Stevie Wonder has commented on the 'Blurred Lines' vs 'Got To Give It Up' court case. According to musicnews.com, the music legend says the court made the wrong decision.

'I don't think it's a steal from Marvin Gaye,' Wonder told TMZ. 'I've been through lawsuits for songs and all that. I think that the groove is very similar but you have to remember he is a big fan of Marvin Gaye's so that's okay. But the song is not like Marvin Gaye's. It is not the same'.

lAST week Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were ordered to pay the family of Marvin Gaye $7.4 million for ripping of Gaye's 70s soul classic 'Got To Give It Up' with their 2014 hit 'Blurred Lines'.

Wonder doesn't think the ruling was the end and that next time it could go ugly for the Gaye family. 'If the family should hear this, don't let your lawyer get you into losing money on some of the crap out there,' he said.

Williams and Thicke will now seek an appeal.


Howard King, acting for Williams and Thicke, said in a statement, 'We owe it to song writers around the world to make sure this verdict doesn't stand,' King said. 'My clients know that they wrote the song 'Blurred Lines' from their hearts and souls and no other source.'

The Gaye family is currently investigating the similarity between Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' and Marvin Gaye's 'Ain't That Peculiar'.
