Were Simon and Garfunkel sued over the song El Condor Pasa?
LaisyDaisy
Yes. Paul Simon had first heard the song performed by a French folk group, who told him it was a very old traditional song, when in fact it had been written and registered in 1933. Later, the composer's son sued for copyright infringement in what is generally referred to as a "very friendly" case. An article about it (in Spanish) is available at the link below.
