The Crests- Trouble In Paradise (Doo wop)

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

I remember this song from the early 60s when I was 7 or 8 because older female siblings ,and their friends, played it on the record player in the living room while they danced to it. great memories.

[bnetwise]

I really like this song but I'm sorry he's with the Angels now.

[MagicGary1960]

A true classic from 1960 by the Crests and smooth Johnny Maestro!

[jitterbugger1960]

i have always been a huge johnny maistro fan WE LOST A STAR but we have his music forever rest in peace johnny.

[1XLINEMAN]

Good song to play with the windows down at stop lights.

Just give them the thumbs up.

Or down to rap!

[Back2The50sPlease]

Phil Leotardo played this at his welcome home party on the Sopranos!

[megolegoman313]

[johnhharley48]

ALL DOO WOP GROUPS ARE THE BEST IT JUST DEPENDS ON YOUR MEMORIES EACH SONG STIRS WONDERFUL MEMORIES FOR ME SO EACH ONE IS THE BEST AT THAT MOMENT. THIS SONG FIRST SKIN ILLUSTRATION AND FIRST BROKEN HEART DONT KNOW HOW TO SPELL TATTOO.

[89mustanglover]

Great song

[patrickb5197]

All the records the Crests did were classics, their songs will never be forgotten. What a great group and they had such a unique sound, one of the first intergrated groups. Pioneers of Doowop groups fer sure.

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

the crests are my favorite doo-wop group and trouble in paradise one of my many favorites of theirs. a great voice went silent 3-24-2010. RIP johnny...and thanks for part of the soundtrack of my life.

[nukejohnnyo]

Long live Johnny Maestro!!! His voice was a staple of doo-wop music.

[doowopftw]

If you don't like listening to the Crests, you know nothing about music at all! :D

[Nettiekins1959]

@doowopftw - Damn right!

[doowopftw]

@Nettiekins1959

;-)

[Nettiekins1959]

The best doo wop band - could listen to them all day!

[tatternutt]

@Nettiekins1959 I do! hahaha

[paddy6062]

[Thatuptownguy]

[doowopnightsdotcom]

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

[SixTrey94]

I just read the sad news that Johnny Maestro is gone. We've lost another mainstay of Rock. My condolences to his family. He was a great singer who brought me hours of happiness with his talent. I think that the Righteous Brothers have it "If There's A Rock and Roll Heaven" then you know they've got a hell of a band. What a show we'll have when we arrive. Thank you for the post. Rock is eternal.

[Tigermoon1950]

A classic voice falls silent. Thanks to the wonders of technology (You Tube) Johnny will live forever. RIP, great voice!

[rvictor64]

Johnny is now performing to standing room only in Heaven. "If there's a Doo Wop Heaven,then they must have a hell of a band". Ron

[ForeverOldies]

He had such a great voice!

[paullallelly]

love this band alot, sorry for the lost

[jerardm]

Happy Birthday Johnny Maestro, I know you're in Heaven singing with Angels. You always had a fondness for singing about Angels. Someday I'll hear you sing with them. RIP

[coyotesong]

No more trouble in paradise. Johnny's now an official angel himself. RIP, Johnny.

[coyotesong]

Wow, I too just learned from this site that Johnny left us a month ago. He brought a lot of passion and talent to the air waves and was a good friend in helping me navigate my early teen years. RIP, old friend.

[MrMalibu30]

Thought this song was called "Callin all Angels"

[garybrown57]

The saddest news i got was when johnny died for me the king of doowop i love with a passion evrything i heard him and the crests sing i for one will miss him at least we have his wonderful recordings to remember him by let's never forget that angelic voice r.i.p sir gary uk

[rjsmth]

What a voice he had. Great tune, just like the rest they did...

[johnnystunod]

I just learned Johnny died on March 24, 2010. What a loss!! He had just turned 70 last year, Wish his family well at this horrid time. Maybe Johnny is reunited up there with all the great Doowop rockers who have passed. I will listen to and love him till my end comes. He sounded as good at 70 as he did when he was with The Crests on the streets. God bless him & his family, We will NEVER forget him!

[docpete1968]

@johnnystunod I do not believe it Johnny M is gone May he rest well I for one will miss him I grew up with him and his music Crests and Brooklyn Bridge Doc68

[jumby1and2]

R.I.P., Mr. Maestro, your voice will ring on in Heaven. there's no trouble in paradise now, Jonny's there...thanks, M1. peace

[dakotajim11378]

Hey folks, this song is in tribute to Johnny Maestro who lost his battle with cancer on March 24, 2010. He may be gone but not forgotten, leaving us a legacy of great songs from his first group The Crests and then his second, the Brooklyn Bridge that will long live on. R.I.P. Johnny and you'll be in that rock and roll heaven band with all the other fallen greats, Be sure to take center stage every so often, you earned that spot and right to do so!!!

[09mskitty]

It was a gallent fight Johnny. Now rest in peace. You and your music will live forever. Thank you.

[truknights]

[gretzle]

To njva17420, you could take a car antennae and .22 long rifles and build guns all night long. Memories are there.

[njva17420]

Hey, gretzle, tell me about the car antennae. I am not familiar with that one.

[2009Denisem]

Classic.. Divine memories here....

Thanks for sharing...xoxoxox

[jura233]

amazing song and my favorite decade- fifties . I can always listen to songs from those years

[WOODBINEXX]

my top 5 groups

the crest,the crest the crest the crest and er the crest

[njva17420]

Anyone remember zip guns?

[truknights]

brylcream, peg leg pants, black pointed shoes with white lightning streak on side and cuban heels...and then the hop...all night hold my girl real tight

[njva17420]

Pompadour hair styles, cigarette packs in your t-shirt sleeves, motorcycle jackets, etc., etc.

[07031943]

don't forget the "flat top" and "detroit" hairdos. Belt buckle slightly off to one side; "taps" on those pointed shoes;

[njva17420]

And the "DA" too!

[njva17420]

Also switchblades.

[njva17420]

Hey, truknights, I think we called them just "peg pants" or "pegged pants". Someone talked about "highwaters" in a comment about the "The Angels Listened In" video. Same thing, as I recall.

[cablonde320]

Takes me back to a time when music made you smile, get on your feet and dance all night!!

[meats0]

This song was playing in the background of the bar Phil returns to from Florida in the episode of the Sopranos "Soprano Home Movies".

[rslitman]

I only found out the name and artist of this song recently, even though I had heard it many times over the years. I am more familiar with Johnny Maestro as a member of his later group, the Brooklyn Bridge. And the one Crests song I usually think of is "16 Candles".

[kwint5086]

Good song, remember this from the Sopranos.

[SantaMaria444]

wich episode was it it?

[GGuadalajaraa]

really nice song <3 I get down on my knees for this song ;)

[trockout]

DO WOP FOREVER AND FOREVER!

[alan22071994]

i agree nojokingbob .......... except im only 14

[nojokingbob]

Great song and amazing singer. Now days it seems a lot of singers use studio tricks to sing, I miss the days when you had to be a good singer to make a record. I guess I'm aging myself lol.

[DavidWovchko]

I love this song!

[TopazDupree]

A great song by a great group--The Crests. Johnny's lead vocals are perfect, as always.
