[Misc] Famous people who were surprisingly good at another profession too

Steve Miller.

Some people call him a space cowboy
Some call him the gangster of love
Some people call him maurice.

But that's all other people. What we can say, is

He's a picker
A grinner
A lover
A sinner
Plays music in the sun
He's a joker
He's a smoker
he's a midnight toker
Gets his loving on the run.
