The comments have an interesting story behind the song.

quote:

Rockwell's father is Berry Gordy, he wrote many hit songs for The Jackson 5, Rockwell's sister Hazel was married to Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine at the time.
The truth is that Rockwell recorded a 3 track demo, he showed it to his father and the reply was pretty much don't quit your day job. When Rockwell was signed 6 months later to Motown his dad was pissed off.


Rockwell was close to Jermain not Michael because of the close familly ties through marriage, Jermaine had invited him over to the Jackson house for dinner, Rockwell stated his mission was to ask Jermaine to do the background vocals and chorus, after the meal was over the only person left in the dining room was Michael , so Rockwell asked him if he would listen to his new demo in order to get some pointers, he then proceeded sing it, Michael was so amazed he called the rest of familly to listen to it, Michael then coincidentally suggested to him that he needed background vocals and asked him if he had anyone in mind, Rockwell jokingly said to Michael "why don't you do it", Michael accepted and even recruited Jermaine.

As for why Michael and Jermaine where not credited that has nothing to do with Michael but Motown. Michal was suppose to be credited but Motown decided not to promote Rockwell’s relationship to his father or Michael, so they would release the track but without credit to the Jacksons, they would also tell Rockwell not to say his real name and never state that he's the son of Berry Gordy. They even made Rockwell have a fake English accent when speaking public since they did not want people associating him especially with his father. Motown was pretty much protecting their arse. One year later it came out that Michael was on the track and Rockwell was Gordy's son, it was major backlash, as the media called him a fake artist and that he got famous through familly connections, that was the end of his career.

Every though about just using the Wifi settings apps to look for available networks? There are troubleshooting apps for Wifi that will show you hidden networks for Under a couple of bucks.

If you're at this level, there's probably nothing that's going to make you feel better that you're not being watched. But you go ahead and sign into your Google, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram accounts without worry. You also know they're tracking you whether you're signing in or not, right?

Would have included that particular hip-hop musical production in my OP, but I figured it would not be very well received...

Interesting idea, but I'm looking to locate the actual devices in hotels, et cetera.

I don't use nor do I have any of those apps / services installed on any of my devices, but you make a good point nonetheless.

They have to be connected to something. You're looking for devices you can't identify (most of the APs in a Marriott, for instance, are named according to an obvious naming convention.) You can enumerate devices, but seeing D_link1872 also doesn't tell you much. You're more looking for networks which are advertising Wifi networks. Jane's iPhone as a network, probably not a risk. In room cameras are going to usually have to connect to an AP using a cellular network, and it won't be named, "Marriott" or "Marriott_Guest, that'll be a clue.

Or, just check what is plugged into every power outlet, as a Wifi device working on batteries won't last long. This applies to hotels, not necessarily those dastardly AirBnBs, where the owner could change batteries every week.

At the same time, enough women have seen my junk and embarrassing things I've done over the decades, I just don't care. Yeah, I wiped one out multiple times before I left for the Lacrosse tournament in Dallas (no kids or ex in the room.) And?

We have people shitting on the coin changes in NYC buses, and guys lighting their balls on fire in the middle of LA four lane streets.
