Music Monday: TV Rockers

by Scott Lydon


Happy Music Monday! It used to be that being on TV made you famous nationwide. It used to be that recording a hit record did the same thing. So it was only natural there would be some crossover between TV and Pop Star, right? Today Scott's gathered five TV heroes of yore and their music. And now, you must watch and listen. YOU MUST.

David Soul - Don't Give Up On Us

 

David Soul was on Starsky & Hutch. He was Starsky. Or maybe Hutch. It's been a long time. Also, he had a hit single. Pretty good, right? I certainly think so.

Thankfully for Scott, there are plenty of other TV actors with recording careers too. You'll see four more, coming right up!

Don Johnson - Tell It Like It Is

 

Don Johnson has had more than one hit TV show! Also, he recorded more than one song! One more than one album! They weren't really the best. But this one isn't too bad, right?

Bruce Willis - Respect Yourself

 

Before he was a movie star, Bruce Willis was on TV. As he was making the transition, he recorded The Return Of Bruno. No one was entirely clear who Bruno was but we all sort of let that slide and focused on the music.

Telly Savalas - If

 

The biggest hero to bald guys before Captain Picard appeared! He was Kojak and he was a singer.

Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana - Howdown Throwdown

 

Before she turned into an art-pop nudist, Miley was a child star who had a secret identity! I wasn't a fan of the show but then again, I wasn't really the target audience. Miley has kept on with the hits every since, though she's left this persona behind forever.
