Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' faces copyright trial over similarities to Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'.

A musicologist testified in court that Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" share a similar chord progression and "have the same harmonic rhythm" in the copyright infringement trial against Sheeran. However, the testimony was overshadowed when the daughter of the late "Let's Get It On" co-writer collapsed in court during cross-examination. The trial, which was initially filed in 2016, is expected to continue with Sheeran testifying in his own defense later in the week.
