Music and movie star Jamie Foxx is facing a lawsuit from country singer-songwriter Michael A Johnson, who claims that the Oscar winning actor stole a song of his. Foxx's ballad 'Heaven', says Johnson, is a reworking of his song 'One Of God's Angels Went AWOL'.
Filing court papers in Detroit, Johnson says he copyrighted the song before sending it round to record companies, one of which was Foxx's J Records, and accuses Foxx of changing the lyrics and title before recording it as his own track. Johnson says: "I feel abused and outraged to think that someone of Jamie Foxx's stature would stoop to steal my song."
