Description:
One of the most beloved recordings from the 50's doo-wop era, the Johnny Maestro-led Crests reached #2 on the charts in December of 1958 with "Sixteen Candles". The original Crests line-up was one of the first inter-racial rock groups that featured not only Maestro in the lead but also Patricia Van Dross, the older sister of R&B great, Luther Van Dross. Maestro would leave the group in 1961 to pursue a solo career that took a while to blossom, and not until he hooked up with some members of the Del Satins which ultmately would become known as Brooklyn Bridge did he realize some success.
