Will 2013's 'Song Of The Summer' Land In Court?

Lawyers Get Involved

A lawsuit is simmering over the "song of the summer" -- ROBIN THICKE's "Blurred Lines" reports THE NEW YORK POST. The paper writes THICKE, "along with PHARRELL WILLIAMS and CLIFFORD HARRIS JR. filed the lawsuit THURSDAY against [MARVIN] GAYE's family and BRIDGEPORT MUSIC."

The move is in response to threatened legal action on the part of GAYE's family and BRIDGEPORT, claiming the song has similarities between GAYE's "Got To Give It Up" and FUNKADELIC's "Sexy Ways," which BRIDGEPORT represents.

THE POST notes, "the lawsuit says THICKE, WILLIAMS and HARRIS JR. have 'the utmost respect for and admiration of MARVIN GAYE, FUNKADELIC and their musical legacies,' but must 'reluctantly file this action in the face of multiple adverse claims from alleged successors in interest to those artists'."
