Johnny Maestro

After making a name for himself as lead singer of The Crests, vocalist Johnny Maestro formed Brooklyn Bridge in 1967 and scored a gold record the next year on Buddah with a cover of The Fifth Dimension's heartbroken "Worst That Could Happen." Brooklyn Bridge was an amalgam of Maestro, The Del Satins (the vocal group that backed Dion on many of his early-'60s solo hits), and a brassy outfit called The Rhythm Method. Brooklyn Bridge enjoyed several more hits in 1969 and 1970, and Maestro still performs on the oldies circuit. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
