you would think by being Barry Gordy's son you would hear about him a little more especially for a guy who had such a big hit hell there hasn't even been a new picture of him since like 1987 i have wondered about this so many times. i even said today i wonder if he went to the memorial service for mj today. did mj write somebody's watching me?? | |

Give it a few minutes... LOL, even if it's not MJ related it'll get locked. Remember that Randy and Jermaine topic, locked, for what? MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever

Isn't his real name Kerry Gordy? If so,he's been really busy since he's 80s,working behind-the-scenes on several musical ventures...

Rockwell had a few cool jams,but he wasn't much of a singer,was he? He just talked his way through the songs,without really singing at all.The best part of "Somebody's Watching Me" is the sung chorus by Michael Jackson. | |

I think Rockwell (aka Kennedy Gprdy) got into the production side of things after having some perfomring success. After all, that's where the money is, right? | |

I like the slick,New Wave pop sound of this song.It's fun and very catchy! I liked this one and He's a Cobra on the follow up album but i've never been moved to purchase his albums. Bone made me stand up and get into the groove | |

I also have his first album on CD, some korean import. The first CD is excellent, the second and third album's are quite funky too. You can listen to them here: http://bentleyfunk2.blogs...-1986.html http://bentleyfunk2.blogs...-1985.html Check out "Carme", and "Baby On The Corner", and many others. I'm surprised the second and third albums didn't do too well, as they are quite brilliantly produced, plenty of synths and catchy hooks. Yeah, Rockwell seemed to have the same "paranoia" type topics in his songs like MJ did. I wonder what he looks like now, I haven't seen a single picture of him apart from those 80s ones. Somebody must surely know what he's up to and what he is doing these days. Jermaine Jackson was married to his sister, so i'm sure there must be some pics around. [Edited 7/8/09 5:02am] omg i have all 3 too! they are the bomb. i love how new wave and synth he was. rockwell is the bomb!! i think his first album is a classic. the second was hot too but the 3rd was a bit weird anda little weaker. love me some rockwel!! | |

[Edited 7/8/09 5:02am] I have Rockwell's third album and I found it to be very derivative of Prince's sound from a few years earlier. (He even references "Sugar Walls" in the first song.) A few songs are okay if I want to hear some watered-down Minneapolis funk, but overall I didn't like it. | |

Hell no, he hasn't fallen off the face of the earth. He fell into my mouth right after that towel came off and he's been here ever since. Andy has spoken dammitt. | |

How hairy is he?  If you recall, I said he's been here ever since, so what do you think? Oh honey, thick bush, hairy balls, and even a few little tiny hairs growing up the underside of the shaft. Andy has spoken dammitt. | |
