The Truth Revealed About What Happened To Joe Pesci

In 1999, Academy Award-winning actor Joe Pesci decided to take a break from acting. After a long hiatus, he popped up intermittently in various film and music projects until his triumphant return in The Irishman. Here's some info on what Pesci was up to during his time away. The music career Joe Pesci left acting to pursue is totally legit. The man can croon a jazz tune with the best of them, and Pesci isn't a Johnny-come-lately on the jazz scene; he's been at it for more than 50 years. Biography reports he played guitar in the '60s with the band Јоеу Dее аnd thе Ѕtаrlіtеrѕ at the famous Peppermint Lounge. In 1968, he recorded his first album, Lіttlе Јое Ѕurе Саn Ѕіng, under the pseudonym "Joe Ritchie." He released an album in 2003 with Joey Defrancesco entitled Falling in Love Again, this time using the pseudonym "Joe Doggs." And his 2019 album, Pesci... Still Singing, includes two duets with Adam Levine, and was published under Pesci's real name. Not everything he records is sublime jazz, though. He has a goofy single called "Wise Guy," in which he raps about a mafia gangster persona. The song was on his 1998 Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings just for You album, which set his My Cousin Vinny character to music. Switching gears yet again, Pesci recorded an out-of-this-world cover of "The Nearness of You" in 2017 with legendary jazz singer Jimmy Scott. So while gangster films and playing violent characters may be the first thing you associate with Joe Pesci, don't forget about the music, which is an integral part of his story.
