Madonna Sued For 'Vogue' - Plaintiffs Claiming She Sampled Salsoul Orchestra's 'Chicago Bus Stop' (LISTEN AND COMPARE)

Madonna Sued For Vogue - Listen And Compare

Madonna is facing legal action after allegedly failing to pay to sample another song in her classic hit Vogue.

Strike a pose... in a courtroom

Executives at record company VMG Salsoul have accused the Material Girl of using the horns and strings heard in Salsoul Orchestra's dance tune Chicago Bus Stop (Ooh, I Love It).

In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles and obtained by TMZ.com, it is claimed Madonna has made huge profits off Vogue since its release in 1990.

Here's Madonna in action first...

Madonna has previously sampled from other songs in her music, including her own and, most famously, from Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme on her 2005 hit Hung Up.

Music bosses only recently discovered the apparent sample in Madonna's song thanks to new technology designed to identify specific sounds.

VMG Salsoul chiefs are now suing for copyright infringement and demanding unspecified damages.

Have a listen to the two tracks and tell us what you think... too similar, or are they dreaming? Here's Salsoul Orchestra...
