“Why don’t you believe an artist?”
And further: «SVP claims their song is an original song. If that were the case, they wouldn’t have heard a word from me. If this is an “original song”, why didn’t they write an original chorus? I rarely license my songs when people change the verses. You can say and believe what you want, just don’t take what I made me do without my authorization! I think you know the chorus is the tune of “We Are Family.” If you don’t know, why not believe an artist? I have been composing music for over 50 years. my regards.”
