Olly Murs accused of song thievery

Olly Murs is in a bit of hot water over his single ‘Thinking of Me’ after Nineties indie group Dodgy claim that it bears a striking resemblance to one of their tunes.

Dodgy had a huge hit with ‘Good Enough’ in 1996. Olly Murs would have been 12 and therefore old enough to remember it. An expert is due to decide whether or not the singer lifted the tune for himself and whether Dodgy should share in some of his profits.
