John Stamos, known for his role in the beloved sitcom "Full House," has also had a brief musical career. He is most recognized for singing the iconic theme song of the show, which became a chart-topping hit.
The Full House Theme Song
In 1987, the catchy and upbeat theme song for "Full House" was released. Written by Jesse Frederick and Bennett Salvay, the song instantly became a hit, reaching number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Stamos, who played the character of Jesse Katsopolis in the show, performed the lead vocals.
Challenges and Controversies

In recent years, Stamos has been involved in a controversy surrounding the ownership rights to the theme song. Frederick and Salvay, the songwriters, have claimed that Stamos has not compensated them fairly for their work.
