Rockwell
There are, at least, six artists known as Rockwell.
1) A pseudonym of Kenneth Gordy, from Detroit, Michigan: The son of Motown Records' founder, Berry Gordy, he changed his name so as to avoid charges of nepotism, wanting to make it in the music business on just his talent. He signed to Motown as a solo artist without his father's knowledge, taking his name from his high school band. His first single, the Michael Jackson-esque "Somebody's Watching Me".

He signed to Motown as a solo artist without his father's knowledge, taking his name from his high school band. His first single, the Michael Jackson-esque "Somebody's Watching Me". which featured backing vocals from both Michael and Jermaine Jackson, shot into the Top Ten, hit number one on the R&B charts, and also was RIAA certified as Gold.
Only then did he reveal his true identity. This, however, was his peak of success; his follow-up single fizzled, as did his next album. He continued to base his songs on themes of paranoia and spying, singing tracks such as "Obscene Phone Caller" and "Peeping Tom". Though receiving some airplay, Rockwell mostly faded from the public view and concentrated on working with his father.
A cover of "Somebody's Watching Me" by the dance act Beatfreakz was released in the U.K. in March 2006, peaking at number three on the U.K. Singles Chart. Yet another cover version of the song came out, by the heavy metal band Warmen, in 2005. The Swiss 90is artist DJ Bobo's first Hit was also a cover version of "Somebody's Watching Me". He turned it to "Somebody Dance With Me".
2) Thomas Green– aka ROCKWELL– has without question been one of the most exhilarating talents to come out of the drum and bass scene in recent times. His distinctive sound has seen him release on the likes of Digital Soundboy, Renegade Hardware, Critical and Darkestral, before signing exclusively to Friction’s Shogun Audio imprint.
Tracks such as ‘Underpass’, ‘Reverse Engineering’ and ‘4U’ have highlighted ROCKWELL as one of the most original and talented producers in bass music today. His productions are painstakingly constructed, beautifully arranged and thoughtfully mastered. Each track offers unique textures seldom heard in electronic music- let alone drum and bass- and his unmistakable signature sound is one of the few that works just as well in the living room as in the club.
2012 has seen ROCKWELL start the build-up to his debut album, due in early 2013. Tune of the year so far ‘Tripwire’ and ‘Constantcomplexrhythmicsound’ are bona fide dancefloor destroyers, whilst forthcoming remixes of Jubei and Netsky hint at a future away from the constraints of 170bpm.
As a DJ, ROCKWELL is starting to build a reputation for his eclectic sets, exemplified by his MoS and Rinse shows, and by his increasing tendency to drop Rustie tracks in his sets. Behind the decks as in the studio, you’re always kept guessing as to what he’s going to pull out of the bag next.
3) A German rock band:
4) An early power electronics group that had releases on Broken Flag.

5) Early works of a Dutch (Amsterdam) collective of electronic/ hip-hop musicians (including designer Piet Parra) are recorded under the name Rockwell. Limited availability.
6) A Hungarian rock band formed in 1979, featuring many members of later well-known Hungarian rock and heavy metal bands such as bass guitarist Imre Molnár (Irigy Hónaljmirigy), drummer László Tarca (Pokolgép), vocalist György Pazdera (Pokolgép as bass guitarist), or bass guitarist/vocalist Endre Paksi (earlier: Pokolgép; later: Ossian as vocalist only).

Somebody's Watching Me
Rockwell Lyrics
Who's watching?
Tell me, who's watching?
Who's watching me?
I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight zone and?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone, I'm trying to avoid
But can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That's why
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
(Who's watching me?)
I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me?
(Who's watching?)
Well, is the mailman watching me?
(Tell me who's watching?)
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now (who?), the IRS?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
(Who's watching me?)
I always feel like somebody's watching me (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
(Who's watching me?)
I always feel like somebody's watching me (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Can I have my privacy? (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?

This is so much funnier if you imagine he's telling this to his therapist
Therapist: if it's bothering you that much I can prescribe some medication, everyone feels anxious but if it's too much there are ways to mitigate the feeling
Rockwell: I don't know anymore! Are the neighbors watching me?!
Therapist: No..
Rockwell: Well is the mailman watching me!?!
Therapist: wel-
Rockwell" And I don't feel safe anymore! Oh what a mess! I wonder who's watching me now? The IRS?!?
Michael Jackson standing up from behind the chair: I always feel like somebody's watchin mee!!

Who's watching
Tell me who's watching
Who's watching me
I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from 9 to 5, hey hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone, in my average home
But why do I always feel
Like I'm in the Twilight Zone?
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bang the door real tight
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Or can the people on TV see me,
Or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower,
I'm afraid to wash my hair
Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there!
People say I'm crazy, just a little touch
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That's why...
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Who's playing tricks on me?
I don't know anymore!
Are the neighbours watching me?
Who's watching
Well is the mailman watching me?
Tell me who's watching
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now
Who?
The IRS?!
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Tell me is it just a dream
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Who's playing tricks on me?
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Oooh, whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Tell me, can it be?
I always feel like somebody's watching me

I was so confused when I heard Rockwell, who I didn’t know at the time, and then I heard Michael and I immediately knew
Gabriele Di Fazio
