Thread Name: Bob Dylan's 50 greatest songs
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan's 50 greatest songs
Bob Dylan clearly took "inspiration" from this song to write the words and music of "Don't think twice, it's all right".    And,, he paid a good amount later on to Clayton
the controversy was due to the fact that Dylan copyrighted the tune is his own name, with no mention that he'd taken the melody from Paul Clayton, nor any reference to to the negro song that originally inspired Clayton's song.
