Marvin Gaye's kids say they are considering filing another lawsuit against Pharrell Williams for copyright infringement. This time Gaye's kids say they are taking aim at the Pharrell's song "Happy," claiming it has a striking resemblance to Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar."
Gaye's daughter Nona broke the news speaking with CBS and said, "I'm not going to lie. I do think they sound alike."
She added, "Inspiration's fine, but the line is when you decide to take the complete and utter essence out of the song. When you take all the meat, and leave the bones,"
Marvin's ex-wife Janice added however, "We're not in that space. We're just in the moment today and we're satisfied."
