http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/articl...rvin-gaye-song
Ed Sheeran song has been compressed and Marvin Gayes estate has enhanced it which shows it maybe similar? |

Marvin's family are always pointing the finger and taking people to court. How many times is this now?

Well it isn't Ed's fault as he never produced it. Jake Gosling did.

I pray it goes to court & gets thrown out. These lawyers - Americans in particular - are beyond mercenary...

It does sound the same. The first time I heard it I sung "Let's Get it On" straight away. Thought it was just me.

![]() I'm sure there are lots of other lesser well known songs which have the same chord progressions as Gaye's songs. Pop music has been around a long time now, it's inevitable that similarities will crop up more and more. Personally I don't think the Ed Sheeran song sounds enough like Gaye's but they did have a point with Blurred Lines. |

I wonder if Gayes estate has heard Loving You by Paolo Nutini?
It sounds more similar than the Sheeran song but probably made only a fraction of the money! |

Actually, it isn't Marvin Gaye's family who are bringing this case, it is Ed Townsend's family, Ed wrote Let's Get it ON.
