Robin Thicke & Pharrell Williams Lose ‘Blurred Lines’ Lawsuit: Award Marvin Gaye’s Children 7.4 Million
Williams, who estimated that he’d written thousands of songs throughout his career, said the song may have had the “feel” of Gaye, but that the song was wholly original.
During the trial, financial details behind “Blurred Lines,” were released. The song brought in $5.6 million for Thicke, $5.2 million for Williams and another $5 million to $6 million for the record company, as well as an additional $8 million in publishing revenue.
According to reports, Robin nor Pharrell were present. Marvin Gaye’s daughter, Nona, was present and was said to be ‘sobbing’ while the verdict was read. Outside the court, Nona said:
Right now, I feel free. Free from … Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke’s chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told.

Anyone with EARS can hear that they clearly STOLE THAT SONG. The Gaye family, particularly Marvin’s oldest son, is the legendary Berry Gordy’s nephew. This is NOT a case of a “greedy family” of loafers who are just out for money. They’ve been around the music biz for awhile now and know the ends and out of musicians ripping off beats to make a song. Pharrell and Robin Thicke even SAID they were “inspired” by the song…which is musician speak for stealing it. GOT TO GIVE IT UP!
@ Mama – – I agree. I grew up on Marvin Gaye and the minute I heard the song – – it was copied! This Sh$@ they are playing now is not music. They can sample a beat and say its original. You can tell we have lost generation(s) – – these kids glorify them. Boy(s)-Bye!!!! I hope she get every penny and more. George Clinton need to do the same thing – -sue them!
