Actor Tim Curry built his career on on memorable role after another, from the eccentric Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island. But his career began in musical theater, thanks to his deep, classically trained voice. Like plenty of other stars of the stage, he also pursued a career in music, although it was short-lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course, I would have loved to have broken through as a singer. Alas\u2026 I did not,\u201d he wrote in his memoir, Vagabond<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Curry released three solo albums between the 1978 and 1981. The second, Fearless<\/em>, was released in 1979 and contained mostly original songs, unlike its predecessor, which was largely a cover album. Fearless was the most commercially successful of the three, peaking at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spawning a hit single. His third album, Simplicity<\/em>, was a success in Canada, hitting No. 45 on the album charts. In 2010, Curry released \u2026From the Vaults<\/em>, his original debut album which had been recorded in 1976, then was shelved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the same musicians who had worked on Curry\u2019s debut album, Read My Lips<\/em>, returned for Fearless<\/em>, including composer and keyboardist Michael Kamen and guitarist\u00a0Dick Wagner, who both also served as the album\u2019s producers. Wagner was best known for playing with Alice Cooper<\/a>, Lou Reed, and Kiss. Kamen had an impressive career, as well, including a stint working as David Bowie\u2019s musical director. Wagner and Kamen both accompanied Curry on tour in support of the albums. At the time, Curry called his band \u201can extraordinary mixture of people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2018Fearless\u2019 was his second album\u2028<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
