This has been mentioned dozens of times in the past. GC's "Maiden Voyage" is basically an uncredited cover of TD's "Love on a Real Train." I'm guessing the reason TD never took any action against GC is because "Love on a Real Train" is itself a shameless ripoff of one section of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians. C.
