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!

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.

Because it is run by how many seats they can sell for the event. It is an expensive event for a seat, trust me, plus it is run by young ones who could care less about those who led the way for them. But he IS the first one that was put into the EAST COAST HALL OF FAME! The Rock And Roll Hall of Shame isn't what it was supposed to be all about. People who dropped out of sight are in and Johnny is not.

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.
