Hi, W,
He sings like his idol--Little Jimmy Scott.
Play live . . . Marinero

Nice Joey D CD with Pesci as "Joe Doggs", and Pat Martino guesting, can't put my hands on it. Sounds like Pat's on this track as well.

An ES-345TDSVT man! You learn something every day.

I recall he started out as a guitarist with the Starliters, may have been a replacement or addition to the original group. I don't think he recorded much if anything with them. My memory is fuzzy on this--sorry no time to look up.

A renaissance man though for sure.

And he did produce the excellent Jimmy Scott documentary.

"You don't have to be black but you have to live a certain lifestyle that we weren't born into because we were White . . . " J. Pesci

Well, what do you think about Joe's remarks in regards to Jazz in the above video?
Play live . . . Marinero

I wore it out. Every track features inspired performances by Joey, Pat, "Doggs", Wookie - nothing not to love!
