About the artist
Michelle Pfeiffer is an American actress rather than a professional recording artist, though her decades-long film career has produced several memorable musical performances that circulate as recordings in their own right. Her turns in musical films — including her singing in «The Fabulous Baker Boys» and animated features — showcased a warm, understated vocal style shaped for the screen rather than the charts.
Songs like «Makin' Whoopee» and standards such as «My Funny Valentine», performed as part of film soundtracks, highlighted her ability to bring an actress's phrasing and emotional nuance to jazz and pop standards. She also lent her voice to animated productions, including performances tied to «The Prince of Egypt» era of soundtrack recordings such as «When You Believe».
Pfeiffer's musical output remains a side note to her primary career as one of Hollywood's most respected actresses, but the recordings tied to her films have endured as cult favorites among soundtrack collectors and fans of her screen work.
