Thank you for that link. Paris is spitting images of the kid on the left?
I know the "story" they gave, but I think it odd that Michael went to live
with Diana Ross.  It even strange, that Joe the father, in his control of
family, would LET Michael go live with Diana Ross.
And then, Jermaine marries Gordy's other daugther, thinking probably it would
get HIM ahead in the game.
The lyrics to Rockwell's songs, scream Michael to me.  
They may put a quick spin on this Rockwell, but there is something to this
I believe.

Thank you for posting this. :D  Could it be though? Could Michael be Gordy's child? That is what is being insinuated on MJHD isn't it? I dont know what to think of this. :?

Definetly though, there's something up with this rockwell dude! IMO 8-)

Two of Rockwell's songs are featured on "The Last Dragon" 1985.

Also, there is a Ken Gordy Ford in CA!   Anyone want to call to find out
if him?

OK, This is getting a little crazy!   Please read below:

Kerry Gordy has been totally involved in the recording industry. His career began in 1973 working in the Motown Records mailroom. The early years of his career were spent in various administrative and creative capacities. In order for Kerry to separate himself at Motown from his father Berry, he changed his professional name to Kerry Ashby. During the 80's decade, any professional work done by Kerry was under the name "Kerry Ashby".
In 1984, as Motown’s A & R (Artist and Repertoire) representative, Kerry re-created himself as the British-accented artist persona Rockwell with the duet with Michael Jackson called “Somebody’s Watching Me,”[2] which became a huge hit for Motown. He was then promoted to the coveted position of Director of A&R, where he worked on projects with Gold and Platinum artists such as The Temptations, The Four Tops, Rick James and Billy Preston among others. He also worked on compilation albums for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. He became a Senior Executive for the Gordy Company (his father’s company after selling Motown) in 1988 where he was responsible for supervising Business Affairs, A&R, Product Development, Administration and Personnel. Between 1991 and 1993 Kerry consulted Al Bell’s independently distributed label, Bellmark Records. This union culminated with $26 million in sales and yielded the year’s biggest international smash hit, “Whoomp! (There It Is)" by the group "Tag Team" [3].

Kerry’s mother, Raynoma, was a child prodigy in music and played eleven instruments. She orchestrated the first arrangements for Motown. Kerry lived with his mother until the age of 13. Kerry followed in his mother’s footsteps and plays several instruments as well. Kerry then moved to Los Angeles with his father Berry and became one of his father’s many protégés.

This would more likely fit the earlier theory.  :roll:  :roll:

Here's my question...
Who recorded the song ...Somebody's Watching Me under the name Rockwell...Kerry (Ashby) Gordy or Kennedy Gordy?

 I was always under the impression that it was Kennedy Gordy yet the wiki  entry leads us to believe that it was really Kerry. BTW - are there pictures of Kerry? We do have a few early ones of Kennedy.

Nothing really, not that I've found anyway. I googled the name and only come up with the one for the sleeve of his cd somebody's watching me. It is all very mysterious and suspicious to me. :roll:
