Rest in Peace Johnny Maestro

I've gotten sort of far afield of the pop culture nature of this blog, but the death of Johnny Maestro has to be observed. He was unquestionably one of the greatest singers of all time, and charter member of the Cool Guy Hall of Fame. As a teenager, he was lead singer of the Crests, who hit it big with 16 Candles and others. In his late 20's he joined the Del-Satins and the Rhythm Method to form The Brooklyn Bridge. They recorded the smash hit "The Worst That Could Happen" as well as other hits like "Blessed is the Rain." The big story with either group, though was always Johnny's voice. Here he is, with The Brooklyn Bridge on the Ed Sullivan Show.

God bless you, Johnny, rest in peace.
