About Molly Ringwald

Molly Kathleen Ringwald (born February 18, 1968) is an American actress, singer, dancer, and author. Having appeared in the John Hughes films Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Pretty in Pink (1986), Ringwald is part of the 80's "Brat Pack" and has been called the greatest teen star of all time. Universal Music released the first Molly Ringwald solo album Except Sometimes on April 5, 2013 through Concord Records. Except Sometimes is a jazz record. It follows a tradition in jazz for the Ringwald family set by her father. “I grew up in a home filled with music and had an early appreciation of jazz since my dad was a jazz musician [pianist Bob Ringwald]. Beginning at around age three I started singing with his band and jazz music has continued to be one of my three passions along with acting and writing. I like to say jazz music is my musical equivalent of comfort food. It’s always where I go back to when I want to feel grounded,” Ringwald said in a statement. The closing track of the album is a cover version of Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget About Me)" which was part of the soundtrack of the movie The Breakfast Club which starred Ringwald.
