(1984)

"Somebody's Watching Me" é o single de estreia do cantor Rockwell, lançado pela gravadora Motown em 1984.[3] Na letra da canção nota-se medo e paranoia de ser perseguido do narrador. A canção apresenta participação de artistas antigos da Motown: Michael Jackson no refrão e Jermaine Jackson no vocal de apoio.[4]

Gravação Original

Rockwell é filho do fundador da Motown Berry Gordy Jr.. O cantor assinou contrato com a gravadora sem conhecimento do pai. Gordy não teria descoberto que Rockwell era seu filho Kennedy, até o single e álbum de estreia do cantor serem lançados.

Produzido por Curtis Anthony Nolen, a música contém backing vocals de Michael Jackson.[5] "Somebody's Watching Me" chegou a número dois da Billboard Hot 100 em 1984, e alcançou o topo da Billboard R&B singles chart, bem como atingiu o número seis no Reino Unido Singles Chart. No Brasil, foi a 31ª música mais tocada nas rádios em 1984.[6]

Foi o único grande hit de Rockwell. Seu single seguinte, "Obscene Phone Caller", atingiu o Top 40, alcançando a posição #35 no Billboard Hot 100. Em 2009, a canção foi classificada em 20º na 100 Greatest VH1's One Hit Wonders of the 80s ou seja Os 100 maiores únicos hits de um artista da década de 1980.

Videoclipe

O videoclipe da canção ressalta a letra de estado paranóico, mostrando uma casa mal-assombrada, onde no vídeo todo direcionado dentro de uma casa tem a presença de cabeças flutuantes, corvos, cemitérios, cenas de banho referenciando as cenas do filme Psicose. O carteiro que aparece no vídeo da música "Somebody's Watching Me" também estrela o vídeo de "Obscene Phone Caller". Este foi um vídeo de baixo orçamento.
