Music Trivia -> Celebrities Who Sing -> W

All too often, a celebrity gets it into their head that now they've reach some margin of fame via a movie or sports, they can also sing! This usually turns out much worse than when singers try to act.

Entries Beginning with W

Name		Notable Song Credits		Comments & Submittor Name
Warren Beatty		Now I'm Following You		He sang on this Madonna song after appearing with her in the movie Dick Tracy. - dxman
Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman		many songs in the movie "Ishtar"		Their singing was HORRIBLE but I thought the movie was funny and pretty cool (phooey on you movie critics). I think that shortly after this flick came out (which featured butcherd versions of many hits) their cover of "Only You" (yaaah yah yah yah I need you...) led to KFC airing a TV ad using a BETTER version of this hit to advertise Chicken Littles. - California 1987
Wilford Brimley		This Time The Dream's On Me		Yes, the actor best known for his roles in the movie Cocoon and the TV sitcom Our House actually sings. And surprisingly he's got a good singing voice. This Time The Dream's On Me was an album of jazz standard covers he released and he's also released a few other albums too. And he's also collaborated with some other groups on their albums (Riders In The Sky for one). I highly recommend you check out his stuff. - Edward
Will Ferrell		Love Me Sexy		Ferrell uses the name Jackie Moon and this is played in the film "Semi-Pro". - Paul Warren
William Daniels		But Mr. Adams...		Ironically...William Daniels played John Adams in the play and movie "1776"...and he would later play Mr. Feeny on "Boy Meets World" as the principal of...John Adams High School! - Paul Warren
William Shatner		Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds		He didn't actually sing this Beatles song as much as he recited (and butchered) it. - funny
Willow Smith		Whip My Hair		Daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Proof that sounding like a car alarm can sell if you're the daughter of famous people. - pickle
Wink Martindale		Deck of Cards		It was a one-hit wonder back in the early '60s. Wink Martindale is the game show host of "Trivial Pursuit", "Jumble," "Debt" and "Take on Orbitz (Orbitz commercial)". And another thing about W.M. where he was on the game show as a contestant on one of the episodes of "Scrabble." - Mickey D.
The Wrestlers		Land of 1,000 Dances		collective effort of several WWF wrestling superstars including The Hart Foundation and 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper (to name a few). Music performed by Rick Derringer. Was a Top 40 hit in Canada - whistledog
