George Harrison

George Harrison stated that the events that occurred during the litigation of a claim that he had plagiarized the melody for his worldwide smash hit, "My Sweet Lord" from a hit single from 1963 called "He's So Fine" would fill a book.

The result? In the early 1970s, a U.S. civil court agreed that the melody of George Harrison's song, "My Sweet Lord," was essentially identical to the Chiffons' earlier song, "He's So Fine," and the ex-Beatle paid a substantial portion of his song's profits to them. No love lost there.
