Harrison's two most famous songs -- "Something"{{fact}} and "My Sweet Lord" -- were copied in significant ways from other artists' prior works. Due to the melodic similarities between "My Sweet Lord" and the Chiffons' 1963 number-one hit "He's So Fine" (composed by Ronnie Mack), that song's publisher sued Harrison for copyright infringement. A court found Harrison guilty of "unconscious plagiarism" and awarded the plaintiff a substantial fine.<ref>http://www.allmusic.com/song/my-sweet-lord-mt0011899024</ref>
