Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by 
After a spell in Italy last week, this week we go back in time to New York in an Italian-American neighborhood in the film Goodfellas. This is an old gangster film that has some great tunes in it and I will share 3 of them today.
But first, for those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday.... to quote
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize.
The first song is instantly memerable with the film with the legend Ray Liotta who sadly passed away last year. It is the great opening line where he says, "ever since as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." and then the song starts.
It is a great tune by Tony Bennett that I will always remember with this film. Ray Liotta was great to watch here and played a wise guy very well. I have also read the book that it is based upon, but cannot remember too much about it now. I think it was quite a good read though.
A memorable song from the film for me was The Shangri-Las - Leader of the Pack. Although it does not make it to my top 3 today, even though I think it is a great song.
Second on my list for today is instead Derek & The Dominoes with the outro from the brilliant Layla song. Here in the film De Niro decides to start whacking the gang who made the big robbery with him because he decided that why should he share the loot when he can just whack the others and keep it all for himself. I'm sure there is a lesson in there somewhere.
The full Layla song is pretty epic as you can hear here and gives me totally other connotations than from the piano exit where I have images of an Italian mobster hanging in a meat truck frozen to death.
The final tune is by Mick Jagger. I've not been a huge fan of many of Mick's tunes but I really like the guitar rift in this one. It has got to be one of the top and most memorable guitar riffs.
The winner from last week's 5 LEN token giveaway was
