Morris Day remade this for the Eddie Murphy movie "The Haunted Mansion". That is Michael Jackson singing the chorus and Jermaine is on background vocals. At the time, Jermaine was married to Rockwell's sister Hazel Gordy. Rockwell had another Top 10 hit on the R&B chart called "Obscene Phone Caller", which is on the same album as this track.

@scottNNJ 2 года назад

MISLED is not the most popular Kool and the Gang song, but it’s my favorite. The album, Emergency, also has sentimental value to me… when I was about 11 or 12 years old, my family found ourselves without a house to live in and we lived with my grandparents for awhile. My grandfather bought me that cassette and enclosed a note to “stay kool in an emergency”. I wish I still had that note… I was too young at the time to know what it, and he, would mean later in life.

@smbmiller655 2 года назад

Thank you for reacting to this gem of a song! Berry Gordy Sr. told Jr. that the song was not a hit. Rockwell took the song to his friends (the Jackson 5) and Michael sang the hook, Jermaine (Rockwell's then brother-in-law played the bass). Maybe Randy played the keyboards, and Tito played guitar...not sure about that...but Mike & Jermaine for sure contributed to the song. Rockwell is still proud of their efforts on this cut.

"Somebody's Watching Me" is a song recorded by American singer Rockwell, released by the Motown label in 1984, as the lead single from his debut studio album of the same name. Rockwell's debut single release, the song features guest vocals by brothers Michael Jackson (in the chorus) and Jermaine Jackson (additional backing vocals). Rockwell is a son of Motown CEO Berry Gordy. At the time of the recording, Rockwell was estranged from his father and living with Ray Singleton, his father's ex-wife and the mother of his older half-brother, Kerry Gordy. Singleton served as executive producer on the project and would occasionally play some demo tracks to Berry. The elder Gordy was less than enthusiastic about Rockwell's music until he heard the single with Michael Jackson's familiar voice featuring prominently on background vocals.

You'll like this - Motown was founded by a man named Berry Gordy. Rockwell, whose real name is Kennedy Gordy, is Berry's son. This was his only real hit (though he did have a follow-up, "Obscene Phone Caller", that got mild airplay). And yes, that is Michael Jackson himself doing the background vocals. Michael's brother, Jermaine, is also on the record.

He is the son of Motown founder Berry Gordy. Only had a couple songs. This is his only major hit.

"Obscene Phone Caller" peaked at #35 so actually he had two hits in the top 40. Maybe a two hit wonder.

@@lreed1040 I wouldn't call 35 a MAJOR hit.

When I first heard this song when it first came out I knew immediately that was the great Michael Jackson. Thought it was his song. Come on people. Who else can sing like him.

It's lovely watching reactions from guys like you who have no idea about the track you're dipping into. Yeah, MJ did vocals on this track. It's a classic!
