Blurred lines- Marvin Gayes family had gone court on grounds
that the two artistes had in fact stolen from “Got to give up”

Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams have long denied stealing their hit track Blurred Lines from Marvin Gaye’s song Got To Give It Up, but now a court has found in favour of Gaye’s estate.

Thicke, who became a household name for the track and the song’s producer, Oscar-nominee Pharrell Williams, have been ordered to pay out nearly Sh 700 million to the Gaye family after a jury found that the hitmakers had infringed on the late star’s copyright for the 1977 song.
