Is it true that people who go into the "creative arts" tend to be creative all round? I'm amazed at the number of actors who are musicians (and vice versa). When people rise to the top of their craft, it is often hard to imagine that they could be good (really good) at something else.
Some years ago, George Martin decided to produce his last album on his own terms. Realizing that he can never escape his Beatles legacy, he decided to do an album of Beatles covers done by people he has admired and associated with over the years. The result was an absolutely stunning album that everyone who considers themselves a Beatles fan should have in their collection.
The songs featured here are both from actors who tend to bring their personalities to their singing. Goldie Hawn brings a beautifully smoky lounge-singer voice to an interesting version of Hard Day's Night. Jim Carrey brings a zany and crazy enthusiasm to the crazy I Am The Walrus. Great songs, great singing, great album.
