Description by OLDIES.com:

Johnny Maestro (later the leader of The Brooklyn Bridge) first came to fame as the lead singer of the group The Crests. The group's beginnings are music legend - they were discovered singing in a subway car by a mysterious woman who gave them the business card of Al Browne, the orchestra leader who gave them their first big break. This 2-CD set features the best of The Crests' work done originally for Coed records, songs like "16 Candles" sound as strong today as when first recorded.

Tremendous collection Music Lover: from SPRINGFIELD, NJ US -- December, 30, 2012

There are many wonderful songs on THIS compilation that you won`t find on the other available entrees.For example, Johnny`s version of "Earth Angel" is excellent and a close 2nd to the Penguins legendary original.His version of "My Special Angel" may be his most beautiful performance, ever, (even better than his later Brooklyn Bridge ballads).There are also a few surprise gems on here such as the little known"Flower of Love","IOU" and a rousing version of "Silhouettes".Despite the absence of their early release "No one to love", this is the most complete collection you'll find of Johnny Maestro and the Crests.
