James Blunt...the "You're Beautiful" singer...is being sued by Linda "4 Non Blondes" Perry

To Be Blunt -- You Effed Me

Posted Mar 7th 2008 2:49PM by TMZ Staff

The record producer who discovered James Blunt -- the "You're Beautiful" dude -- says she did all the work to make Blunt's multi-platinum "Back to Bedlam" album a huge success -- and Warner Music screwed her.

In court papers filed in New York, Linda Perry -- ex-singer for 4 Non Blondes, 'memba them? -- says she signed the whiner back in 2003, and did "tireless promotion" for "Back to Bedlam," even though Warner Music was lukewarm on it. Then the album exploded, grossing over $100 mil for Warner.

Perry says that's when things got ugly, claiming the big label reworked its deal with Blunt behind her back, and screwed her out of more than $5 mi.

A Warner rep said that Perry "has always been and will continue to be compensated in accordance with the terms of its contractual arrangement with Atlantic."

1. Linda Perry is amazing, and she is a star maker

Pink was a special project of hers.

We have a private recording of Linda Pewrry singing "Joey" and you can hear her having to move back from the mike because her voice is so strong.

I am thinking this is probably a win for her.

I wish I had half her voice, and that she would write a tune for me.

2. It's Warner and Atlantic, not Blunt, being sued

Both sides agree Blunt had nothing to do with the dispute.

4. Linda Perry does Robert Plant better than Plant does.
