Clipe do DVD "The Beach Boys - Nashville Sounds", lançado em 1996.

Dedicated to the memory of Dennis and Carl Wilson whose lives changed the world as we know it in a profoundly positive way. Equal dues and respect to their eldest brother Brian Wilson without whose musical & lyrical genius this national treasure wouldn't exist.

I was delighted to discover this clip myself back during August of 2013. At that time, the audio track portion was damaged to the point of being inaudible as it did nothing but make a painfully loud high-pitched squeal from beginning to end.

Considering "God only knows" is my most favorite Beach Boys song and this is the only surviving original B&W studio rendition publicly available on YouTube I knew it was my duty to restore it back to full functionality which only took a few minutes to do. As it turned out all that required was simply transcoding it again using the proper audio codec.

At which point it came completely back to life! Interestingly, the original B&W 16mm footage filmed by a family member never actually contained ANY audio track whatsoever as was typical of amateur film equipment back during the 1950s and 1960s.

But some sharp cookie along the way got the brilliant idea to sync up one of the original studio audio recordings to this 16mm video footage in an effort to make the final result more entertaining which it unarguably does despite the two not always being in 100% perfect sync at all times.

That meager shortcoming being why a number of people errantly believe it's lip-synced which simply isn't the case; although realizing the video and audio portions were made on two entirely different
occasions and later matched up which isn't easily accomplished. The fact it syncs up as closely as it does is a genuine testament to the extraordinary level of talent, precision and skill the Beach Boys possessed.

One of the most popular of the late '50s groups, the Crests were often thought to been all black aggregation. In fact, they were about as integrated as a group could get, with four men (two blacks, a Puerto Rican, and an Italian), and one black female.

Soon we will be together again in the still of the night.

The band was founded by J. T. Carter and included Talmoudge Gough, Harold Torres, and Patricia Van Dross (older sister of R&B great Luther Vandross). Carter selected vocalist Johnny Mastrangelo (later just Johnny Maestro) to perform as lead vocalist for the group. Maestro's vocal style on the group's recordings became instantly recognizable and a juke box favorite of the national teen audiences. Maestro's quality vocals, great song selections, and recordings with dance-easy beats made the winning combination for charted hits. The group had several Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s on Coed Records, including "16 Candles", "Six Nights a Week", "The Angels Listened In", "A Year Ago Tonight", "Step By Step" and "Trouble In Paradise". They also charted with "Sweetest One" (Joyce label) in 1957. The Crests appeared and performed several times on national teen dance television shows in the late 1950s.

Van Dross left The Crests in 1958 after recording two singles for Joyce Records. Maestro left for a solo career in 1961. He would later join The Del Satins, which would merge with The Rhythm Method to become Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge. They had a Top 5 hit with "The Worst That Could Happen" in 1969. His place in The Crests was taken by new lead James Ancrum. The group recorded a new single, "Little Miracles". It was the first single not to chart in the Top 100. They also recorded "Guilty" (Selma label). Gough quit the group after the single, and was replaced by Gary Lewis (not to be confused with Gary Lewis of Gary Lewis & the Playboys fame). The group failed to find success throughout the decade.

Torres would also be gone by the late 1960s. The group continued as a trio of Carter, Ancrum, and Lewis. This lineup continued until 1978, when the group split. Carter went on to sing with Charlie Thomas' Drifters.

Carter then reformed the group in 1980. He auditioned over 200 singers, finally settling on lead Bill Damon, Greg Sereck, and Dennis Ray and New York drummer Jon Ihle. Carter continued the group well into the 1990s. He sold the trademarks to The Crests name to Tommy Mara in the late 1990s. Mara was Carter's lead vocalist at the time, and now continues the group without Carter. Carter now performs as part of the three person group Starz. Lewis is now singing with The Cadillacs.

The 1984 John Hughes teen film, Sixteen Candles, took its title from The Crests' song, which was re-recorded by The Stray Cats for the Sixteen Candles soundtrack.

In 1987, Maestro, Carter, Torres and Gough reunited as The Crests for a reunion concert in Peekskill, New York.

Patricia Van Dross died in 1993 of complications from diabetes. Hal Torres is deceased, and Tommy Gough is living in Flint, Michigan.

Johnny Maestro, died Wednesday, March 24, 2010, at his home in Cape Coral, Florida. He was 70 and had lived in Islip, New York, until 2003.

In April 2010, the Los Angeles-based rights-management firm Beach Road Music, LLC, acquired the Coed Records catalog, subsequently re-releasing the Maestro song "The Great Physician" on the 2011 compilation album From The Vault: The Coed Records Lost Master Tapes, Volume 1. "The Great Physician" was originally released in 1960 as Coed 527, under the pseudonym "Johnny Masters".
