I Still Believe

I still believe

I still believe was first recorded by Bunny DeBarge in 1986. A year later, Chrysalis artist Brenda K. Starr also recorded a version of the song, who just happened to be employing a back-up singer 0351 5” CD-Single from Austria named Mariah Carey at the time. In 1998, Mariah recorded her own SAMPCS 6452 promo in slimline jewelcase version for her compilation album #1’s. I still believe was released as a single on February 9, 1999 in the USA and on March 1, 1999 Tracklisting: in Europe. On February 23, a remix single, called I still believe/Pure 1. I still believe (Album Version) imagination, was released. On the back cover is a little message for the dj’s: “I want to thank everyone at radio for your continued support. I appreciate ya! Love, Mariah.”

On January 5, 2001, Kathi Pinto, a songwriter from California, filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in United States District Court for the Central District of California over the single. Kathi alleges in the suit that she co-wrote a song entitled I still believe in 1981, which was sold to music publisher Galen Senogles at Simple Song Music that same year. As the song switched hands among various publish- 0986 5” CD-Single from Austria SAMPCS 666781-8 ers and record execs over the years through Pinto’s desire for a re- promo without sleeve cording contract, it eventually ended up in the hands of Tom Sturges at Chrysalis Records around 1985. Sturges allegedly helped pen a Tracklisting: tune called I still believe with Antonina Armato and Beppe Canarelli. 1. I still believe The suit reads, in part, “The infringing song incorporates and copies the theme, words, and music of [Pinto’s original]. In particular, the infringing song copies almost exactly the title-hook line in the chorus of [Pinto’s original], the most memorable and commercially important part of the [Pinto’s original]. The infringing song repeats this title-hook line several times in the chorus.” Pinto is suing for copyright infringement, violation of the Lanham Act, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, and accounting. In addi- tion to Sony Music, Pinto also names Sturges, Armato, Cantarelli, 0353 5” CD-Single from Austria Chrysalis Music Corp., and EMI Music Publishing in the suit.
