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.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
