However, this comedy album was not Pesci’s first foray into the musical realm. In the 1960s, the Home Alone actor was a prominent figure in the New Jersey music scene.
As mentioned in the Frankie Valli and Four Seasons musical Jersey Boys, Pesci actually introduced the band to songwriter Bob Gaudio, who later composed many of their chart-topping songs. I will do it. At one time, Pesci was also a member of Joey Dee and the Starlighters. The band was most famous for having legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix as a member for a short time. By 1968, the actor released his first album, Little Joe Sure Can Sing, which consisted of covers of the biggest pop songs of the time. Although the album was not a critical success, Pesci concentrated on his film career until 1999, when he announced that he was retiring from acting to concentrate on music.
The Goodfellas star released a jazz album, Falling in Love Again, in 2003 under the name Joey Dogs. His latest album, Pesci…Still Singing, was released in 2019, shortly after the actor appeared in the Netflix film The Irishman.
