When Royal Teens started falling apart with band members getting drafted or leaving the group for college, Bob Gaudio was convinced to abandon ship and join up with Franki Valli's outfit by mutual friend Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci was a child actor and, at this point, a rock and roller. In 1968, he released his debut album Little Joe Sure Can Sing! through Brunswick Records under his Little Joe moniker.
Fun Facts: His first single, as Jonathan Marcus, featured backing vocals from Gaudio and The Four Seasons. After this album, he teamed up with fellow future Scorsese character actor Frank Vincent to form a comedy duo as Vincent & Pesci.
Here is the discography surrounding Little Joe's debut album:
