Best known as the action hero behind cinema's Die Hard series, Bruce Willis (b. March 19, 1955; Penns Grove, NJ) became a twice-over recording artist during the late '80s. His debut album, The Return of Bruno, became a surprise seller after the single "Respect Yourself" hit the Top Five in early 1987. Willis had two other modest hits, and recorded another LP two years later, but has remained outside music for the most part -- performing only occasionally to inaugurate several Planet Hollywood restaurants. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
