I listen to your songs almost every day and have done so for many years. LOVE your voice and miss seeing your shows. Watch your performances on youtube regularly. Know you are missed so very much by myself and I'm sure others. Sleep in peace Johnny and thank you so very much for the beautiful music. I dedicate "you'll never walk alone" to my daughter Lindsay as an aid during difficult times. LEGENDARY. Best wishes to your family

It's one of those days when I am thinking back over the years to people that Darlene and I knew in the music business. We were not in the business, but helped Richard Nader and others with shows they produced around the country. We met many great singers and groups and with few exceptions were always treated well. However, the man who stood out every time was Johnny Maestro. We were always happy to learn he would be on the bill. There were so many good natural vocalists from the 50s, but Johnny was my favorite. The purity, strength and range of his voice never flagged. I think the last time we were with him for a show was late 2008. He was as good then as he had been in the 50s. The great voice of the past 30-some years is Kenny Vance. When he and John did duets together it was like hearing the voices of angels. Johnny was never a bff, a phonecall friend, or anything of that nature. He was a show friend and Darlene and I miss our friend. Can't forget the day we heard of his passing. We knew it was coming, but that did not help. I know there are a lot of great frontmen in the Heavenly band, but none better than Mr. Johnny Maestro.

I think about you and your music every day since I heard those horrible and gripping words "Johnny Maestro" ,lead singer of The Brooklyn ..." Everyone knows that you should be in The Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame..when you played in South Jersey (Dick Lee's Night Club, etc,) I saw you every time you performed. I own every PBS Doo-Wop DVD and CD that included your performances. I live in Vegas now and I wish that I could go on the strip in the future and see you...I hope that you are resting in peace. There will never be another Johnny Maestro...

Great singer and entertainer. Never met Johnny, but we have lost a gentleman and a truly natural talent. R.I.P.
