May 20, 2014
Rolling Stone broke the news that a lawyer representing deceased Spirit guitarist Randy California is claiming the hard-rock legends Led Zeppelin stole the intro for their 1971 single "Stairway to Heaven" from Spirit's 1968 song "Taurus." The story reminded us of a lot of other songs/artists who have been accused of plagiarizing a song.
For today's Coffee Break, let's put together a list of artists that have been accused of plagiarism. Who should we play this morning?
Songs Played:
George Harrison "My Sweet Lord"
The Flaming Lips "Fight Test"
Johnny Cash "Folsom Prison Blues"
