The Fabulous Baker Boys

One of my favorite movies is The Fabulous Baker Boys from 1989.  This movie stars real life brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges as two struggling brothers who are longtime lounge jazz pianists in Seattle.  To improve their act they hire a gorgeous singer played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the role that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.  In addition to being a great actress, Michelle can really sing!  She plays Susie Diamond, a former escort who shakes up the Baker boys dull career.  The movie is filmed on location in Seattle which is another big plus.

Here is Michelle singing More Than You Know, which was her audition song in the movie -



You've probably heard her sexy rendition of Makin' Whoopee on New Year's Eve -
