SON OF TAE-BO CREATOR EXERCISING MUSICAL ABILITY

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- The son of the guy who created the Tae-Bo workout hopes to exercise his own musical ability. 24-year-old Billy Blanks, Jr., is currently recording an album he hopes will turn him into the next Marc Anthony. Billy Jr. admits his last name has helped him get his foot in the show business door but he says his father refuses to exercise his fame to help his son. Billy may not need it though: He duetted with Celine Dion when he was 14 and he just completed a starring role in the national stage tour of "Fame." On top of that, when he's not recording or writing music, he's teaching hip-hop dance classes in Los Angeles.
