“It became known as the Van Morrison tune. My voice can sound like his,' Ed Sheeran testified.
The concert inside a packed Manhattan federal courtroom came on Sheeran’s third day on the stand at his copyright infringement trial, where he is accused of duplicating the sheet music for Marvin Gaye’s hit “Let Get It On.” The lawsuit, filed by the heirs of the song co-writer Ed Townsend, seeks to prove that Sheeran used several elements from the 1973 classic in his 2014 song.
Admitting that the Northern Irish rock legend is his major influence, Sheeran then played a series of four mash-ups for the jury—first playing a Van Morrison song followed by the first line from his own song to show the chord similarities. The demonstration marks the second time Sheeran has used his guitar in court to prove that the chords in his song were similar to several famous hits.
“I find it really insulting,” Sheeran said, leaning forward and he noted that he has worked “really hard” for his career and to have anyone “diminish it” is hard to bear.
