In this Case Gordon Jenkins (a song righter and singer) accused Johnny Cash of copying and reproducing a song of his. The two songs were slightly different but when set side by side, most of the lines sounded the same, with the same lyrics even. After 15 years of dispute, this case was actually settled outside of the court room, Jenkins sued Mr. Cash for defaming him with the song that he originally wrote. This 1968 out of court settlement approached the hundred thousand mark.
