Trivia

* Jorge Ben filed a plagiarism lawsuit against British rock singer Rod Stewart for his use of the melody of "Taj Mahal" in the hit song "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" As a result of the lawsuit, Stewart agreed to donate all his royalties from the song to UNICEF. [http://www.musicweb-international.com/encyclopaedia/a/A97.HTM]
