Robin Thicke Hands Over More Writing Credits to Marvin Gaye


Before losing the verdict in the Marvin Gaye Blurred Lines lawsuit Robin Thicke quietly handed over the writing credits for his hit single Million Dollar Baby to Marvin Gaye…

 From Showbiz 411
...Robin Thicke used Marvin Gaye’s “Trouble Man” for his own song “Million Dolla Baby” in 2009. That song was credited on Thicke’s album and everywhere else to Robin Thicke and Andre Harrell. Gaye’s name was later added to the Wikipedia entry. But the song is 100% “Trouble Man.”
Now a check of ASCAP’s data base reveals that Thicke and Harrell’s names are off the credits. “Million Dolla Baby” has only Marvin Gaye listed as its author. The song’s numerical code is much higher than most of Gaye’s catalog, including “Trouble Man.” This means it was entered more recently.
