Table of Contents
Stories about the most "cool" guys of cinema are associated with his name. Indeed, Bruce Willis is primarily known to us as an actor. But back in 2005, at the premiere of the film "Sin City", he came on stage with a harmonica and performed the song "Devil Woman". This was no surprise. Bruce has a beautiful, rich voice and his journey as a singer started a long time ago.
How it all started
Early in his career as an actor, Bruce worked part-time as a bartender. And in the same bars where he poured drinks, he sang. Undoubtedly, this practice gave him confidence, because after that he began to organically combine his love of music and acting.
In 1985, the TV series "Moonlight Detective Agency" starts, where Bruce plays one of the main roles. In the series, he often sings, sings along and even plays the harmonica.
Bruce Willis is a professional singer
In '87, "The Return of Bruno" came out, a pseudo-documentary about singer Bruno Radolini. And guess who played him?... That's right.
At the same time, Bruce records his first studio album in the genre of "rhythm and blues". Billboard magazine puts one of the album's songs, "Respect Yourself" at number five on its list of popular songs. From this point on, Bruce becomes a really famous singer. His popularity covers not only the United States, but also Europe.
In 1989, Willis' second and unfortunately last album, If I Don't Kill You, It Just Makes You Stronger, was released. During this interesting project Bruce collaborated with famous musicians Johnny and Edgar Winter and Robben Ford.
But although the second album was a commercial failure, Bruce did not give up his favourite pastime. He continued to perform with his band The Accelerators.
Further career
In 1991, Bruce starred in the crime musical (if such a genre even exists) "Hudson Hawk" about a thief extra-class with a very unusual approach to work: to measure time on his assignments, he uses songs. The film failed at the box office and was not liked by critics, but many with a smile remember this unusual picture and not bad parts of Bruce in the frame.
After that, in 2004, Bruce took part in a concert dedicated to the memory of Ray Charles. There, together with B.B. King and Billy Preston, great musicians, Bruce performed the song "Sinner's Prayer".
So we come to 2005, when at the premiere of his new film "Sin City", which became very popular, Bruce Willis performs the song "Devil Woman". If you watch the video, you can see that the actor feels great pleasure from the performance and singing. Bruce Willis is a good example of how not to give up on something you truly love. In connection with his career as an actor and singer it is often said: "A talented person is talented in everything".
