Black Eyed Peas
In 1983, Lynn Tolliver wrote and released a song called "I Need a Freak." The Ohio Disc jockey received minimal critical reception, but apparently the Black Eyed Peas heard it because they sampled it without the singer's permission in their 2005 song "My Humps." Lynn successfully sued the group for $1.2 million in copyright violations and a lack of permission.
