Phil Collins released a song called, "A groovy kind of love" in 1988. The first recording was done by a duo called Diane and Annita and covered in 1965 by a British group called The Mindbenders. It was written by Carol Bayer Sager and Toni Wine. This always makes students of classical music chuckle because it's a direct and acknowledged lift from Muzio Clemente. So much so that whenever it gets played, this 1797 piece is always referred to by us as "a groovy kind of love" Clemente liked Haydn and Mozart and did 'arrangements' of their work. Everyone has done it, and in most cases the new spin on an old tune has brought something out. Then there is plagiarism. It is no coincidence that Hotel California, by The Eagles, came out shortly after they supported Jethro Tull, whose song, "We used to know" bears an uncanny resemblance.
But why the panic about AI? I have heard a few of these and frankly, they sound like lift music; glib copies of the Vox Humana. If you are telling me that AI will one day replicate the experience, the emotion, the delivery and the soul of a singer like Ella Fitgerald or Laura Nyro, I have to say that I cannot believe you. It's as crass as photoshopping the head of your least favourite politician on to a nude body.
