from my previous post Telstar by the Tornados A French composer, Jean Ledrut, accused Joe Meek of plagiarism, claiming that the tune of Telstar had been copied from La Marche dAusterlitz, a piece from a score that Ledrut had written for the 1960 film Austerlitz. This led to a lawsuit that prevented Meek from receiving royalties from the record during his lifetime, and the issue was not resolved in Meeks favour until a year after his death in 1967. It is unlikely that Meek was aware of Austerlitz, as it had been released only in France at the time. The song Jean Ledrut, accused Joe Meek of stealing from.
