Legal documents claim Ed’s Thinking out Loud is copied from Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. Ed Sheeran is being sued for a massive $100 million (£76.4 million).
The claim has been brought by a company called Structured Asset Sales (SAS), which owns part of the copyright of Gaye’s song. Gaye co-wrote the track alongside Edward Townsend in 1973. Townsend died in 2003 but SAS bought one-third of the copyright.
Sheeran has already faced legal action over the track after the heirs of Townsend also said Thinking Out Loud copied from the iconic song. He has denied those allegations. The album X, which features Sheeran’s song, sold more than 15 million copies.
