Ed Sheeran vs The Law

Natalia Delfini, Senior


Since Ed Sheeran's hit song “Thinking Out Loud” has been released, it has raised many eyebrows-especially Marvin Gaye’s! Marvin Gaye’s song “Let’s Get It On” from 1973 has an uncanny resemblance of “Thinking out Loud”. Judge Louis Stanton has now ordered a jury to decide whether Ed and his labels should repay Marvin Gaye’s label and Ed Townsend, a co-writer of the song.

The bass and percussion of these two songs sound almost identical. However, there is question as to if Marvin Gaye’s instrumental piece is too common to accuse Ed Sheeran of copying his work.
