if they never presented the Gaye Estate with cold hard cash in a suitcase then it would be mute.

those cats back in 78-80 was acknowledging a sound and vibe that was happening then. now fast forward to now and when you do a song that sounds very similar then logically you gonna think and feel sample and they did sample MJ's scream from Don't stop til you get enough.

like you already know Steely Dan had pay Keith Jarrett for a song being so similar and it happens.

i mean Got to Be real by Cherryl Lynn and Best of my love by the emotions are dead ringers.

Mariah Carey had to settle out of court with her song Emotions and Best of my love.

i see a settlement on the low.
