Vintage Associated Press Wire Teletype from 1983. Pertaining to a copyright infringement case against the pop group the Bee Gees. Measures 8.5 x 6.5. Condition: Has age yellowing, and light ink. Comments: In 1983, the Bee Gees faced a legal battle over their hit song How Deep Is Your Love from the movie Saturday Night Fever. A Chicago songwriter named Ronald Selle claimed that the Gibb brothers had stolen melodic material from one of his songs called Let It End and incorporated it into their own composition.During the trial, the jury found in favor of Selle, ruling that the Bee Gees were indeed guilty of copyright infringement. The case centered around the similarities between the two songs, and an expert witness for Selle, a musicologist named Arrand Parsons, provided technical analysis of the notes to demonstrate that the Bee Gees had plagiarized Selles work.
