The famous singer Madonna is being sued in Los Angeles. The claim was filed by the record company VMG Salsoul for non-payment of royalties by the pop star for using someone else's song.
Record company VMG Salsoul has accused the singer of misusing excerpts from the song Chicago Bus Stop (Ooh, I Love It) in her hit Vogue. This fragment is copyrighted by the Salsoul Orchestra group.
The statement of claim indicates that the famous singer since 1990 has been receiving income from her song with the used someone else's fragment. The original of the stolen fragment was published in 1977. However, only with the help of special technologies did the fact of theft become apparent quite recently.
The singer does not comment on this statement by representatives of VMG Salsoul. Until now, the amount of the claim has not been indicated.
The soundtrack for the album I’m Breathless, which includes the song Vogue, was released on March 20, 1990. The gold hit reached the highest charts in 30 countries around the world. Music critics agreed that this is the most successful singer 's dance hit. The popular hit sounded not only from the stage. In The Devil Wears Prada, the Vogue song was played during a scene with Anne Hathaway.
It is no secret to anyone that the main line of the work is taken from the hit Love Is The Message of the MFSB group. The horn and strings of the orchestra came from Love Break performed by the Salsoul Orchestra. Sound bites are borrowed from Dub Version, Love Break and Remix. To determine this, it was not necessary to conduct special research and apply special technologies. Nobody ever concealed this fact.
If you look at the origins of the hit, the song got its birth thanks to a special direction in choreography, which was practiced in the nightclubs of New York City. The dancers used a series of very complex movements of the body, arms, legs, imitating the most famous personalities in Hollywood. Therefore, the popularity of the hit cannot be attributed to individual fragments taken from the song Chicago Bus Stop.
