Robert L. Gordy is probably best known for playing a cameo in the Diana Ross-starring vehicle, Lady Sings the Blues, playing a drug dealer named "Hawk". Also an early songwriter of several songs for the Motown label, Gordy recorded a novelty hit in 1958 under the stage name Bob Kayli with the song "Everyone Was There". He replaced Louyce Gordy as head of Jobete Music Publishing in 1965 after Louyce's death.
