MARVIN GAYE - Ain't That PeculIAR

3/13/2015

In 1965 Marvin Gaye released Ain't That Peculiar, and it wasn't long before it became his signature song. The song was written for him by Smokey Robinson and Marv Tarplin - the Miracles' guitarist. The song was a follow-up to I'll Be Doggone, which was also written for Gaye by Robinson. The two songs were Gaye's first million selling records, and both songs featured Smokey Robinson's group The Miracles on backup vocals and guitar. Ain't That Peculiar , like many of Gaye's songs, has been sampled and covered numerous times. Usually the music is credited to Gaye, and the rights are licensed through Gaye's family. In March, 2015 the family of Marvin Gaye was awarded $7.5 million in a copyright infringement lawsuit against producer and singer Pharrell Williams for stealing elements from Gaye's Got To Give It Up for the 2013 hit song Blurred Lines. After winning the lawsuit, the family of Gaye is reported to be considering another lawsuit against Pharrell. In 2013 Pharrell also released the song Happy - that song sounds peculiarly like Gaye's Ain't That Peculiar. Parrell's number one song Happy earned the heavily decorated singer/producer an Academy Award and a Grammy.  VIEW HAPPY HERE
