Musician Andy Stone filed a $20 million lawsuit against Mariah Carey in a California court on Monday, claiming her hit holiday song “All I Want for Christmas is You” infringes on his copyright. Fox News writes about it.
Stone, the lead singer of Vince Vance and the Valiants, co-wrote a song called All I Want for Christmas is You in 1989. Stone accused Carey and his team of copying the “compositional structure” of his song

“Carey benefited from the success of her groundbreaking work. All I Want for Christmas Is You became a ubiquitous part of popular culture, and Carey’s name became synonymous with the era,” complained Stone. states.
