Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent were working musicians and recording artists in the 1960s who turned their hands to stand-up comedy in the 1970s with success.

I don't know. It could be Peter Sarstedt, or Tony Orlando, or maybe Robert Goulet.

petrolinofwiw ... more non-film related Pesci Trivia: "Actor Joe Pesci got his start as a musician, playing guitar with Joey Dee and the Starliters. When he left the band he was replaced by a then-unknown Jimi Hendrix" "In 1998, he released his second album, and his first in 30 years, Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You, which was named after his character from the 1992 film My Cousin Vinny. The album was both humorous and serious, exploring a variety of genres, though most of it was big band jazz. The album spawned the single "Wise Guy", a rap number that played on the gangsta theme by making reference to Mafia gangsterism. "Wise Guy" interpolated the 1980 hit "Rapture" by Blondie, and was co-written and produced by the hip-hop production team the Trackmasters."

Nice, thanks. Jimi Hendrix was no slouch on guitar, even in his years as a hired gun. I remember one or two stories about bandleaders threatening to sack him unless he reigned it in.
