Performances by people you didn't know could sing

Name one OP. I still know Charlotte can’t sing.

How about this one?

Or this one?

I saw them do this one on stage. Who knew Pam Dawber could sing?

Steve Martin

Famous Actors Who Can Sing

Charlotte coached her.

The stunning but tragic Joanna Moore's smoky smooth "Down In the Valley" on The Andy Griffith Show.

Linda Lavin (with Martha Raye)

Keith Carradine...

Milla Jovovich

Rose McGowan

Bette Davis.

Yvonne De Carlo

Rita Hayworth.

First, this incredible performance by Michele Pfeiffer (and yes, that's really her singing)--

Ray Romano

And don't forget Sissy in Coal Miner's Daughter!

Michelle Pfieffer actually has a marvelous voice

we knew Michelle could sing cos she was in Grease 2.

Taron Egerton in Rocketman

I think if someone has two Tony nominations for being in a musical they shouldn't qualify.

"My Conviction" cut from the film version of Hair sung by Charlotte Rae.

The late Betty White.

Burt Ward

[quote]Yvonne De Carlo

Turn in your gay card.

Someone needs to upload R14’s clip to YouTube. It’s hilarious. I saw this when it aired and I couldn’t stop laughing and I was 6.

Diana Canova from "Soap".

Sorry, R29 -but when Nashville was released Keith Carradine didn't have Tony nominations. He was virtually unknown to most of us.

I assume R33 has Yvonne's wonderful album, Yvonne DeCarlo Sings. It's a great album of torch songs perfectly suited to her voice.

Burt Ward? He clearly went to the Bill Shatner School of Music...

So the premise of this thread is "people you didn't know could sing until they sung"? That's pretty much everyone.

Charlotte Rae has a list of Broadway musical credits, including Mammie Yokum in "L'il Abner."

Robert Downey Jr.

I know all about Charlotte Rae's stage experience, but I question whether singing was really the key to her success...

Gloria Swanson

Gloria Swanson's swan song.

Thank you R32. I needed that!

Dana Andrews

That Burt Ward 45rpm has Got to be one of the worst vocals of all time. Even Lauren Bacall at least sings in tune.

Star Trek's Seven of Nine:

Jeri Lynn Zimmerman

(at timestamp 33:00)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Burt Reynolds

I watched it he whole Undoing series and had no clue it was Nicole. I loved this rendition.

Okay, who was the stud in the Swanson clip?

Awww r46. I wonder why she didn't do more singing.

Sigourney Weaver.

Nicole Kidman sang in Moulin Rouge and Nine.

Brittany Murphy sang in lots of movies but here is a bit of her audition for the Janis Joplin biopic she never made.

Joe Pesci sure can sing

Jane Wyman

Susan Sarandon sings, but I am not linking.

Ann Sheridan

“I didn’t know it was Nicole singing!” uh who else could it have been? “That’s really Michelle singing on the piano!” Yeah, and not very well…

Joan Collins

Elizabeth Taylor

Hal Linden

Ann Sheridan sang in a lot of movies. she didn't have the greatest voice but it was ok.

more Bette Davis. she said when she was first told she would sing in the movie she laughed for 3 days in reaction.

natalie portman in vox lux.

The thread is about performances by people you didn't know COULD sing. Many listed here can not sing but attempt to.

Clark Gable.

Candice Bergan.

Ana Gasteyer

Jill Clayburgh in Pippin.

r60....here she is with Angela Lansbury and Dana Wynter

Here’s everyone..

[quote] Charlotte Rae has a list of Broadway musical credits, including Mammie Yokum in "L'il Abner."

Plus Charlotte Rae was in the first US production of The Threepenny Opera, along with Bea Arthur.

Wentworth Miller

quite dreamy

Miss "Helen Lawson" herself, but not amused by the trio of British bitches singling her out at 2:32.

Michelle Dockery has a lovely singing voice.

Michelle Dockery's BEAUTIFUL rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow | This Town - BBC

Scott Bakula - he does a lovely version of “I Thought About You” at 23:00 in the clip below from Nite Club Confidential, as well as singing throughout the show.

R50,

That was Laurence Olivier.

And speaking of Nite Club Confidential here’s Barbara Eden in the revival.

Stephanie Zimbalist

Irene Ryan in [italic]Pippin[/italic].

Ewan McGregor. No, I didn't see Moulin Rouge, bitches.

Jon Lovitz (and Adam Sandler.)

Robert Conrad

Agnes Moorehead

Agnes hit a note or two… a note or two…

Soooo glad no one said Meryl Fucking Streep. Bitch can’t sing.

Chris Pine. I had no idea he was so country sounding. The ability to sing makes him so much sexier. Babs apparently recruited him to sing with her too.

Richard Chamberlain (RIP) with the ORIGINAL version of "Close to You."

Rhonda Fleming

Charlotte Rae was great-she also does a great rendition of “Look for the Union Label”

Rita Hayworth’s “Put the Blame on Mame” was dubbed by Anita Ellis. R22.

Film historians disagree as to whether that guitar version is actually sung by Hayworth or by Anita Ellis.

It should never be surprising when a stage actor turns out to be able to sing. If their speaking voice is properly trained there's no reason why they shouldn't easily be able to train it to sing.

Or speak-sing.

So far my favorite has been Michelle Dockery singing Over the Rainbow.

When I first heard James Marsden singing on [bold]Ally McBeal[/bold ], I remember thinking that Life just isn't fair.

Christian Campbell. Why didn't he have a bigger career?

Christian Campbell was hot

Patty in Billie

Ahem

Joan

The delicious Jeremy Northam as Ivor Novello in "Gosford Park".

He's really good!

Shirley Henderson and all the other British actors in "Topsy Turvey"
