About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This was a cover made in malice.
In 1963, a song by the Chiffons called He’s So Fine topped the charts in America. Eight years later, a man named George Harrison was sued for plagiarizing the song in his own #1 hit: My Sweet Lord. In 1975, The Chiffons themselves covered the song, in an attempt to draw attention to the lawsuit and the two songs’ similarities, even coyly sneaking in a “He’s so fine” or two. Finally, in February of 1976, almost exactly 5 years after the suit was filed, the court ruled in the favor of Bright Songs Music—in other words, The Chiffons.
