Bruce Willis Had a Top 5 Hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Before Die Hard.
He taught himself harmonica as a kid in New Jersey. He bartended in Hell's Kitchen under a name he invented for himself. He loved the blues his whole life. And in 1987 - at the peak of his Moonlighting fame, he walked into a Motown studio and made 'The Return of Bruno' and album that went Gold. This is that story.

Listening Party: Party Your hASSelhOFF
We listen and review David Hasselhoff's 2021 album, "Party Your Hasselhoff". The description for this album on Amazon is so perfect we think it's useless to try and describe this album any different here so enjoy...
"Who would have thought that a small, invisible virus could last the whole world, bring much suffering, grief and economic loss to every country? No concerts, all clubs closed \- the party was suddenly over last year. Now, thanks to the vaccines, the situation seems to be returning to normal a little, and hopes are growing. The world is ready to let the pig out \- the new album by David Hasselhoff comes just at the right time: “Party Your Hasselhoff” is the more than appropriate title."
