We're going back to Old School Guys on this episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show! This week I sit down with one of pioneers of Hip-Hop, Sal Abbatiello.   Sal Abbatiello is an executive in the music business. Abbatiello created and produced the freestyle, urban/dance-pop trio, The Cover Girls, whose hits include "Show Me" and "Wishing on a Star". Abbatiello is also the owner of Fever Records.   Sal is Bronx born and a native, starting as a bartender in his father’s bar. The disco era was taking over the club scene in Manhattan with Studio 54, two years later in 1972 at the early age of 19, knowing this was the new music of that time, he went on to open his own club, it was the first disco in the Bronx, called the Playhouse. This is where he started promoting his own shows by handing out flyers and selling tickets himself.   🎧 Tune in every Monday morning for all new episodes of the The Chazz Palminteri Show!   Join me every week as I share life lessons about Hollywood, Broadway, and the craft of acting, writing, and directing! Expect fantastic guests, great conversations, and valuable insights on producing your own one-person show!
