NEW YORK — With Ed Sheeran on the witness stand in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday during a copyright trial, jurors were warned to keep their composure while watching a video of the British pop star performing a medley of his hit song 'Thinking Out Loud' and the classic Marvin Gaye tune 'Let's Get it On.' 'We don't allow dancing,' U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton instructed the seven-member jury. Lawyers for heirs of songwriter Ed Townsend, Gaye's co-writer on the 1973 hit, showed the video to bolster their allegation that Sheeran, his label Warner Music Group and music publisher Sony Music Publishing owe them a share of the profits for allegedly copying the song.
