Johnny Maestro and The Crests - I Care About You - FANTASTIC Soul Ballad

A complete and utter surprise from Johnny Maestro. I always knew Johnny was soulful, but damn... This blew me away! J.J. Jackson arranged and conducted this one.

Thanks to fnstradio for sending a correction. I previously thought J.J. Jackson the VJ and the singer were the same man. When the VJ passed on emails went through the oldies communities saying that they were the same guy. Apparently they even share the same birthday. Sadly we lost the VJ, but the JJ in connection to this record (and who also did the song It's Alright) is thankfully alive and well.

Sounds like Johnny came down with a "wonderful" case of Jackie Wilson. You're one in million P.J.. Thanks.

A Bill Medly with him on this would be interesting.

[PJDooWop]

It would be hard to tell them apart at times

Johnny Maestro sang for Parkway Records in 64 but with a different Crests group so this is Maestro and he's hitting notes I never heard him hit before. GREAT song!

[PJDooWop]

Yeah... this is something else Bobby

A monster record! Johnny poured more soul into this one song, than all of his records combined. Great post PJ...and a nice "promo", too!!!!!

These were not the original Crests doing the backing vocals. By 1964, Johnny was doing solo work, with different singers often billed as The Crests.
