Ben is the ninth album by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben, released in 1972. The album has one of Jorge Ben's most famous songs, "Taj Mahal", and "Fio Maravilha", paying homage to Flamengo's iconic striker Fio Maravilha. A copyright infringement lawsuit by Jorge Ben claimed Rod Stewart's song Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? had been derived from "Taj Mahal". The case was "settled amicably" according to Jorge Ben Jor. Stewart admits "unconscious plagiarism" of Ben's tune in his 2012 autobiography.
All songs composed by Jorge Ben.
