MARVIN GAYE’S FAMILY ATTEMPTS TO STOP ‘BLURRED LINES’
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Marvin Gaye’s family wants to put the brakes on “Blurred Lines.” Gaye’s children filed a motion in court this week to prevent distribution and performance of the hit featuring Pharrell, Robin Thicke and T.I. Last week, a jury determined the song was copied from Gaye’s 1977 hit “Got to Give It Up.” Gaye’s adult children were awarded nearly 7.4-million dollars in damages.
