Natalie Imbruglia also had her start on this show (or was it called "Neighbors"?) before she started her singing career.

Yep! That's how the Brits spell Neighbours. :D
You are right. I thought about adding her to the list as well but I think she was a 90s actress.

Here's a couple of lesser known ones:
Gloria Loring, who was on Days of Our Lives, had a Top 40 hit in 1986 with Friend and Lover (duet with Carl Anderson); she also sang the Facts of Life theme song
Lisa Hartman of Knots Landing also had a singing career on the side - I actually remember her performing on Solid Gold once
Speaking of soap stars, Michael Damian of Young and the Restless had a big hit in 1989 with a cover version of David Essex' Rock On.
