Artist Bio:
The Crests were an American doo-wop group formed in the mid-1950s in New York City. The group was known for their smooth harmonies and catchy melodies, which helped them achieve commercial success during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Their most famous song is "16 Candles," which reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1958.
The original members of The Crests were Johnny Mastrangelo, Talmadge Gough, Harold Torres, and Patricia Van Dross. They were one of the first interracial doo-wop groups, with both African American and Puerto Rican members. The Crests had a string of hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including "Six Nights a Week" and "The Angels Listened In." Despite changes in the lineup over the years, The Crests continued to perform and record music until the early 1970s.
