Jackie Chan sings 'We Are Ready'

Jackie Chan’s immense popularity in China and abroad has led the Beijing Olympics organizing committee to make him one of only two authorized solo singers to record tracks for the official Olympic album. He is also the only male singer authorized to appear in the album. And, while Jackie Chan is all about kung fu, acrobatics and funny facial expressions, he is no newbie to singing. He recorded 20 albums in the past 25 years, singing mostly pop.

Take a listen

Chan's album includes 10 songs he sang for the "Official Album for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games," a star-studded compilation released on April 30. Tracks include "We Are Ready" and "Welcome to Beijing."
The other record to be released soon is by songstress Tan Jing, according to Yu Binghan, who produced both albums.
