Richie Sues Lionel Richie Over Song Plagiarism
A 9th U.S. Circuit Court panel ordered a jury hearing for Gene Thompson's claim that his 1980 composition Somebody's Got To Love Her was plagiarized in Richie's Stuck On You. The panel overturned a Los Angeles federal judge who dismissed the suit as frivolous and cleared Richie of fees. Thompson, a 33 year old Los Angeles school custodian, says he submitted about 100 songs and provided a tape to Richie's manager. Richie has not heard Thompson's song.
