A jury found him not guilty of copying Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.”
Marvin Gaye’s baby-making hit “Let’s Get It On” for his Grammy Award–winning track “Thinking Out Loud.” The heirs of the song’s co-writer and composer, Ed Townsend, filed the lawsuit on July 11, 2017, claiming Sheeran unlawfully stole the song’s “harmonic progressions” and “melodic and rhythmic elements” for his own use.
While on the stand, Sheeran testified that chord progressions in pop music are quite limited and played examples on his guitar to the bemusement of the jury. He even promised to quit music under oath if he lost the trial over what he perceived to be an increase in copyright-infringement suits that demean pop-music writing.
