"Kingston Town" is a 1970 song by Lord Creator. It was covered in 
1990 by reggae group UB40 and was the second single from their 1989 
album Labour of Love II, reaching #4 on the UK singles chart.

In June 2007, the copyright holders of the song, Sparta Florida Music
 Group, started legal action against Paris Hilton and Warner Chappell 
Music for plagiarism due to alleged similarities between "Kingston Town"
 and Hilton's song "Stars Are Blind". It has wrongly been stated that 
UB40 was the suing party, but that has been denied by the band on their website.[1]
