube, but the keyboards get drowned out by guitar and drums. Here's the album version where JPJ is credited for playing the orchestration and a mellotron.

While surfing YouTube last year, Antoine Baril came on my radar as the one man band playing songs from top rock groups like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Yes group, Genesis. It's amazing how well he plays all the musical parts. Keyboards, bass guitar, guitar and drums.
Based in Canada, he's got access to the same instruments the original musicians used including the actual Moog synthesized Keith Emerson used on stage and recordings.
It's worth a listen.

Well I wanted to get started with my day BUT I am inspired to write yet another long term blog. After this you guys probably won’t see a blog from me for a while. Because I do post quite a bit here now that I’m not on Facebook but anyhow….

A way to keep your brain from succumbing to entropy is to play the piano. A long lost hobby of mine that I dearly love. I will be posting videos of me playing it on YouTube and posting it here once I get back into it. Because I do want to show the world that I do have passions that I pursue that aren’t just about sexy handsome men. Although they are very high on my list. Lol.

So stay tuned for those videos. It will be a series of music pieces that I love to play on piano. I’m mainly into classical pieces right now because they are both challenging and melodic simultaneously. I don’t care anymore if you guys see what I look like. I’m tired of hiding myself. I have things to offer in my creative and inspiring arsenal.

My melodic piece of weaponry. I love it so much. One of the things I would grab if there was a fire threat. And excuse the mess. My teenage kitten has other ideas besides keeping order.

I been listening to this band for a long time and lately I am discovering lots more by them and They are in my top 5 of most solid bands I ever heard that you can put their music on back to back and listen to every song and enjoy them instead of skipping over 3/4 of it to get to the good stuff because its all good.
