the Janet Jackson song-stealing suit?

**olskinflint** · May 21st, 2005, 11:56 AM

is anyone else amused by the guy who's suing Janet Jackson and her producers, claiming they stole his song and re-did it as "All for You?" I laughed hard when I heard about this, since "All for You" is based on a VERY obvious sample of one of my favorite all-time songs, the Change classic "The Glow of Love." I don't own Janet's album (I'm a bit tired of her) but I'm sure the album acknowledges the source of the sample, especially since Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis eventually produced Change themselves.

I'm amused and you're damn right!

:lol:

Just bought the CHANGE album a few weeks ago and noticed the same thing. It's nice if you can use your own songs as sample and make some money again

Jam & Lewis didn't write or produce "Glow of Love"

Yeah, you're right buckaroo!

It's probably a misunderstanding, the song to which olskinflint referred shouldn't be "glow of love", but "you are my melody" from the CHANGE album "change of heart" (1984). At least that's what I was thinking of...

Although Janet is still great!!! And so are Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis!

actually I was wrong: "all for you" contains a sample from "the glow of love" and NOT from "you are my melody"!!!

Although the songs sound very similar. nearly the same harmonies...
