Another song that resulted in a lawsuit and the artist giving cowriting credits to another band (the other band in this case was The Rolling Stones, IIRC)

    The Stones didn’t have anything to do with it…former manager Allen Klein started that. After he died the credits went back to Ashcroft.

    To Jagger and Richards in particular. They ceded the song-writing credit back to Richard Ashcroft in 2019.

    If you haven’t heard the song he sampled it from it’s pretty blatant (starts from 0:18 and just keeeeeps going). And I’m speaking as someone who loves “Bittersweet Symphony”.
