Rock and roll has always been full of ripoffs. For instance, Chuck Berry was furious that The Beach Boys took his sound, lock stock and barrel, for Surfin’ USA. George Harrison was sued for plagiarizing My Sweet Lord from the 1963 hit “He’s So Fine” by the Chiffons. And of course the entire genre started in New Orleans by Black musicians before White musicians like Elvis Presley picked up on it.
Whatever happened, we now have musicians like Juna Serita playing funk in Japan, bands like Latvia’s Swamp Shakers playing rockabilly and on and on and on. It belongs to the world.
