Last night I went to see The Crests at the Lake Worth Playhouse...music from my era and what a treat! No synthesizers were used--just pure sound from the drummer and keyboard player. Nothing can beat Doo-Wop from the 50's and 60's where groups performed with perfect harmony. It is a sound all of its own. These guys were sensational...boy could Tommy Mara still sing!
Tommy Mara was not with the original group but joined The Crests in 1980 where he was the lead singer and still is to this day. He bought the rights to the name in year 2000 and performs all over the country.
The group had several Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s on Coed Records, including the #2 hit, "16 Candles", "Six Nights a Week", "The Angels Listened In", "A Year Ago Tonight", "Step By Step" and "Trouble in Paradise."
