Joe Pesci has a new album, first in 21 years

First, he was a lounge singer, then he became an A-list actor, now - Joe Pesci is both. On November 29th, to coincide with his starring role in Martin Scorsese’s 'The Irishman', Pesci will release a new album called 'Still Singing', Entertainment Weekly reports. Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, the late jazz vocalist Jimmy Scott, and Afro-Cuban jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval are featured on the album, with both Levine and Sandoval appearing on the first single, latino-groovy 'Baby Girl' (listen below). As a teenager, Pesci briefly pursued a career as a recording artist, playing in bands like Joey Dee and the Starliters, and even released an album of pop standards called 'Little Joe Sure Can Sing!' in 1968. In 1998 Pesci released a second album, 'Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You', inspired by his character in 'My Cousin Vinny'. 'The Irishman' marks Pesci’s first major film role in two decades.
