He is most well known for his hit 1984 single "Somebody's Watching Me", which features Michael Jackson on chorus vocals.
Kennedy William Gordy is the son of Motown founder and CEO Berry Gordy and Margaret Norton.
His father named him Kennedy William after John F. Kennedy and William "Smokey" Robinson.
To avoid the appearance of nepotism, Gordy secured his record deal without his father's knowledge.
Motown proposed the name of Rockwell and Gordy agreed to the change because he believed that he "rocked well."
In 1984, Rockwell released his most successful single "Somebody's Watching Me", with childhood friend Michael Jackson singing the chorus lyrics and Jermaine Jackson singing backing vocals.
"Somebody's Watching Me" became a RIAA gold-certified #2 song in the U.S. and peaked at #6 in the UK.
It held #1 on Billboard's R&B chart for five weeks.
Follow-up singles underperformed, and "Obscene Phone Caller" became Rockwell's only other Top 40 single.
It reached #35 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Rockwell released two more albums before ending his musical career with Motown.
Rockwell was not the first member of the Gordy family to hit Billboard's Hot 100 as a recording artist.
Since the 1990s, Rockwell has left music to focus on charity work, such as the Special Olympics, the American Cancer Society, and the United Negro College Fund.
Rockwell's paternal half-sister is actress Rhonda Ross Kendrick, the eldest child of Diana Ross.
He is also closely related to the group LMFAO through his half-brother Redfoo (Stephen Kendal Gordy, son of Berry Gordy and Nancy Leiviska) and his half-nephew Sky Blu (Skyler Austen Gordy, son of his half-brother Berry Gordy IV and his wife Valerie Robeson).
In 2013, he filed for divorce.
