About the right arm comment Berry made at the memorial, it is very intriguing to say the least.. :roll:

In business terms, in french any way dont know about english, to be someone's right arm is to be the primary assistant, the one who handles everything for you while you are taking care of business. So if we take it in this sense what could it mean what Berry said?

This phrase is also common in german in the same sense.
The right arm/hand is often also legitimated to sign for the person that empowered him/her.

What kid wouldn't give his right arm to fulfill his wildest dreams? -

Assuming that the "right arm" was Rockwell, and the "kid" was Michael, I´d say that Rockwell got sacrificed in a way.
But maybe quite the reverse and Berry Gordy refers with "the kid" to Rockwell (his son) who switched his former position as the right arm of Michael? - Not sure...   :|

I think there is a connection, not sure if Kenneth is the official
double or twin if there is one.
I find a article that is a little satirical in its nature, but the author
is basically saying that now Michael gone, Rockwell can make
his comeback.  :|
Will try to find the link.

Michael Jackson's legacy: Now that Jacko's gone, can Rockwell finally get some attention?
 December 09, 2009 10:36 AM EST (Updated: December 09, 2009 10:55 AM EST)
 views: 619 |  comments: 8
The latest Geico insurance commercials feature the song, "Somebody's Watching Me," by one-hit wonder Rockwell.  It's a familiar number that was often mistaken for a Michael Jackson song, and Rockwell even had a similar vibe as Jacko.
But, in actuality, Michael Jackson was a childhood friend of Rockwell (Kenneth Gordy)and sang backup on the 1983 release along with brother Jermaine Jackson.
 Watching the video when it was in heavy rotation, who did not ponder if Rockwell could be the next Jacko? A guy at the neighborhood record store declared Rockwell as "the U.K.'s answer to Michael Jackson." Turns out he was wrong about Rockwell not being American. Maybe Rockwell is one of those artists who was more popular somewhere else, like Cher in England, Cheap Trick in Japan or Corey Hart in Canada, eh?
It was difficult to catch up on Rockwell before Wikipedia was born. Bur our prayers are finally answered. Now, we've learned, Rockwell actually got on the Motown label on his own merits and without the help of relatives who were already established in the business. Turns out he had more than one tune that made the Top 40 ("Obscene Phone Caller" made it to No. 35). And apparently his intent wasn't to be just a cheap imitation of Michael Jackson.
Still, someone has got to fill the void. So how about it Rockwell? Care to claim what is rightfully yours?  If not you, who else? Come out, come out where ever you are....

Here is expected fanatic comment to article above,he say "and why would you write about Rockwell"! and then underneath
Aaron's response.  Nothing really here, but thought it of some interest
that Rockwell was discussed.
It sort of humorous, but gives me the continuance of weird vibes too.

 STOP CALLING HIM JACKO FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?? IT'S SO RUDE, HIS NAME IS MICHAEL JACKSON IT'S LIKE THE EASIEST NAME IN THE WORLD TO SPELL!!!OR CALL HIM MJ THAT'S EVEN EASIER BECAUSE YOUR OBVIOUSLY ALITTLE SLOW, NO ONE CAN FILL THE VOID MICHAEL LEFT AND WHY WOULD YOU WRITE ABOUT ROCKWELL, HE'S SO INSIGNIFICANT WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC, HOW CAN HE DO ANYTHING NOTEWORTHY NOW??? HOW COULD HE TAKE MICHAEL'S SPOT IDIOT. HIS SISTER JANET IS SOMEONE WHO WILL CARRY ON THE JACKSON LEGACY!!

 My question for all of you is: WILL you get in on the ground floor when Rockwell makes him comeback, or will you just jump on the bandwagon later?

So one last comment I forgot to make earlier on.
WHY wasn't Rockwell at funeral or memorial.  Or if he was, my
mistake, as I could not recognize him?  Did anyone recognize
him?

I was in the postoffice paying some bills this morning and this song comes on.  I work in a mall and have done for many years and I know all the music that is played for people as they shop  and  I'm familiar with the order that they are played in knowing  what is going to come on next. And out of the blue today Somebody's watching me comes on. What the?

I vaguely remember reading a couple of stories-or theories-concerning this Rockwell. 1)He died and 2)He assumed MJ's identity in the early 90's because MJ was either unwilling or unable to continue in the spotlight. It really piques my curiosity as it is impossible to dig for any information on this Rockwell (Kennedy/Kenneth William Gordy).  Someone out there who has the capacity to really check into this should do so. I think it may provide us some answers.

It is very odd we cant find anything on Rockwell, his father is Berry Gordy after all!!! And Rockwell use to be in the public's eye. It just makes absolutely no sense at all!! IMO :roll:
