Ben is the ninth album by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben, released in 1972. [1] The album has one of Jorge Ben's most famous songs, "Taj Mahal", and "Fio Maravilha", paying homage to Flamengo's iconic striker Fio Maravilha.
Ben filed a copyright infringement lawsuit claiming Rod Stewart's song " Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" had been derived from "Taj Mahal". The case was "settled amicably" according to Ben. [2] Stewart admits "unconscious plagiarism" of Ben's tune in his 2012 autobiography. [3]
All songs composed by Jorge Ben.
