My Sweet Lord
"My Sweet Lord" is melodically similar to "He's So Fine", recorded by the Chiffons. A judge determined that Harrison did not consciously plagiarize "He's So Fine", but likely unconsciously copied the melody. (His later song "This Song" took a tongue-in-cheek look at the case.)The lawsuit went on for years, with Harrison's manager Allen Klein actually changing sides after he bought the publishing company that owned "He's So Fine". It counted against Klein in the long run, and Harrison ultimately ended up owning both songs.
The tune to the song "He's so Fine" is virtually the same. The ruling was that Harrison subconsciously plagiarized the tune. Appeals lasted for years, ending in 1998. He has said that if he had been aware of the similarity, he could have changed a few notes.
While George Harrison is often celebrated for his music and spirituality, he faced some controversies during his life. He had a tumultuous relationship with his first wife, Pattie Boyd, which included infidelity; he famously had an affair with Eric Clapton's girlfriend. Additionally, Harrison was involved in legal disputes over the copyright of his song "My Sweet Lord," which was deemed to have similarities to "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons. Despite these issues, his overall legacy remains largely positive.
Not intentionally. He was sued over his 1970 song "My Sweet Lord", because the melody was nearly identical to "He's So Fine" recorded by the Chiffons. The lawsuit went on for years, with Harrison's former manager Allen Klein actually becoming his opponent when Klein bought the company that published "He's So Fine". Harrison was found guilty of "subconscious plagiarism", rather than purposely "stealing" the melody, but he continued to appeal. The Chiffons recorded a cover version of "My Sweet Lord", Harrison's 1977 single "This Song" mocked the lawsuit, and Harrison ultimately ended up owning both songs, while Klein suffered in court for switching sides.
Society would return to it's old competitive ways and a two year sentence in jail with a 2,000 dollar fine for every ball of weight token out.

I doubt that Leon is dead as he sounded pretty fine when Fatboy received his voicemail.
