    I'm convinced that it is impossible to listen to Maestro singing this live version of Step by Step without replaying it over and over and over ... his voice is perfection ... especially for doo wop : )

    In heaven Johnny is still one of the best voices ever in the business. One of the few singers to maintain his ability to sing the way he did when he was young. God probably has him performing daily. Rest well my Friend. Ron--Highway Stars Magazine.

    I just love these guys. There will never be another Johnny Maestro. So glad I was born for this era and had sense enough to appreciate them and their music. Did get to see them live twice. As I age I hope to God there is a rocknroll heaven. That's where I'll be. For those born too late to enjoy as contemporaries they will take the time to get to know Johnny and his music . Until later Johnny, it won't be that long...

      Totally fucking riDICKulous how they qualify these guys for going in. You're going to tell me The Crests, Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka don't belong in the fucking R&R HOF? You're NUTS. The CRAZIEST THING IS Del Shannon is in there! They are really fucked up whomever is running the joint that is. I think one of the requirements are you like have to have a hit record in the last 5 years, something like that. But good for you, don't visit the place! In baseball/football/basketball, I think you actually have to be retired to first be considered for the HOF !
