I was streaming music tonight. Came across a recent album by Joe Pesci. Although not the best singer, he is far from the worst. Joe Pesci sings is a jazz/swing album of ballads in the vein of Chet Baker. A sort of after hours jazz album that is very listenable.

I imagine Joe Pesci beating up the musical entertainment, rather than being the main act, so I find it hard to see past the 'Am I here to amuse you?' dialogue.

Does anyone else have some surprises in the world of music? I.e that person can actually sing or play guitar or drums.

Do you mean people who’re actors or otherwise not known as musicians?
Well, here’s Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson. I’ve got the album this I’d from, and Scarlett’s album of Tom Waits covers and love both of them.

Then there’s Jeff Goldblum

I stumbled across The Pretty Reckless a few years back having no idea the lead was child/teen actress Taylor Momsen until a neice it pointed out.

I read someone reviewing Jeff Goldblum a while ago. They said he wasn't that great a pianist or a good singer, but he was so entertaining that no-one cared and it was brilliant.
