Veteran actor Danny Aiello, best know for his films Do The Right Thing, Broadway Danny Rose and Moonstruck, has struck out in a new career direction by recording an album at the age of 70, AP reports.

"I've always loved to sing," Aiello said. "I've been singing since I was a kid." I Just Wanted to Hear the Words should be released in April, he told AP.

The CD includes his renditions of standards such as "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter."
