I do not know who they were and if they called themselves "The Crests" this group appears on the CD "Cameo-Parkway groups" and as you can see they all carry instruments, maybe so they were the band that accompanied Johnny instrumentally in some of your recordings.
I only see one original member of
ReplyDeleteThe Crest in this photo and that is Johnny Maestro.
In the early 1960s, Johnny Maestro often sang with different backup singers, sometimes billed as The Crests, The Coeds or unbilled. It was Johnny's remarkable voice on lead vocals that gave everything he recorded such a distinctive sound. His voice is just as great today.
