Barry Manilow Sued For Unauthorised Use Of Judy Garland Image

Barry Manilow has been challenged over his use of a film clip with Judy Garland singing “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart”.

Manilow recorded the song for his 2014 album My Dream Duets that saw him singing with a number of dead artists including Frankie Lymon, Mama Cass, Whitney Houston, John Denver, Andy Williams and Dusty Springfield.

While there have been no repercussions over the recording, indicating he received the proper licensing, one Darryl Payne is claiming that a film of Garland singing the original My Dream Duets song was used in promo video in and at least 68 Manilow shows, according to TMZ.

Payne claims that he is the owner of the film clip and wants him to stop using the video and pay profits from its use.

When My Dream Duets came out, it went to number 4, the highest chart spot for a Manilow album in seven years.

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
