Born Kennedy William Gordy, Rockwell is the son of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Motown+Records%22">Motown Records</a> founder <a href="spotify:artist:4xRLKAf96K6YdGDWjY6ra8">Berry Gordy</a>. He changed his name so as to avoid charges of nepotism, wanting to make it in the music business on his talent alone, and he signed to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Motown%22">Motown</a> as a solo artist without his father's knowledge. His first single, "Somebody's Watching Me," which featured backing vocals from both <a href="spotify:artist:3fMbdgg4jU18AjLCKBhRSm">Michael</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1VDurPMbOKrNU8mcMP4X1P">Jermaine Jackson</a>, was released in 1983, shot into the Top Ten, peaked at number two on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Billboard%22">Billboard</a>'s Hot 100, and went gold. His identity was eventually revealed. This, however, was his peak of success. The follow-up single, "Obscene Phone Caller," fizzled. Neither Captured (1985) nor The Genie (1986) fared well commercially, and Rockwell subsequently left the industry. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
