Best Bruce Willis Music Moments, from his soundtrack contributions to his hit album from the '80s.

(Over the course of the film, the two thieves duet on Bing Crosby’s “Swinging On a Star” and Paul Anka’s “Side By Side,” both of which were featured on the film’s official soundtrack.) Plus, Willis and Robert Kraft penned not only the movie’s story, but its Dr. Willis has hosted Saturday Night Live twice over the course of his career — once in Sept. “Hey man, don’t forget my rawhide!” One of the most delightful credits in Willis’ decades-long filmography is his turn as the voice of Spike, the Pickles family’s trusty dog, in the 2003 big-screen adventure Rugrats Go Wild. The album was also accompanied by an HBO mockumentary of the same name, in which Willis leans fully into his blues alter-ego Bruno Radolini. The moment was made all the more precious by the fact that Willis is battling frontotemporal dementia, a progression from his earlier diagnosis of aphasia. His co-star Cybill Shepherd also performed on a pair tracks on the album: the late ’40s jazz tune “I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out!” and Rodgers and Hart’s 1934 ballad “Blue Moon.”
