In perhaps the most famous example of songwriting plagiarism taken to trial, George Harrison was accused of lifting the melody of the Chiffons’ “He’s So Fine” for his first solo recording, the 1971 No. 1 epic “My Sweet Lord.” The similarities between the songs had been noted by many; country singer Jody Miller went so far as to record a quickie cover of “He’s So Fine” in ’71 using the languid, slide-guitar-infused “My Sweet Lord” arrangement. Harrison was ultimately found guilty of “subconscious plagiarism” — and remedied the matter by buying the publishing company that owned “He’s So Fine.”
