Rare dance craze radio spot with a young Joe Pesci
Hey, Let s Twist 1961
Right out of New York s famed PEPPERMINT Lounge
Hey, Let s Twist is the fictionalized story of Joey Dee, The Peppermint Lounge, and of course, The Peppermint Twist just like any other twist, but it has the word peppermint .
Of course, Joey Dee and The Starliters are the main draw in Hey, Let s Twist , but the film also features several other musicians. Teddy Randazzo who not only appeared in several other early rock movies The Girl Can t Help It, Rock Rock Rock, and Mr. Rock and Roll , but is also a noted songwriter Going Out of My Head , Hurt So Bad and he has also been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A couple of other actress/singers/songwriters to look for in the movie are Jo Ann Campbell I m The Girl From Wolverton Mountain and Kay Armen Be Good to Yourself . And as long as I m mentioning people to look for, keep an eye out for 18 year old Joe Pesci performing with The Starliters in the last part of Hey, Let s Twist
