Family members who appeared on ET earlier this week commented on the similarity of the two songs; Gaye's daughter Nona said she thinks they sound alike, but that as far as legal pursuit goes, "We're not in that space."

Well, that space is roughly a reality away anyway, because William "Smokey" Robinson wrote "Ain't It Peculiar" and has licensed it for recording to many artists, as anyone with a laptop and the link to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers website can tell you.

I bought the album in 2001.  Only Timbaland and Missy were listed as writers. :lopsided:

You list the original writers in the credits.  They created the song.  :uhh:


But no other writers were created anywhere.  He stole it, hun.

Yeah Timbaland used alot of samples but never did credit them.
We Need A Resolution, I Care 4 U,  More Than A Woman and Don't Know What To Tell Ya all were sampled from songs but were not credited.

!!!

My suspicion is that the original writers are dead on I Care 4 U, and their family never got a case together.  It may have been a clearance issue as to why there wasn't time to  include it on OIAM originally.  But I don't know.
