I saw Johnny in Melbourne Fla. and my husband surprised me with front row seats and my husband ended up in the hospital and insisted I go to the concert I went with a friend and When Johnny sang 16 candles he stood right in front of me and had looked right at me I cried and felt so lucky! He truly was such a talent and moving I do miss him and listen to his songs and remember my special moment!!🥲😘
😊Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge was one of the finest vocal groups of its time. The artistry in the vocal harmonizing is as mesmerizing, as it is inspiring. Their vocal tone, blend, and phrasing, plus their musicianship are of the highest order.
The version that was most popular in the 1960's was by Bobby Hatfield. It was credited to The Righteous Brothers. There's a live performance on TH-cam from the Andy Williams Show. It's the only version that's better than this one.
Wow, Sing it Johnny, I have heard a lot of versions of the song “Unchained Melody” but Johnny M. Has sang this song Hands Down the Best I have ever Heard!!!
Absolutely a great live performance of it by Johnny, but I think Bobby Hatfield's live performance is even better than Bobby's recorded version. Two great singers left us much too early.
" The Worst That Could Happen " Johnny that you are not here to continue to bless us with your songs and music Johnny you and the Brooklyn Bridge have perfome with harmony, grace and style you have made us believe what love and togetherness is really about. Mr.Johnny Maestro you are a Master of what you do their will never be another Johnny Maestro of the Brooklyn Bridge not in this life time. Thank you so very much for your songs they will be in my always and forever ❤👑🎩🎵🎙📀🎷🥁🌹💯🙏🏾
im just wondering how i didnt realise I knew one of their songs until i found myself humming along to The Worst that Could Happen and 16 candles. Now I find a whole lot of other covers they did like this beautiful rendition of Unchained Melody. Then I looked for more of their songs and realised I had been humming to their songs for years but didnt realise it was them. I wish I had found these videos earlier when Johnny Maestro was alive cos I would have come to one of their concerts. What voices these guys had. Their harmonies are better than some bands today. What a joy to see these guys performing. Thank you gentlemen!!
Want to see them appear in steel pair. Maniac city in the 60s and they were great then, and Johnny maestro still is the greatest God bless him. May god be with them
That's Cousin Brucie! I haven't seen (or heard) him in years. I grew up listening to him every day. And the band sounds great. Maestro sounds beautiful.
Total genius legend voice. Beautiful song and Johnny Maestro was a beautiful g ul legend in himself. Crests....Brooklynn Bridge! This wax a breath of fresh air to hear again after60 years. Wow. ⭐🎶🙏
This clip means more to me than 99% of anything that you could show me right now on any network. One of my all-time favorite vocalists doing a fantastic job singing an excellent golden oldie, and being introduced by my all-time favorite radio DJ! I mean if this isn't magical right here I don't know what is.
It’s amazing my HS Sayreville War in NJ would actually have Johnny play at our school when music was changing into classic rock. There was no occasion for. Wat a grt voice
I shall always cherish the time we spent talking on the Ocean City boardwalk after your concert! When I asked you how you continually hit those high notes, you response was, it’s the pasta,Greg😇😢🌟
He was dying from cancer, which was not made public, yet gave one of the great renditions of this song. What a trouper - I miss the music of my youth, when vocalists could actually sing!
And the same for you... may the New Year bring you prosperity, good health, peace, and happiness...when you do get them be sure to thank God, 'cause you've been blessed...
I’ve heard the original artist sing this song, in fact a couple of African American singers recorded it in the late 50s early 60s, their names I can’t recall but their versions were OK, Elvis did a pretty good job, I’ve just listened to Johnny Maestro sing it and he did a really good job, but Bobby Hatfield really owned this song, no one could match him and no one ever will.
It depends on the individual listener. They have life experiences others can't duplicate, and they react differently. The African American singers who hit the Top 10 bestseller pop charts in the first half of 1955, were: Al Hibbler, who hit #5 and Roy Hamilton, #8. The top seller was by Les Baxter and his Orchestra. I love Bobby Hatfield's much later version and he had all kinds of time experiencing different styles and ranges. There was also much advancement in sound by that time. The song is adaptable to many different vocalists such as beautiful John Gary's and even Harry Belafonte and they capture many different listeners' hearts!
Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me Lonely rivers flow To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea, yeah Lonely rivers sigh "Wait for me, wait for me" I'll be coming home, wait for me Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine?

This man could sing like no other R.I.P. Johnny😔
Johnny Maestro one of the greatest lead singers of all times.
😊Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge was one of the finest vocal groups of its time. The artistry in the vocal harmonizing is as mesmerizing, as it is inspiring. Their vocal tone, blend, and phrasing, plus their musicianship are of the highest order.
This is how I remember this song when I was little I did not know it was Johnny maestro. Perfection
The version that was most popular in the 1960's was by Bobby Hatfield. It was credited to The Righteous Brothers. There's a live performance on TH-cam from the Andy Williams Show. It's the only version that's better than this one.

Wow, Sing it Johnny, I have heard a lot of versions of the song “Unchained Melody” but Johnny M. Has sang this song Hands Down the Best I have ever Heard!!!
This mans voice is so very pure...........
The Best version of this song I have ever heard/seen & the bonus of Cousin Bruce introducing him is the icing on the cake.
Absolutely a great live performance of it by Johnny, but I think Bobby Hatfield's live performance is even better than Bobby's recorded version. Two great singers left us much too early.
That was perfection.
Johnny Maestro had one of the great voices ever

the absolute best cover of this song , he even took it beyond the original
Man, I miss you Johnny

Great performance by the group- tight harmonies and wonderful lead vocal. The way a ballad should be sung.

Frankie Valli used to say that for him, it was the tight underwear.
Back then the maestro had one of the best voices next to Elvis. Elvis is always number 1
Such a beautiful voice 💕
Johnny died, Feb. 2010, this looks like a few months before he passed, he was the greatest
He was dying from cancer, which was not made public, yet gave one of the great renditions of this song. What a trouper - I miss the music of my youth, when vocalists could actually sing!

Pretty close to Bobby Hatfield. I never thought anyone would be close

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
