Jimbo 03-31-2002, 09:54 PM Another current sitcom star with a very good singing voice is Kelsey Grammer of "Fraiser" fame.
Someone else that is not normally thought of for his singing voice is Foster Brooks, known to millions as "the loveable lush". I can recall seeing Mr Brooks on a few variety shows where, in addition to his comic drunk routine, he would also sing. He had an absolutely beautiful voice. Unfortunately, passed away last December at the age of 89.
vienna waits 03-31-2002, 10:57 PM I think Lisa Whelchel (Blair Warner) sang really well.

listen to her music from this flash jambox : flash jambox (http://www.crystalbernard.com/jambox.swf)
Her stupid Record Label went bankrupt so her albums are hardly around... stupid Record label!!!!:mad:
mstewart 07-18-2002, 11:49 PM Another actress who comes to mind I originally forgot to put on was Shana Reed of Major Dad. Also, Charlotte Rae from The Facts of Life can sing. Watch the Christmas episode when she did O Holy Night. Very powerful performance.
Also Robert Guillaume from Soap and Benson. The Christmas episode from Benson when he did O Holy Night will knock you off your feet. An opera style voice.
~*Hannah_Lee*~ 07-19-2002, 12:50 AM Barbara Eden could also sing. She only showed off her vocal talents once or twice on I Dream of Jeannie, but still her talent was there!!!!:cool:
Allison Smith - Kate & Allie
Vicki Lawrence - Mama's Family
Jim Nabors - Gomer Pyle, USMC
Impressions 07-19-2002, 06:56 PM Warren "Potsie" Weber a.k.a Anson Williams I thought he could sing pretty good on Happy Days!
I Dream of Jeannie 07-19-2002, 09:08 PM Barbara Eden can and could sing really good. She even put out a few albums. Who knows she may have become a diva if not for IDOJ. But then pop culture would lose one of it's best and only genies and so would the rest of us.:happyface
