Music Trivia: What actor released a cover of Respect Yourself in 1987?

Actors frequently make cross-overs into music, often with disastrous or hilarious results (ever heard Party All The Time by Eddie Murphy?  Ouch).  Sometimes commercial successes, other times failures, these songs frequently prove why a legitimate double-threat (acting & singing combo) is so rare.

However, they aren't all bad.  In fact, sometimes they can sound halfway decent and be commercial successes.  So, off of our newest game, Pocket Trivia - Music Trivia:   What actor released a cover of Respect Yourself in 1987?  Was it Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Molly Ringwald or Tracey Ullman?

The correct answer, as hard as it is to imagine, is Bruce Willis.  Willis' voice is much better than you'd think the Die Hard star's would be, and the R&B song was off of Willis' debut album, "The Return of Bruno."  The song actually hit #5 on the Billboard Top 100 - not bad!  Check out the video below:
