My favorite thing about this song is not that it was spooky, or that it recalled "Psycho" in the video's shower scene, but that everyone was up in arms that Michael Jackson was doing back-up vocals. The general opinion was that Michael Jackson was singing backup on a relative unknown's single, and was too famous to be doing so, having just release "Thriller". Maybe it helped that Rockwell was actually Kennedy William Gordy, aka, son of Motown founder Berry Gordy? BTW, Rockwell got his record deal without his dad's knowledge, and used the name Rockwell to avoid accusations of nepotism.
Enjoy!
