“Michael Corleone says hello!”

Seriously, it’s amazing what you can come across on the YouTube when you’re searching for a music video of the day.  This single appeared on an album called I Just Want To Hear The Words.  Apparently, this was one of several albums that the actor Danny Aiello released during his lifetime.  As a singer, Danny Aiello sounds …. well, he sounds exactly how you would expect an old school New York crooner to sound.  Considering that most of his roles involved him doing a lot of bellowing, Aiello had a rather pleasant singing voice.

With the Oscars coming up, I should mention that Danny Aiello was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing.  He also appeared as one of the Rosato Brothers in The Godfather Part II.  Reportedly, Aiello improvised the line, “Michael Corleone says hello!”

Enjoy!
