Putting It My Way But Nicely - There Should Be No More Lawsuits...
This is my 100th post and will be the 5th and final post/adventure about the short 3-4-5-8 melody used in music of many composers and songwriters from 1730-2013 (Sebastian Bach to Sebastian Mikael), and the copyright issues surrounding this melodic gesture. In this post I will state my opinion about the matter discussed in previous posts about 3-4-5-8 and provide links to the music of Bach, Badfinger, The Beatles, Toby Keith, Sebastian Mikael, Rodgers & Hammerstein, The Rolling Stones and XTC.
Blind Lemon Jefferson - The Big Bang Of Blues
Many songs in addition to "That's All Right" and "Matchbox" can be traced to Blind Lemon Jefferson who in turn learned many songs from his contemporaries and those who came before him. Authorship, sole authorship and copyright were not relevant to many practitioners, songwriters and composers of many styles of music.
