Die Formation:
J. T. Carter gründete Mitte der Fünfziger im newyorker Manhatten mit Talmoudge Gough, Harold Torres und Patricia Van Dross, der älteren Schwester des späteren R&B-Produzenten Luther Vandross, ein Quartett. Dazu wählte sich J. T. Carter Johnny Mastrangelo, einen Italo-Amerikaner, als Leadsänger aus. Sein Name wurde aber auf Johnny Mastro bzw. Johnny Maestro gekürzt. Nach den ersten zwei Single-Einspielungen bei JOYCE verließ Patricia Van Dross die Gruppe und so wurden die Crests zum Quartett. 1961 startete Johnny Maestro eine Solo-Karriere. J. T. Carter machte aber mit den Crests mit unterschiedlichen Besetzungen weiter.
