Vito Picone and the Elegants | Chazz Palminteri Show | EP 232
This week on The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with a true music legend Vito Picone, lead singer of Vito and the Elegants and the voice behind the 1958 #1 hit “Little Star.”We talk about the golden era of doo-wop, how Vito’s music shaped the sound of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and his unforgettable stories performing with Buddy Holly, Dion, Frankie Avalon, and more.
Vito opens up about growing up in Staten Island, the quick creation of “Little Star,” and how that one song changed his life forever. We also talk about the roots of Italian-American influence in music, his time performing at Radio City and Carnegie Hall, and how his story ties into the legacy of New York’s greatest performers.
Topics include:
The real story behind “Little Star”
Touring with music legends of the 1950s
The influence of doo-wop on American pop culture
NYC’s evolving music scene from the Bronx to Staten Island
Music, memory, and legacy
Whether you're a fan of classic music or just love great stories, this episode is for you.
