Bob Kayli

Bob Kayli is Robert L. Gordy, Berry Gordy's brother, and the youngest son of the late Bertha and Pop Gordy's children. Robert Gordy admired his older brother Berry, though he was an honor student and reportedly the most level-headed. He even boxed like Berry, as did brother Fuller, but neither had Berry's desire. The first Bob Kayli recording, "Everyone Was There," came out in 1958. Berry leased it to Carlton Records; it sold well until Kayli made personal appearances and the public discovered he was black.
