In this case, one strategy of the plaintiff would have been to demonstrate that the three Gibb brothers, as authors of ''How Deep Is Your Love,'' had access to his song, and that the two songs or substantial portions of them show a ''striking similarity,'' in order to prove his point. In copyright-infringement cases of this sort, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. They have never recorded music they did not write except for some songs they recorded as child singers in the 1950's and some Beatles tunes they reworked for the film ''Sgt. The Bee Gees maintained that as a matter of policy they never listen to or look at unsolicited songs. Selle testified that although he submitted the song to some 14 publishing and recording companies, all of which rejected it, none of these companies was directly connected to the Bee Gees or to companies that record or publish their work. Selle's song, ''Let It End,'' was registered with the copyright office in 1975, but it has never been published.
Within the music business, the decision against the Bee Gees has been seen as peculiar.
Engerman, said earlier this week that his client was also prepared ''to appeal or go for a new trial'' should the judge rule against him. ''If that fails, of course we'll appeal,'' Mr. The Bee Gees have filed a motion to overturn the decision a judge is scheduled to rule on that motion on April 22. The jury ruled in favor of Ronald Selle, a Chicago antiques dealer and band leader who claimed that the Gibb brothers' composition ''How Deep Is Your Love,'' which was a hit single in 1977 and appeared on their best-selling soundtrack album from the film ''Saturday Night Fever,'' was pirated from his own composition ''Let It End.'' Gibb, who founded the Bee Gees with his brothers Robin and Maurice, was talking about the last several months of their lives, and particularly about being found guilty in a copyright infringement suit by a Chicago jury on Feb. Whether you're trying to find a nostalgic song for your first wedding dance, something to, err, make love to, or an upbeat anthem to blast while doing some quarantine cleaning, read on for a list of the best, most romantic love songs of the 1990s that span all genres.''I FEEL like I've somehow stepped into 'The Twilight Zone,' '' Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees said recently. They cover the excitement of finding the one (K-Ci & JoJo's "All My Life"), wrestle with feeling shy around a crush (Aaliyah's "4 Page Letter"), picking up the pieces post-heartbreak (The Cranberries' "Linger"), and all themes in between. The hits on this list are united by their emotional candor. Björk's "Hyperballad" and Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window" deal with the changing nature of love, and what it takes to stay happy in a relationship. Ginuwine's "Pony" continues to feel sensual and futuristic, Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You" remains a peerless alt anthem, and Mariah Carey's "Emotions" still captures the rapturous feeling of falling head over heels for someone. Everything from pop rock power ballads to bouncy California rap, and R&B, ruled the charts, giving fans plenty of options for their Walkman or tape deck.Īnd while some '90s love songs feel as dated as the styles that have yet to make a comeback, many of them have held up well. Music in the decade was incredibly varied. The 1990s were known for many things-butterfly hair clips, flannel shirts, and baggy jeans come to mind-but beyond those fashion trends, it was also a great time for something else: the love song.
