I just recently found out that Lawrence Hilton Jacobs had a singing career back in the day. According to Wikipedia he recorded three albums.

That would make for some hilarious comedy.

The actor that played Horshack, actually was a trained Shakesperean actor. I'm not saying that makes him a talented singer, but he was talented.

He has a good voice

John Travolta's Top 40 career was brief. He only had three songs on the charts. The first was Let Her In, followed by Whenever I'm Away From You and All Strung Out on You. They were all on his album that was released on the Midland International label.

But when he co-starred in Grease with Olivia Newton-John, they had a couple of hits as a duo. They were You're the One That I Want and Summer Nights.
