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.
"Taj Mahal" and Rod Stewart
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]
