Liberal Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this group or not, but perhaps by change, I had was checking previewing two songs. One of them was Sixteen by The Heavy. And then I click on the song above it (this was based on a list of songs I had put on my iTunes wishlist) I Put A Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.. Soon as I noticed the similarity I raced over to Google to see what they are saying about this. I then notice no writing credits are given to Hawkins. While nice to see a band that has influences before the 70s and 60s, I can't help buy feel a bit upset about this.

Lucky Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Isn't it standard practice for groups/bands/artists nowadays (good lord I sound old) to sample other's work without writing credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
