KLINE SHOWS OFF MUSICAL SKILLS
KEVIN KLINE wowed U.S. TV audiences with his piano skills on Monday night (26Jul10) by staging a performance with comedian JIMMY FALLON and his ba ck-up band THE ROOTS.
The Oscar winner harboured dreams of becoming a piano prodigy when he w as young, but gave the hobby up for acting because he "couldn’t see a fut ure" in music.
But Fallon urged the actor to revisit his past and tickle the ivories d uring an appearance on his talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, prompt ing Kline to play a rendition of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
Explaining his decision to give up his musical aspirations, Kline said, "I had a terrible practising discipline. I would try to be practising my classical music but I would be distracted by other things. This is a dem onstration of how important discipline is for any job." The unlikely triple act then livened the crowd, ending the set with a p erformance of the Doobie Brothers’ 1970s hit Takin’ it to the Streets, wi th Fallon on vocals.
