Query: Thief

Brian denies stealing the melody of his biggest hit ("Anytime," 1997) from 1993's "Outside Your Door" by Meshell Ndegeocello (listen to a sample at ASIN B0027GYP8S). The song "Talk To Me," which gives credit to Meshell under her birth name, was published in 1991 byVoyceboxing. You will find the same melody on "Talk To Me" (1991), which also appears on "Outside Your Door" on Meshell's 1993 debut albumPlantation Lullabies. Brian's rip off was released several years later in 1997. Ever since then, McKnight has denied the theft of Meshell Ndegeocello's melody from "Outside Your Door" -- the part of the song that makes "Anytime" so popular.It's been nearly 15 years. You would think at some point Mr. McKnight would want to clear his conscience and do the right thing.
