The Crests - The Best Of The Crests Featuring Johnny Maestro (1990) Ace + Booklet + Bonus Northern Track - Rare Doo-Wop/R&B/Soul (FLAC 316MB)

Just the one review today as ive been busy being chased to do jobs by the Boss, drove me nuts all day!...i,ve had a few requests for this which has surprised me & meant to review it ages ago...Johnny Maestro Only recorded one studio album with the crests but they recorded 30+ 45,s. But with the Brooklyn Bridge he recorded 3 albums. Johnny was born in Brooklyn New York to an Italian immigrant familty in 1939 and passed in 2010. He was one of the few artists who sold to Doo-wop/R&R/Soul lovers throughout his life...There,s a superb article/interview with him over HERE rather than me harp on. Ive included his best ever song IMHO the Northern Stepper as a bonus also in Flac. One of the great white voices of R&B/soul along with Dean Parrish,Frankie Valli, Len Barry et al....Bonus track under back cover.
