Eric, what do you think of this?  Did the Everly Brothers rip off Bach's 
prelude #1?  It's not that noticeable in the original (and far superior Everly 
Brothers' version), but it's more pronounced in Tom Jones' version, at least it 
seems that way to me.  I could be wrong:

Just thought it was interesting.
