NEW YORK — A jury concluded Thursday that British singer Ed Sheeran didn't steal key components of Marvin Gaye's classic 1970s tune"Let's Get It On" when he created his hit song"Thinking Out Loud."
Sheeran sat with his legal team throughout the trial, defending himself against the lawsuit by the heirs of songwriter Ed Townsend, who created the 1973 soul classic with Gaye. They said"Thinking Out Loud" had so many similarities to"Let's Get It On" that it violated the song's copyright protection.

Gaye was killed in 1984 at age 44, shot by his father as he tried to intervene in a fight between his parents. He had been a Motown superstar since the 1960s, although his songs released in the 1970s made him a generational musical giant.
