Bruce Willis' Music Career
Willis is, definitely, best known for being an actor after starring in several hit movies. In the acting industry, he ultimately became one of the best action actors before his retirement, thanks to his hit flicks like "Cop Out," "Red," "The Expendables" franchise, "Die Hard," "The Sixth Sense," "Perfect Stranger," "Mercury Rising," and "Bandits," to name a few.
But not most people knew about his blooming career as a singer.
In the 1980s, Willis started his music career under his alter ego, Bruno Radolini. Under the ackstar's name, he released an 10-song album titled, "The Return of Bruno," which featured musicians like the Temptations and Pointer Sister.
Bruce Willis' R&B album wowed the public that it reached No. 14 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Its single, "Respect Yourself," scored the No. 5 spot. The Staples Singers originally performed the track, but he and June Pointer remade it decades later.
After starting his music gig, he signed with Golden Wine Coolers, and it helped him land on several advertisements where he showed off his singing skills.
He also released his 1989 album, "If It Don't Kill You, It Just Makes You Stronger" even after the "Die Hard" franchise took most of his time. Despite his acting career reaching the highest point, he did not leave his dream as a musician. He continued to perform with his blues band, the Accelerators, in the years thereafter.
Bruce Willis proved that he is also a great musician when his wife, Emma Heming, posted a video of him playing the harmonica while Derek Richard Thomas sang and played the guitar.
