Johnny Maestro of The Crests... passes away at a still-too-young 70...

I had the privilege hearing him and the group sing sometime back in the 1990s I think. The band itself was awesome, with bass guitar lines and backup singing that had a phenomenal quality. "The Angels Listened In" in stereo is still one of my all-time favorites.

And Johnny's voice was always powerful, clear and on-the-marque.

I guess it's safe to say the angels are really listening in.
