The son of soul singer Lou Rawls is suing the son of another soul legend - Marvin Gaye - over allegations relating to an incident at the latter's Hollywood home back in 2005. Lou Rawls Jr alleges that he was attacked by "four large dogs" during a visit to the LA home of Marvin Gaye III. The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, claims that Gaye's dogs "bit, clawed and physically and mentally injured" Rawls, causing him to suffer "loss of blood, tearing of flesh, multiple dog bite wounds, fear of disease" and other injuries. It is not clear why Rawls, whose father died more or less exactly a year ago, has taken so long to launch proceedings in relation to the 2005 attack.
