Famous Musicians Who Allegedly Stole Their Number One Hits

Stolen From Marvin Gaye

Williams claimed that as a musician, he was heavily influenced by Gaye in many aspects of his process, so it's possible that there was some unconscious stolen content. However, the Gaye family has not pursued the case legally, so not much came from this.
