The problem I have with Amos is that after the release of Little
Earthquakes she flatly denied ever having heard any of Kate's work.
IMHO, this may be true!  But in that case, her producer certainly has
heard and was heavily influenced by Kate's work.

Personally, I think that credit should be given where credit is due.
There's no shame in admitting another artist's influence.
