Pop star Ed Sheeran was in court this week after being accused of copying which hit song from 1973?
“What’s Going On”
“Lay Down Sally”
“Joy to the World”
“Let’s Get It On”
Musician Ed Sheeran played guitar and sang on the stand Thursday as part of his testimony in a copyright infringement trial about whether his smash single “Thinking Out Loud” copied the classic Marvin Gaye song “Let’s Get It On.” Sheeran is being sued by the heirs of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote the 1973 hit with Marvin Gaye. Sheeran’s legal team argued that the sounds used in both songs are common in pop music. In his opening statement Tuesday, Townsend’s attorney noted that Sheeran played his ballad and Gaye’s song back-to-back in a medley during a concert and called the moment a “smoking gun.”
The correct answer is “Let’s Get It On”.
