Just last March a jury ruled that Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I. copied part of Marvin Gaye's hit 'Got To Give It Up' and the family of late singer was awarded $5.3 million. Now Nona and Frankie Gaye, Marvin's daughter and son, want another $3.4 million!
Marvin Gaye's sisters are extremely upset because Marvin's ex-wife has cut them out of the $7.3 million settlement that was won in their suit against Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke for the hit song "Blurred Lines."
The “Blurred Lines” case has been a hot topic ever since the Marvin Gaye family won a $7.3 million judgment against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams.

A week after being found guilty in the “Blurred Lines” trial, Pharrell Williams finally speaks out about the jury’s $7.4 million verdict that he, along with Robin Thicke, must pay to the Marvin Gaye estate.
After walking away with a legal victory, the Marvin Gaye estate has filed additional motions asking a judge to amend the jury’s verdict to include penalties for all parties involved including T.I. and the record labels connected to the hit song “Blurred Lines.”
Marvin Gaye's family are denying reports that they are planning to sue Pharrell Williams over "Happy," which they claim sounds similar to Gaye's classic song, "Ain't That Peculiar."
After a lengthy legal battle, the Marvin Gaye family has come out victorious in their copyright-infringement case against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams. On Tuesday (March 10), a California federal jury found Thicke and Williams guilty of copying Gaye’s 1977 song “Got to Give It Up” for their 2013 hit “Blurred Lines.”
Rarely has an album title been less appropriate. There was nothing ‘Easy’ about the third, and final, LP of duets between Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
