Legendary vocalist Johnny Maestro performs his greatest hits including “The Worst that Could Happen,” “Sixteen Candles,” “My Juanita” and more that have made him a favorite since the late 1950s.

Background:
Johnny Maestro began his career singing with a group from Manhattan called The Crests. Their first records (including "My Juanita" and "Sweetest One") generated some regional response, but it was the breakthrough of "Sixteen Candles" that brought them national recognition. A string of hits followed, including "Trouble In Paradise", "Step By Step", "The Angels Listened In", and "Six Nights A Week". By the time the group disbanded in 1962, the record-buying public had developed a strong awareness of, and a great admiration for, the very special vocal abilities of Johnny Maestro. As the music scene changed with the British Invasion of the early 60’s, Johnny searched for a framework within which he could create a new sound.

He began working with The Del-Satins, a local New York City vocal group whose members included Fred Ferrara and Les Cauchi. While working the local club scene, Johnny and the Del-Satins ran into the Rhythm Method, a seven-piece band whose members included Jim Rosica on bass and vocals. The two bands were so impressed with each other that they decided to merge together. Thus was formed The Brooklyn Bridge.

The Brooklyn Bridge once again brought nationwide exposure to the voice of Johnny Maestro. His powerful performance of Jim Webb’s "The Worst That Could Happen" backed by the Bridge’s trademark strong vocal and horn arrangements, led to a gold record for the band and countless concert and television appearances, including one on the Ed Sullivan Show, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin ,Della Reese shows and more. Other hits followed, including "Welcome Me Love", "Blessed Is The Rain", "Your Husband My Wife", and "You’ll Never Walk Alone".
