So this post is a dedication to one track (with a bonus), more than focusing on multiple songs by an artist, because we feel that the track “Somebody’s Watchin’ Me,” is the best track to ever come from the 80′s R&B singer Rockwell, (born Kennedy William Gordy on March 15, 1964 in Detroit, Michigan). Rockwell is a former R&B performer who was signed to the Motown label.

The coolest part about this track, which you may or may not remember, is the fact that he got Michael Jackson to sing on the chorus. Plus, Jackson fit into the track really nicely. Of course, that’s just complimenting Michael Jackson’s ability as a musician, which is pretty trite by this point in time. However, we recently noticed that the track is featured in Geico commercials, which reminded us of the fact that we were revisiting this song way back in March 2007, so we were ahead of the curve on that one. That tends to be the case though. For instance, when Jaguar featured a track in 2006 by artist Prefuse 73 (a post with highlights forthcoming) from the Prefuse record “Surrounded By Silence,” we had first heard and actively listened to in early 2005. So, Jaguar can suck it.
