Should be in Rock &Roll Hall of Fame

Being a Long Island girl I was blessed to have seen him live many times... each time an effortless beauty in that man's voice. The morning they announced he was gone... I dropped my husband at work ... drove around the corner from his job and cried my eyes out while The Maestro sang "I believe" There was no local charity that ever heard the word no from Johnny. His efforts like his voice were tireless. I now regret I didn't go to the East Islip church for his funeral mass. God Bless You Johnny!

One of the best vocalists of the era, along with Jay Black & Gary Puckett.

How is Johnny not in the rock and roll hall of fame?

I blasted this song as a 45 on my record player when I was 16, and now at 66 yrs. young, I still blast it. Johnny Masestro was one of the greatest . R.I.P. You're missed. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

He should be in the Hall of Fame. Enough already, put him in ❤

Johnny was a phenomenal singer and performer. His career was unbelievable and he was one of the Greatest Singers of all time as far as I am concerned.

How could a voice not change in 40 years???? This is when singers could really sing! RIP Johnny. A true great and gifted artist!

It's not just that he hits the high notes, listen to the quality of his voice.

I don’t comment about pop tunes very often, but this performance by Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge of the classic Jimmy Webb song is almost perfect. If you don’t dig the visuals just forget the cornball club vibe and just listen to the band & vocals. Also, check out the trumpet players singing backgrounds, playing keyboards then pulling off the horn parts on the fly. Those are the kind of musicians I want to be in a band with. RIP - John Peter Mastrangelo aka Johnny Maestro; May 7, 1939 - March 24, 2010.

A dead on, flawless performance from the late, great Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge...R.I.P Mr. Maestro, you were one of the great vocalists of our time.

I'd hear him sing and say,"how does he sound the same,even after all these years?" I guess simply put, Johhny was blessed as few singers are....having a voice that never quit. We were fortunate to hear him. RIP Johnny.

My group was the warm up group for the Bridge. I still get chills hearing the Worst That Could Happen. What a voice and a really nice guy.

Simply the best.no-one can match him for vocals.RIP Johnny,you’ll be sorely missed.

Hands down the G.O.A.T Doo Wop singer of all time. Go back and listen to The Crests and all the Brooklyn Bridge material. When you stop crying, thank God that we had Johnny and generations to come will have these songs. Every year this time I relive my youth ( now 70).

Why is this man not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame? What am I missing?

Jimmy Webb and Johnny Maestro. One of the best songs of all time!

This song is a Masterpiece 💙

Another Jimmy Webb masterpiece beautifully sung by Johnny.

Such a beautiful voice!

Johnny was the Do Wop Maestro for sure. Never get tired of these great 50-60 slngs....greatest era to be a teen.OMG...what a voice....Johnny. Maestro- and Frankie Valli... two of the greatest!🎶⭐🎶

One of the Greatest of all times - Johnny Maestro

❤ Memories. They go on thanks to music like this

What a great singer!. He was the best up to the end. So sorry he is gone. Love his music and voice was the greatest. He was blessed with his voice. Wish he was still here. RIP.🙏🙏😪

This man's smooth voice could melt jello!!! Purrrrrr!!!

Good Grief! This guy could really sing. My goodness he's belting it out, hitting notes few mortal men can reach, lol.

I listened to this on my transistor radio when I was 9 yrs old and still love it. I'm 63 now . I never get tired of this song or this era of music . Thank You .

How can 5 people not like this? His voice will live on forever.

One of the best voices in our era. Will miss you and your singing Johnny. 😢🙏🏻

RIP Johnny. I used to go see you at The Bottom Line in NYC and you never lost your voice, or your gracefulness.

I met Johnny and the group at The Cheetah Club on 54th Street in NYC. We became good friends actually. I had a baby and the group became the godfather to my son. I still [after 42 years] have the original carriage and mattress with the Brooklyn Bridge emblem on it...wonderful group, wonderful people. He will be missed.

The day before the Jets and Joe Namath upset the Baltimore Colts in January of 1969, my high school basketball team won our conference tournament. I was on a high the next day and remember vividly listening to this song. If you lived in the 60’s you know that this group and this song was not typical of most of the music. You got a group with a great vocalist as the lead singer and awesome background harmonies like we heard in the Do Woo era but a big band with horns. They had like 11 members. This was the number 1 song in the country and I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing while that song was playing that afternoon. Johnny Maestro is the best of all time.

Best voice(singer) of all time. Nobody will ever be this good and for his entire life. He never lost his voice.

Never got to see him...i'm only 32, but i discovered his music about 10 years ago. Oldies 100 in ocean county nj. Never knew til a few years ago that he sang 16 candles.

Incredible that he could belt it out like this at this age. Seriously amazing. Johnny was a beast.

Spectacular voice!!!

sauquoit13456 1 second ago On this day in 1968 {December 15th} the Brooklyn Bridge performed "Worst That Could Happen" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Six days later on December 21st it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #3 and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... It was written by Jimmy Webb... First recorded by the 5th Dimension for their 1967 LP album 'Magic Garden'... R.I.P. Johnny Maestro {1939 - 2010} and Mr. Sullivan {1901 -1974}...

R.I.P. My brother. You are one of the greatest voices I've ever heard.

Was there any better vocal performance in pop music history than Johnny Maestro singing this song?

Mizkitty1122, when Johnny passed the world lost not only a great tallent, with one of the most durable voices of all time, but also a true humble gentleman. The gates of Heaven automatically opened for Him.

I really miss him and his music Johnnie Maestro was a one of a kind, man what a voice!!! 1969.

Since I started listening to the song again after so many years, it’s in my head every day I wake up and it’s in my head and that’s not a bad thing. Love it love it.

He was the best and any attempt to replace him is nothing but an insult. No one can fill his spot, not now, not ever. I loved and still love Maestro and only Maestro. Rest in peace good brother.

Im a 63 year old Male from Northern Calif. I lost a girl in about 1968 and have been so very DESTROYED by it all these years ..... First time I heard this was right after we split up .... Why is it we torture ourselves and listen to these things that Make us CRAZY ? ....... All I can add is like most everyone else here .... RIP Sir ..... You were quite a voice Johnny Maestro .

Loved his strong voice on songs prior to even Brooklyn Bridge. Loved their songs with Johnny at the helm! RIP Johnny!

Love this song!!

Johnny, when I take the journey I'll pack this song and bring it for you, it'll be "The Worst That Could Happen" to Earthlings...and me!

I'm one of the "Baby Boomers", loved Johnny Maestro/Brooklyn Bridge, this video is the best of his live version of "The Worst That Could Happen", the pure sound of what a singing voice should sound like. This music never dies, the souls remember...Indefinitely. RIP Johnny.

how can people not like this? So much talent!

Not in the hall of fame? Unbelievable!

Music lost a legend when Johhny Maestro died.

Now this guy can sing!

I still get chills and tear up listening to this song!

@53Topanga well... I wasn't young then but my MOM was so she took me to see them when I WAS young and then again and again and again when I was older and my son knows them too... amazing how many generations are impacted by their music. I did have the plesure of meeting them and they are true gentlemen... what can I say but WOW!!!

Sorry to have heard that he passed away today.Truly a golden oldie.The music will never die

March 30, 2010 I miss him so very very much! Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... come on. What are you waiting for? The older ones are dying, while the younger ones are inducted first! Johhny Maestro..... Pavoritti... Pavoritti... Rest in the arms of Jesus!

one of the best voices of all time period.....

One of the GREAT...and distinctive voices of the era. Always be remembered. Thanks for the memories! RIP

R.I.P. Johnny.....the epitomy of what every singer should be in every possible way....

I remember seeing Johnny Maestro in the Lindberg Ball room in New Jersey in the mid 60's. Fabulous then, fabulous till the day he passed...... he sang what people "felt". RIP Johnny Maestro.

Would have just loved to give this paisan a hug before he left us. What a great voice with such passion. Rest in peace Johnny Maestro!

The Late GREAT Johnny Maestro the very best voice ever !

You should be proud JOHNNY. You sing it even better live today , than you did in the studio in 1969. I used to fall asleep after a hard days work , listening to this song over and over. A great song with a great band and singers.

Johnny maestro sang with all of his heart and soul I feel that it comes across in all of his music would have loved to have seen him perform live thank goodness we have his videos and recordings

RIP Johnny...opened up for the Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge when I was a young girl in an acappella group called Schoolgirl...Johnny was not only one of our great singers but a beautiful person who treated us with kindness...you will be missed...

great sound...he had

saw johnny & the band live about 20 years ago. After the show got him to sign my 45 record of this song,, still have it.

THIS MAN COULD REALLY SING! R.I.P.

We lost the best of an era before his time- and that's the worst that could happen. We are struck dumb. Yet we will remain grateful for his impact on our memories and lives through his charm, talent and power and kindness.

Johnny Maestro was a class act, a great voice, and a true pioneer of American music. Our nation has lost a treasure.

Unbelievably good

Johnny & Ritchie Rossato (The Duprees), 2 f the best ever Doo Wop lead singers!

The very same!! We were all so young!! Johnny Maestro is the very best!!

On this day in 1968 {December 15th} "Worst That Could Happen" by Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on January 26th, 1969 it peaked at #3 {for 2 weeks} and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... Lead singer Johnny Maestro is a dual member of the Vocal Group Hall of Fame; first with the Crests in 2004 and with the Brooklyn Bridge in 2005... R.I.P. Mr. Maestro, born John Mastrangelo, 1939 - 2010...

This 1988 version is the best one I have ever heard !!!!

Wow. I always loved his voice, but to hear a live performance that sounds this great is a rare treat. Thank you for your gift, Johnny.

I have to say the arrangement, the heartbreak when the famous wedding recessional plays…

omg what a rare gift!!! He sounds exactly the same as he did 40 years ago!!!

Johnny Maestro is THE voice of rock n roll. Miss him. ❤

Got to see him in shows 3-4 times by far one of the best voices of all time.

I will always love this song. Johnny Maestro had a wonderful voice

He was one of my favorites. Brings back a lot of great memories.

The absolute best.

I had the privilege of not only hearing him perform live, but sharing the stage with him and being able to hang around him both before and after the show. He was absolutely amazing with that incredible voice of his, but he truly was a gentleman of a caliber rarely seen. Today's "greats" have a long way to go to be able to match him both in talent and in being a decent human being.

Reminds me of my youth. What a great entertainer. What a voice!

It's a sad day for rock & roll. Rest in peace Johnny Maestro.

Still my favorite Song of Songs! I’m a woman to boot! How funny! I think that was1968 I was born in 57! Guess I found that song later !

Soooo Beautiful . No stopping Johnny Maestro..Every song he recorded reached # 1.. What a way to grow up....

I was 9 years old when this song came out, and I can honestly say, his voice was so smooth and pure.

A True R & R Hall of Famer, according to ALL the Fans, and we go to the shows and buy the records, and cd's. I don't care what a few ppl. on a committee say, they are the best. Great voice, fab songs and Johnny & the guys are true Gentlemen... I know him, and the group forever! He is the Best of the Doo Wop Genre or ever will be.. no one has those pipes, no one!! Best, Marcie B. xxx

Rest well, Johnny and thank you for the wonderful music!

Started in around 57 with Crests, then onto Brooklyn Bridge through 70s. I saw him in 2006 and his voice never changed, maybe even getting better and more mellow with age! That's a lot of years of entertaining! One of if not the greatest voices or our time. He will be missed! RIP Johnny, and while you are up there, sing "The Angels Listened in" for everyone in Heaven.

Absolutely loved to hear Johnny Maestro sing

What I find most amazing is that he sings this song from his heart, you can tell he feels the lyrics in his soul. He must have sung this song thousands of times during his career, yet he still sings it with all his heart and with a freshness of energy, as if singing it for the first time, faithful always to the original and always infusing it with full emotion. That can't be easy!

Wow.... what a voice.. What a great song (thank you Jimmy Webb!), and aside from all that, this is one (*#)(* of an amazing live performance.

I love singing along with Johnny! It’s so much fun! I can hit most of the notes almost right on target, although, he’s the greatest!

Johnny maestro was the BEST.❤

THE BEST EVER, HANDS DOWN!! RIP JOHNNY!!

Rock soap opera as good as it gets because of great lyrics, melody and voice. Amazingly emotion evocation to the listener. A tear. I'm kamplunct. Truly.

All I can say is WOW! What a great song, sung by a great artist. I love this song..
