Smile Unlikely Celebrities That Went On To Record A Hit Song?

I know there are a few; but I can only think of Vicki Lawrence. She was a regular on the Carol Burnett Show and went on to record the number one song: " The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia".

Can anyone think of any others???? Vicki Lawrence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How about Bruce Willis - "Respect Yourself" hit the Top Five in early 1987 - I'd say that is a surpise!

Another would be "She's Like The Wind" with Patrick Swayze...

David Hasselhoff comes to mind. He had a hit song called "Looking for Freedom" back in the late 80's (Top hit in Germany if I remember correctly).

What about Carl Lewis?
I don't remember if his single was a hit or not.
