Yes, SouthShore, I have heard the name of Joe Farinella. If its the same fella I'm thinking of, Farinella was active since the 1950s-1960s era.


Same fella. He was a gentlemen but also did a lot of work. Not much is out there about him in the public and I don’t like Gravano smearing his name when talking about the Johnny Keys hit. Pal Joey should have never been that closely involved at his age. He was a standup wiseguy and lived the life without doing a lot of time. Salute.
