Actors Who Sing & Singers Who Act ~ Harry Connick, Jr.


Harry is an enigma. A jazzy wunderkind who, as he grew older, liked acting more and more. I have seen him in a few movies, a few episodes of Will and Grace. I have listened to a few of his albums, a few of his songs. The guy can perform, whether behind a mic or in front of a camera.

Overall, I would say I dig his music more than his acting. Good songs for cocktail party in early spring.

Nice post - Harry's version of "Old Cowhand" from the '25' album is also absolutely fantastic.

Is it just me or does "She" sound like almost scarily like a Donald Fagen songs (without the oblique incestuous lyrics, of course)?
