    The one that burns me is John Mayer’s Waiting on the World to Change. Complete rip off of Curtis Mayfield’s People Get Ready.

    According to the liner notes to the compilation cd Time3 of Journey they were first. Kansas were touring with them at the time and heard them play this song every night, so they decided to “borrow” the riff. Could make sense. Any way, this riff produced two excellent songs!
