I don't really want to get involved in this George Harrison plagiarism argument, but he also "borrowed" the line "something in the way she moves" from James Taylor. James was signed to Apple and, in the studio one day, George heard James playing this:

Probably the best tribute I can pay to EWF is when every time I see the 'Boogie Wonderland' video, they look like they've been there for hours, and then carry on for hours after the filming stopped.
RIP. |

Just looking back at at this thread and noticed someone who hasn't been mentioned - Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman of Thunderclap Newman. Their big hit was the number one song 'Something in the Air' from 1969. He died at the end of March.
I'm shocked at hearing the news about Prince. Didn't expect that. |

Unbelievable coincidental deaths of major celebrities in such a compressed time period.
But let's not forget that hundreds of thousands of "ordinary" people die every day and nobody bats an eyelid. Hopefully this shocking series of deaths will remind us all to be kinder to each other, stop worrying about bullshit and enjoy the time we have. |

George Michael has joined Greg Lake this year (and Kirsty MacColl from 2000) from having had a classic Christmas hit then passed away around Christmastime some years later.
