Another cover by the baronets: John Lennon was sued for stealing the guitar riff and the phrase "Here comes old flat-top" from "You Can't Catch Me" by Chuck Berry. The lawsuit didn't come from Berry, but from Morris Levy, one of the most notorious figures in the music industry. Levy sued the Beatles, or more precisely John Lennon, over the song during the time when the Beatles were breaking up.
For years, Lennon delayed the trial as he and the Beatles tried to resolve all the legal and business issues plaguing Apple Records. Eventually, in an attempt to avoid the courtroom as much as possible, he settled with Levy. Lennon agreed to record his album Rock N Roll, which was just a series of covers, including three songs owned by Levy (including "You Can't Catch Me") in the tracklist. The deal made sense: Lennon always wanted to make a cover album, and Levy wanted the value of his songs to increase (when a Beatle re-records a song, that's exactly what happens)…
