An explosive new tell-all book to be released by Marvin Gaye's Ex-Wife

The late great Marvin Gaye's ex-wife, Jan Gaye, wrote an autobiography titled, After The Dance: My Life With Marvin Gaye. The book is scheduled to be released shortly by Amistad Books, which is an imprint of Harper Collins Publishers. The autobiography details sexual deviant behavior, drugs, and anxiety and the tumultuous love affair they shared starting when she was just seventeen years old. In many states, 17-year-old is considered a minor.

Jan Gaye also describes sexual interactions with Marvin Gaye's celebrity friends that include Frankie Beverly and Ryan O'Neal that Marvin orchestrated and condoned.

This tell-all is being released directly following the settlement of the hit song, Blurred Lines, by Robin Thicke and produced by Pharell Williams which was a basic remake of Gaye's Got to Give it Up, where Jan Gaye sang background vocals.

According to reports, Jan Gaye and her family received 7.3 million dollars in the copyright lawsuit. So why is there a need for a tell-all book?

In this episode of What's The 411, the panel of Kizzy Cox, Jacinda Motton, Rita Obi, an Glenn Gilliam are talking about:

The children of the late R&B singer, Marvin Gaye, have filed papers for a summary judgment in a lawsuit over the Robin Thicke song, Blurred Lines.

There have been celebrity responses to the Ray Rice incident. Singer Chris Brown, who had his share of abuse, offered this advice: "Ray (Rice) or anybody else, because I'm not better than the next man, I can just say I've been down that road and I've dealt with situations and made my mistakes, too. But it's all about how you push forward and how you control yourself."

ON THE CARPET

It's obvious. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should be called on the carpet primarily because of his declaration that he, nor anyone within the NFL, had seen the Ray Rice elevator video before TMZ SPORTS released the video to the public on September 8th.

Billboard is reporting that Robin Thicke's team offered a six-figure sum to members of Marvin Gaye's family in order to preempt a copyright infringement showdown, but the family turned it down.

The story cites that a settlement offer came after Frankie Christian Gaye, Marvin Gaye III and Nona Marvisa Gaye accused Thicke's Blurred Lines hit single of plagiarizing Got to Give it Up, written and composed by their father Marvin Gaye.

Not leaving anything to chance, Thicke, along with Blurred Lines co-writers Pharrell Williams and Clifford Harris, Jr., filed a lawsuit on August 15 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles requesting a ruling that Blurred Lines does not infringe on the copyright of Got to Give It Up.

Since George Clinton isn't too happy with Thicke either, Thicke's legal team also requested a similar judgment with regard to another accusation, by Bridgeport Music Inc., that Blurred Lines infringed on George Clinton's Sexy Ways.

During an interview with GQ magazine in May about his career and the making of Blurred Lines, Thicke said, "one of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up. I was like, 'Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove.' Then he started playing a little something and we literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it. The whole thing was done in a couple hours."

It will be interesting to see how the court rules, particularly if the judge(s) has ever heard Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up prior to the release of Blurred Lines.

Marvin Gaye died on April 1, 1984.
