Kerry was indeed a member of Apollo..but the bloke who made "Somebody's..." was a DIFFERENT Gordy kid...KENNEDY, slightly older than Kerry by the way...
After the lone eponymous 1979 LP, the band, by the way, was ordered diossolved by Berry...so's Kerry could attend college.
This jam is my ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE of the whole LP!
Prepare to grin: This Rock-Disco band (on GORDY/Motown) was led by (future mega-producer) Benny Medina and featured Kerry (son of Berry) Gordy--soon to be known as ROCKWELL--you know, "Somebody's Watching Me"!! Plus, this same album featured a badass cosmic pop-rocker written by Teena Marie called "Happiness", which got serious play here in DC (on WOL). I still HAVE that album. (guilty pleasure!! ^_^)
