Marvin Gaye was less successful in the UK where he managed to score only a handful of hits during his lifetime. This is one of only 4 Top 10 UK solo hits Marvin achieved. In recent years the song became central to a plagiarism case involving Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke who were accused of using it in large part on their massive international hit Blurred Lines.

WOW - what an amazing record! Classic Marvin Gaye awesomeness complete with the funkiest funk imaginable - You would be such a fool not to like such an incredible tune.

Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke to pay $7.4m to Marvin Gaye's family over Blurred Lines Wednesday 11 March 2015
Jury decides Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke copied 1977 hit Got to Give It Up in lawsuit filed by Gaye’s children
Comment: The Blurred Lines verdict proves only one thing: you can’t second-guess a jury
Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams’ Blurred Lines infringed Marvin Gaye copyright, court rules – reported
Associated Press in Los Angeles
Marvin Gaye’s daughter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was being read and was hugged by her attorney, Richard Busch.
“Right now, I feel free,” Nona Gaye said after the verdict. “Free from ... Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke’s chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told.”
The verdict could tarnish the legacy of Williams, a reliable hit-maker who has won Grammy awards and appears on NBC’s music competition show The Voice.
An attorney for Thicke and Williams has said a decision in favor of Gaye’s heirs could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or another artist’s sound.
The Gayes’ lawyer branded Williams and Thicke liars who went beyond trying to emulate the sound of Gaye’s late-1970s music and copied the R&B legend’s hit Got to Give It Up outright.
