Gwyneth Paltrow returns to the music scene. Yes, as news spread that she will star in the upcoming movie Country Strong, WelcheMusic notes that Paltrow’s musical career is nothing to sneeze at. Headlining the cast of Duets in 2000, she and Huey Lewis managed to top the singles tallies in Australia and New Zealand (the track also topped Billboard AC chart). Lewis-Paltrow made a cover of Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin’.” Paltrow even secured hit (sans Huey Lewis) reaching No.3 in Australia with her own version of “Bette Davis’ Eyes.” Country Strong stars Tim McGraw as Paltrow’s husband/manager.
