The Verve developed “Bitter Sweet Symphony” from a sample from a 1965 version of the Rolling Stones song “The Last Time” by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra, adding vocals, strings, guitar and percussion. After a lawsuit by the Rolling Stones’ former manager, Allen Klein, the Verve relinquished all royalties and the Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were added to the songwriting credits. In 2019, ten years after Klein’s death, Jagger, Richards, and Klein’s son ceded the rights to the Verve songwriter, Richard Ashcroft.

Pretty much the only thing they’re remembered for and they make no money from it. Supreme FAFO moment.
Mildlytart Orchestra is definitely a banger and one of their hidden gems.
