Music Trivia -> Celebrities Who Sing -> S

All too often, a celebrity gets it into their head that now they've reach some margin of fame via a movie or sports, they can also sing! This usually turns out much worse than when singers try to act.

Entries Beginning with S

Name		Notable Song Credits		Comments & Submittor Name
Sally Field		Felicidad		The actress best known as "Gidget" and "The Flying Nun" had a very brief side career as a pop singer in the late 1960s. She put out one album on Colgems Records which generated her only Billboard Hot 100 charting single, "Felicidad." Sally was no vocal powerhouse but still made a pleasant-sounding record a la Shelley Fabares. - Chris
Samantha Fox		Gimmie Shelter with Hawkwind		She sounds very good on this remake of the Rolling Stones "Gimmie Shelter". - Wade Brock
Scarlett Johansson		Summertime, Falling Down		I was really surprised when I heard her sing. I expected it to be poppy radio or something, but it's sophisticated and original. She is one of my favorite actresses, and she sings fabulously. - Lexie
Selena Gomez		Shake It Up		excellent - Miya
Seth McFarlane		I Need A Jew, Off on the Road to Rhode Island, The FCC song		Yes, got to give voice actors some credit, too. Now he does the voices of Brian, Stewie & Peter Griffin on "Family Guy", but all three have varying degree of vocal abilities, and Seth is the voice behind all three of them. - Rocky Mak
Shaquille O'Neal		(I know I got)Skillz		Sports stars do OK in movies, but they are nowhere near as successful pushing out rap album. - Rocky Mak
Shelley Fabares		Johnny Angel		Shelley was playing Mary Stone on "The Donna Reed Show" when the producers decided that she and her costar Paul Petersen would both become recording artists. Shelley insisted she couldn't sing, but "Johnny Angel" went all the way to #1 on the Billboard charts. Personally I think it was a much more listenable effort than other actors who have tried to sing, but much of the credit for that goes to the backup vocalists (Darlene Love & The Blossoms). - Chris
Siobhan Marshall		Living On A Prayer		This tall, blond actress is Pascalle West of "Outrageous Fortunes". She won Sing Like A Superstar (albeit a more performance-based) karaoke competition to be honest). She was backup vocals for "Living On A Prayer" during the 2006 Christmas in the Park in Auckland with a few fellow Outrageous Fortunes female actresses. - Rocky Mak
Steve Coogan		Goldfinger, Nobody Does It Better (as Alan Partridge in 'I'm Alan Partridge')		I can't hear the original of Nobody Does It Better without thinking of Alan Partridge explaining the opening titles of The Spy Who Loved Me! - pickle
Steve Martin		King Tut		Released the album "A Wild and Crazy Guy" in 1976, with the huge hit "King Tut". He also appeared in the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band film, performing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." - dxman
Sylvester Stallone		Paradise Alley Theme, Rhinestone		He sings just like he talks. - Travis
