Tom Wopat (Tom Wopat photo archive – Over the Rainbow photo gallery)A Wizard of Song
Tom Wopat burst into the national spotlight in the role of Luke Duke on the '80s TV Hit, "The Dukes of Hazzard." But his career has led him back to his first love, the Broadway stage, where's he appeared in everything from Annie Get Your Gun to Chicago to the current production of Glengarry Glen Ross. He'll be in the Soundcheck studio today to perform songs from his recent recording "Tom Wopat sings Harold Arlen." Also: Paul Anka was a teen idol in the 1950s but his new album features big-band arrangements of rock songs by Van Halen, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Billy Idol. Today, he explains how he recast '80s and '90s hits as Sinatra-style swing tunes.

Songwriter, crooner, and former teen idol Paul Anka is still swinging, this time with hits from the age of grunge.
