DANNY AIELLO DEAD AT 86

Veteran actor Danny Aiello -- known for his supporting roles in many acclaimed movies since the '70s -- died Thursday night ... TMZ has learned.

According to his family ... Danny passed away at a medical facility in New Jersey where he was being treated for a sudden illness. We're told he suffered an infection related to his treatment. Danny's family had come to visit him Thursday, and we're told he died shortly after they'd left that evening.

Aiello broke into movies in the early '70s by landing a small role in the Robert De Niro baseball drama, "Bang the Drum Slowly." He followed it up by playing Tony Rosato in "The Godfather: Part II" ... in which he delivered the famous line, "Michael Corleone says hello!"


Danny would go on to earn praise in several hit films in the '80s, like "Fort Apache the Bronx" with Paul Newman, "Once Upon a Time in America," "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and "Moonstruck" opposite Cher.

He gained massive critical acclaim and his first Best Supporting Oscar nomination for his role as Sal, the pizza joint owner, in Spike Lee's, "Do the Right Thing." Danny was also a singer and a Broadway actor.

Jack Scott, ’50s Rock ’n’ Roll Pioneer, Dead at 83

Canadian rock ’n’ roll pioneer Jack Scott, who placed four singles in the Billboard top 10 in the U.S., has died, according to several posts on his Facebook page. Wikipedia lists today (Dec. 12) as the date of his death, but a Facebook post from a friend claims that Scott’s wife, Barb, announced his passing two weeks earlier. No place or cause of death were cited. Scott was 83.

Scott’s biggest hits in the U.S. were “My True Love” (#3, 1958), “Goodbye Baby” (#8, 1958-59), “What in the World’s Come Over You” (#5, 1960) and “Burning Bridges” (#3, 1960). The first two of those were released on the Carlton label and the other two on Top Rank.

Another one of Scott’s hits, 1959’s “The Way I Walk,” only reached #35 in the U.S. but found favor with several bands of the punk-new wave era: it was covered by both the Cramps and Robert Gordon.

Scott’s success was much greater in his native Canada, where he was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011.

Jack Scott was born Giovanni Domenico Scafone, Jr., on January 24, 1936, in Windsor, Ontario, across the border from Detroit. He absorbed American country music and early rock ’n’ roll and began performing after his mother gave him his first guitar.

Scott made his first single, “Baby She’s Gone,” for the ABC-Paramount label in 1957, but it did not chart in the U.S. Neither did the followup, “Two Timin’ Woman,” and he then signed with Carlton, which put him on the map with “My True Love.” He logged 19 chart singles in America into 1961, before the success began to fade, but he remained popular in his homeland and regained some success in the States when the ’50s rock ’n’ roll revival kicked in during the 1970s.

He released several albums from 1959-64, none of which charted in the U.S.

Scott was also inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame, in 2007.
