Muddy waters took Led zeppelin to court and sued successfully for "Whole Lotta love"
they share the credits with muddy on the latest Led Zeppelin 2 releases
and of course Jake Holmes now gets a mention on Led Zeppelin 1 for "Dazed and confused"

Yes themselves and Willie Dixon didn’t sue them , well not as much money involved as Led Zeppelin.
I could've sworn I read a Lennon interview where he claimed he warned George about "My Sweet Lord" beforehand. Perhaps it was just a general warning about musical plagiarism? I know Ringo was interviewed on TV around 1964 and asked if he had written anything. He said he wrote a song but it turned out he "nicked it." No doubt warned by the others.Lord Reith wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 9:58 am In his Playboy interview John correctly pegged Rod Stewart as having ripped off Don't Let Me Down (as "darling please stay" , although John erroneously said "Maggie don't go") but then said he didn't care! Which i thought was funny. Probably he was thinking of all the bits he borrowed from other songs, but John was always smart enough to disguise them. George just took He's So Fine wholesale and added new lyrics. He walked straight under a bus.
The funniest case of musical "borrowing" to me is Surfin' USA. Chuck Berry rightly flipped when he heard it and immediately sued Brian Wilson for a co-writer's credit, but in Brian's autobiography he refused to admit that he had just added new words to Sweet Little Sixteen. Talk about being in denial.
I thought the 2nd part of "the killing of Georgie" was an exact copy of the chorus of "don't let me down"Lord Reith wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 9:58 am In his Playboy interview John correctly pegged Rod Stewart as having ripped off Don't Let Me Down (as "darling please stay" , although John erroneously said "Maggie don't go") but then said he didn't care!

There's an interview where Ringo is asked (must be about 1964/5) why he doesn't write any songs and he says that he just ends up rewriting other people's songs and when he plays them to the others they fall about laughing.Ronson wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 11:55 am I could've sworn I read a Lennon interview where he claimed he warned George about "My Sweet Lord" beforehand.

That was the first thing I thought first time I heard it. There is just no way it could have been something Rod thought he made up on his own. Whether he did or not, that's "Don't Let Me Down" with new words, and you can't convince me otherwise.stereoman33 wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 1:38 pmI thought the 2nd part of "The Killing Of Georgie" was an exact copy of the chorus of "Don't Let Me Down"
