I forget what the "term" is for following a link, that leads to another link, that leads to another link, but I did just that...
I just found out that a band from the 50s, Joey Dee & the Starlighters, who had a hit with "Peppermint Twist", had a guitarist by the name of Joe Pesci. He left to pursue an acting career and was replaced in the band by....Jimi Hendrix. Neither was involved in "Peppermint Twist".
