has Rockwell totally fallen off the face of the earth? this dude has totally disappeared
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 | |

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? PRINCE: Always and Forever

80s Pop song of the day: "OBSCENE PHONE CALLER" by Rockwell (1984)
I like the slick,New Wave pop sound of this song.It's fun and very catchy! | |

ive got all 3 of his LP's on Vinyl.
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] | |

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...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...erry_Gordy He even worked at Paisley Park Records in the early 90s. | |

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. | |

No, he's Kenny Gordy. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...(musician) Yup, he's Kennedy. Kerry is another Gordy son who was also involved in music. | |

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? | |

This funk is a serious joint | |

[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 is a four letter word. | |

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 is a four letter word. | |
