The Best Of Johnny Maestro: 1958-1985

The story of Johnny Maestro is one that spans virtually the entire rock era. He began his musical career in the '50s with The Crests, whose #2 hit, "16 Candles," is a staple of Oldies radio. After more hits, Johnny went solo in 1962 with moderate success, until the late '60s, when he formed a large vocal touring group. When an associate commented, "It's gonna be easier to sell the Brooklyn Bridge than sell a group of this size," Johnny's new outfit had a name. In 1968, their version of Jimmy Webb's "The Worst That Could Happen" went to #3 on the charts and led to countless concert and television appearances. By 1972 The Brooklyn Bridge had sold over ten million records and they have soldiered on ever since.
