Forever Young
by: Anonymous

It appears that they pay Bob Dylan a chunk of royalty, btw. I guess when it was floating around in Rod's head, he didn't realize it was there due to already hearing Bob's version, maybe?

From Wiki Answers:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_wrote_the_Rod_Stewart_song_Forever_Young

Bob Dylan

Original lyrics by Diane Whitlow.
Actually Bob's Forever Young was a whole different songs. They had a court meeting and the court ruled there weren't enough similarities. Jim Cregan and Rod wrote the song.
My name is Jim Cregan and the song was developed in the studio from a melody idea that I had. Kevin Savigar (keyboards) helped finish the music and Rod Stewart wrote the lyric. Later we found Rod had unwittingly used two lines of a Bob Dylan lyric and ended up giving Dylan a chunk of the song and a credit. So accidentally I can now say I wrote a hit song with Bob.... :)

Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart recorded a song titled "Forever Young", which was released as a single and included on his Out of Order album in 1988. The song was remarkably similar to the Bob Dylan song of the same title, sharing not only a similar melody but many of the same lyrics. Upon threat of a plagiarism suit, Stewart acknowledged that he had subconsciously plagiarized the older song, and agreed to share his royalties with Dylan
