The Crests Celebrate Johnny Maestro at Coconut Creek
Interracial R&B group the Crests charted many doo-wop hits, including "16 Candles," during its heyday in the '50s and '60s. After a late-'70s breakup, the rotating cast of members found a new following thanks to the John Hughes film named after their hit, as well as a cover of the song by the Stray Cats. The Crests' name and trademark were sold to Florida's own Tommy Mara in the '90s. While purists might take issue with that, Mara had previously performed with Crests founder J.T. Carter, and this show pays tribute to the recently departed Johnny Maestro, who was a Crest before his Brooklyn Bridge days.
