Prior to garnering a successful acting career, Don Cheadle admittedly had dreams of a career in jazz music. This played a role in a potential spinoff opportunity he had in the early ’90s. One of his earliest credits was a guest role on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air as Ice Tray, an old friend of Will Smith’s from Philadelphia. He used this chance to sing and write the theme song along with his producer-friend, Kenny Finch, for the now-shelved pilot. It was always in the sidecar, and I wanted to take a crack at the theme song.
