HAPPENING
George
Harrison is sued over his hit “My Sweet Lord”. It’s alleged that the
song infringes the copyright of The Chiffons’ 1963 hit “He’s So
Fine”. Harrison is eventually found guilty of ‘unconscious
plagiarism’, subsequently losing all of his royalties on the song.
Fleetwood
Mac guitarist Jeremy Spencer goes missing in Los Angeles shortly before the
group are due to perform at the Whiskey A Go-Go club. Subsequently it’s
discovered that he has joined the Children Of God religious cult and has
quit the music business.
Fairport Convention guitarist Richard Thompson quits the group, causing the cancellation of their prestige concert at Royal Festival Hall. Thompson is not replaced, instead Simon Nicol switches from rhythm to lead guitar.
More
