While you're said this live mashup proves Ed Sheeran ripped off Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On. So in case you missed it Ed Sheeran testified in court against allegations that he plagiarized Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On to make his own hit thinking out loud. The lawsuit comes from the family of Let's Get It On co-writer Ed Townsend. They alleged that Sheeran's song has striking similarities to the 1973 hit. That 2014 mashup of Sheeran performing the song's Back to Back was submitted as evidence. But Sheeran asserted he matches up songs at a lot of gigs saying, If I'd done what you're accusing me of doing, I'd be an idiot to stand on stage in front of 20,000 people and do that. Do you think the song sound like?
