Marvin Gaye’s children are not playing when it comes to their late fathers music. Marvin Gaye made tons of music in his days. I am still jamming off of that ‘Hear My Dear’. If you have never heard a Marvin Gaye song you are living under a rock.
His music is so relevant that his children are dragging everyone that had any dealing with Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines ft. T.I., Pharrell into court. Marvin has 2 sons and 1 daughter.
Sony was also pulled into the lawsuit as the children screamed foul play. But it looks like Sony has decided to cut the check.
According to CBS:
The Gayes had accused EMI of not pursuing a copyright infringement case against Thicke because “Blurred Lines” has similarities to Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up.”
A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday granted Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye’s dismissal of their lawsuit against EMI, which is owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Documents say the Gayes and Sony have an agreement and claims against Sony can’t be brought again. Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed.
Dueling lawsuits between the Gaye family and Thicke remain active.
Thicke and his collaborators T.I. and Pharrell Williams asked a federal judge in August to rule they didn’t copy “Got to Give It Up” for “Blurred Lines,” which is nominated for record of the year and other awards at the Jan. 26 Grammy Awards. Their song has sold 6.6 million tracks and was last year’s biggest hit. It spent 12 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
It looks like Sony know they were in the wrong or they just didn’t want them problems.
Do you think Robin Thicke should follow suit or hash it out in court? It ain’t like he don’t have the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Stay tuned.
This is one of my jams. (Explicit Lyrics)
