In court the actual earnings of the hit "Blurred lines" are revealed.. Pharrell Williams told a Los Angeles jury Wednesday he was trying to evoke the feel of Marvin Gaye's music but didn't copy the late singer's work when he crafted the 2013 hit "Blurred Lines."
“Blurred Lines” made $16,675,690 in profits, according to an accounting statement both sides of the lawsuit agree with. Of that, $5,658,214 went to Thicke — a lot of money for someone who testified that he was drunk and high on Vicodin in the studio and didn’t really help write the song. $5,153,457 went to Pharrell Williams (who has said it was Thicke’s voice that made the song what it was), $707,774 went to T.I. and the rest went to the various record companies behind the songs, according to The Hollywood Reporter
