Michael Bolton vs The Isley Brothers

The Isley brothers, in 1966 wrote a song called "Love  Is a Wonderful Thing". As did Michael Bolton 25 years later, named "Love Is A Wonderful Thing", published in 1991. The Isley Brothers sued Michael for partially stealing parts of the song. I listened to both of these songs, and i could hear the parts that the Isley Brothers were talking about. It was during the chorus of the song. By the looks of things, the Isley Brothers won the case and were rewarded 5.4 Million dollars, making this the largest reward in history of copyright.
