I'll betcha didn't know actor Robert Downey Jr. could sing.
You probably had to be around about 12 years ago when he was nominated for an Oscar for his fine, thorough performance as Charlie Chaplin in "Chaplin". That movie featured a performance of Chaplin's classic 30's song "Smile" by Downey. There was also a commercial single of the song in a more contemporary mix. That song was my #4 song of 1993.
Downey's back with his first full-blown CD The Futurist, and it's a pretty good, laid back record released by Sony. The best song I heard is the emotional "Man Like Me", which once again shows off Downey's fine but little known vocals.
If you're interested in this song, please send me a PM.
