Lemongello spent the first part of his career as a cabaret singer, with several appearances on national TV, including 25 on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. He released his first two records (under the name Pete Lemongello) on the Rare Bird record label to no fanfare. In 1973, he signed to Epic Records. He released one single in December 1973; it was unsuccessful and he subsequently left the label.
Private Stock Records signed Lemongello in May 1976. He released his second album, Do I Love You, in late 1976. To help promote the album, which, as with its subsequent singles, failed to chart, he was sent on tour with labelmate (and future Family Guy composer) Walter Murphy. An appearance given by the duo on March 5, 1977, at the Felt Forum in New York received a mixed review from Robert Ford, Jr., who wrote in a review of the concert for the April 9, 1977 issue of Billboard that "after saturating television screens with commercials that put more emphasis on his handsome face than his thin voice, Lemongello follows up with a live act that does pretty much the same thing...
