Robin Thicke Sues Marvin Gaye Family

Robin Thicke is suing Marvin Gaye's family saying that Marvins music is simular to Thicke's. Thick says his songs are original. I heard about this on HLN news, and it shocked me. All the commontion is over Thicke's song "Blurred Lines" and Gayes Funkadlics songs. How can Robin Thicke sue Marvin Gaye! Marvin is a legend to say the least. This man payved the way for people like Whitney Houston and Micheal Jackson, who then made way for new artist like Robin Thicke. Sounds to me like Robin Thicke is not grateful for that nor does he appreciate and know "Real Music".
Robin has had some hits that even I liked. Its his voice that sets him apart, not the beats or his performance. But if you look at him closely he has a style of Prince or MJ when it comes to clothes and hair. His sound is that of a soul performer. What I do not like about Robin and so many other new artist is that they have forgotten where soul and R&B have come from. New artist just throw together these albumns quicks as can be and toss them on the shelves. Heck I can't even remember when I last brought an albumn because there's no sense in supporting par music. I miss the days of driving down the street and you start screaming in your car because that's yo jam on the radio! The songs people made love to, or those songs that just take you back.
What's happining to the industry and can it be saved?
Id like to say thank you to Marvins family and Marvin Gaye himself for creating soul music unlike any other artisit of his time. He was original and unique, if not for him and others who knows where music would be. Its because of songs like Rollin' Stone that we have music of todays time.
