Bob Dylan's Stealing of James Damiano's Songs by virtuefilms1--


Narrating Christine Boutsikaris




Few artists can lay claim to the controversy that has surrounded the career of songwriter James Damiano. Twenty-two years ago James Damiano began an odyssey that led him into a legal maelstrom with Bob Dylan that, to this day, fascinates the greatest of intellectual minds.

As the curtain rises on the stage of deceit we learn that CBS used songs and lyrics for international recording artist, Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's name is credited to the songs. One of those songs is nominated for a Grammy as best rock song of the year. Ironically the title of that song is Dignity. 

Since auditioning for the legendary CBS Record producer John Hammond, Sr., who influenced the careers of music industry icons Billy Holiday, Bob Dylan, Pete Seger, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan, James has engaged in a multimillion dollar copyright infringement law-suit with Bob Dylan.


Hard to see
The shadows
In
The Darkness of the night
Hard to see the truth
In the blindness of the light
Never thought i’d see
The Day
Where two wrongs
Make a right
Hard to see
The shadows
In
The Darkness

Of the night
