The
Brooklyn Bridge was created in 1968 when two bands, The Rhythm
Method and The Del-Satins featuring Johnny Maestro, merged.
From the late 1950s to the early 1960s Johnny Maestro was the lead
singer of The Crests, fronting such hits as Sixteen Candles, Trouble
In Paradise, Step By Step, and others.
The Del-Satins recorded hits
as well, Teardrops Follow Me and were most respected studio
background vocalists, working with many artists most notably with
Dion, on his solo hits including The Wanderer, Runaround Sue and
many others.
The Rhythm Method was a seven-piece local Long Island band
popular on the local club circuit. Known for their trademarks of
strong vocal and horn arrangements, The Brooklyn Bridge recorded hit
after hit beginning with their first gold record for Jimmy Webb,
The Worst That Could Happen. Other hits include Welcome Me Love,
Blessed Is The Rain, and Your Husband, My Wife. The Band's countless
television appearances include The Ed Sullivan Show.
They continue to
make numerous concert appearances in the US and abroad, recently
visiting Germany and England. The Brooklyn Bridge has appeared in
most of the major concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Madison
Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, L.A.'s Universal Amphitheater,
as well casinos throughout the United States.
In 2006, the band was
inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. They are also
members of South Carolina's Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame, the New
England Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and Harmony Group Hall of Fame,
and recently the group received a star on the New Jersey Walk of
Fame.
After four decades, the Brooklyn Bridge continues to record
and tour, delighting long time fans and making new ones along the
way. Their recording of So Fine can be heard in Robert Davis' film
"The Dukes", starring Chazz Palminteri. Demand for live appearances is
stronger now than at any time in the band's history. As they begin
their fifth decade performing, The Brooklyn Bridge leave a rich
legacy in the annals of Rock n Roll.
