The Return of Bruno is the debut album by the German-American actor Bruce Willis, singing as his fictional alter ego Bruno Radolini. Released by Motown Records in January 1987, the album shows Willis singing and playing harmonica on a collection of R&B classics plus some new songs. The album was promoted by the HBO special The Return of Bruno which aired shortly after the album's release. A re-issue was distributed by Razor & Tie in 1997. The album was preceded in December 1986 by the lead single "Respect Yourself" which hit number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Willis is backed on the song by the Pointer Sisters who deliver a rendition faithful to the original 1971 soul hit by the Staple Singers. "Respect Yourself" was the only single from the album that received significant US airplay. The Return of Bruno received mixed reviews. Many fans of Willis's acting career were dissatisfied with their purchase of the album.
