- Some old home video I found of the summer concert series in the Plaza of the World Trade Center on Thursdays back in the summer of '91. Recorded Thursday July 11, 1991
What happened to us? Compare this to the Crap they push off on us calling it music. Not a generation gap, just the truth. May God Bless America. We need it more now than ever, Jim
Johnny needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame
Johnny Maestro I had the pleasure to meet at the Hamilton House in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. I got a chance to tell him I worked with his dad Sal at the World Trade Center and related some stories he had shared. He was thrilled and offered to pick up our tab. Not wanting to insult this great man who brought so much joy. We settled on a drink. Hears to you Johnny🥂R. I. P. 🙏😢
I had the privilege of meeting Johnny on the Ocean City N.J. Boardwalk after his concert. Truly a humble great God gifted voice. He appeared carrying his tux in a garment bag over his shoulder leaving the Music Pier walking by himself on the boardwalk as our paths crossed! We exchanged pleasantries and had a great conversation for about 15 minutes! It was after 11 pm and I will never forget his parting comment! I asked him how he continued to hit those high notes impeccably and his response was, Greg, it’s the pasta🙏🏻🤓🤩. Being of Italian decent from South Phila and having sung with a group as a hobby, I truly appreciated his spending so much time with me after performing a five star show! God Bless you Johnny, our Heavenly Angel, I am blessed our paths have crossed and no one is ever gone until they are forgotten, thanks for the music and memories. God Bless Grace and your family🙏🏻🎆
I saw him in 1995 and maybe 97...oldest i was at that last concert was 21...I grew on these masterpieces...wouldn't change it for the world...I may be an 80 & 90s kid but the 50s thru 70s are what molded us first.

One the greats , I’m a 50s / 60s kid . I sang with a doo wop group in Ozone Park , before joining military in 1965 .
Johnny, Fred, Les, such a talented group, the voices of true angels! Rip you are greatly missed❤🙏🏻
The quality of his voice is truly amazing. One of the best doo wop singer of all time.
100%
Quite possibly the greatest voice I ever heard
The Greatest DJ on what was at one time (not now) The Greatest Radio Station - Don K Reed. Miss it all.
I love all the songs it brings me back to better times . I was poor and still am this was my entertainment listening to the Radio .this made me happy as I sang and danced .Pauline Rosenberg I hope
This brings back good memories .
A Class Act.Put him in the R&R Hall of Fame. He earned it.
Met JM at the Holiday Inn in Haupauge Long Island, 1990 and he sang like he did in the 50’s. Amazing vocals. Nice guy too.
What a great talent, thanks for the beautiful music Mr. Maestro. May you forever RIP.
Johnny Maestro and the great Brooklynn Bridge. So glad I found these videos . I like his oldies...they were the heartbeat of my youth. Thank you for posting. Go, Johnny......wow. are you ever missed!!! 🎶❣🎶⚘🙏
Blessed to have seen and heard them at several shows. Always a professional and a class act. Will certainly enjoy missed.
I remember this as if it was yesterday ... in Liberty Plaza where I worked nearby at One World Trade Center and was frustrated at not being able to catch the entire show because I was working ... RIP, Johnny and Freddy.
I'm jealous.

Step by Step love this music
Johnny Maestro: The Doo Wop Voice of God.
This is real music not the stuff they have out now a legendary voice which will remain timeless
Wow so cool
Johnny was the best!
You can't deny Johnny was very talented. The Del Satins backed me up on four records back in the very early 60s when i was only 13 and 14. I only recently found out that they had been The Brooklyn Bridge with Johnny Maestro.
Thanks for posting, got here from reading about this video on Glen Fisher's recent newsletter. Great video and can never get enough of watching and listening to one of the true greats, Johnny Maestro.
johnny was the best
Great !!!!!!!! Thanks
thanks, Michael! I worked with/for the Bridge back when and never got tired of hearing THAT VOICE live night after night. realizing now as well how wonderful Les and Freddy are onstage, too! peace, Johnny and Fred (LATER EDIT: and now Les)

Man are you guys missed. Rest easy paisans
outdoors no issue with his awesome voice
Watched this several times over the years. Echo all the comments around Johnny but also want to thank you so much for posting this video. I used to attend these summer concerts regularly as I worked fairly close to the WTC. I can only say I can't believe how long ago it is now, but I smile every time I re-listen/watch. I miss my CBS FM as well. Thank you again for posting!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks so much for posting this! Johnny & Fred live on through great concerts like this one!
Johnny looks so hot in his shades!!
I worked in the area during those years & I can’t believe I didn’t catch this show. Thanks for posting & sharing. Rest In Peace Johnny - you are forever loved & will always be missed ✨❤️🙏🏼✨
Wow, they are so young. Les Cauchi passed away in March 2020.
I like that song playing in the beginning of this video. I believe it's The Beatles singing "Any Time At All" yeh*yeh*yeh* ...
So amazing!
Blessed is the rain
One of the greatest!!
I loved walking down to WTC to catch lunch time concerts. Thanks for the memories.
I miss you Johnny and that beautiful voice. I can only imagine what Heaven sounds like.
No one ever did sound like him
........ xss Erik Vonderlieth
Lookin GOOD !!!
What a unique voice ......that will be more........appreciate what your hearing!!....
Erik
This is jaw dropping. Too good for us. I think God made a mistake and allowed him to come to earth instead of staying in heaven. Thank u Jesus for JM and his band
Love you Johnny sip 💞
Still a classic!
Dam no oldie concerts in Califas.
I remember hearing some of this wonderful music 1991 while working at Sloan's supermarket( formerly located at 72nd st. and 1st av.).
Yes.
That was fantastic
Oh Johnny darling, where are you now that we need you ????........Erik
This is great! Loved every minute of this video. Thank you so much Red Baron for sharing. Johnny RIP.
He should of been n the rock and roll hall of fame
WTC
This concert was exactly ten years and two months before the World Trade Center tragedy on 9/11/2001.
We miss you Johnny
The best out of ny😊
3 great singers...Johnny, Les, Fred..
And jay black and the Americans too should be put on the rock and roll hall of fame
I Love C B S F M R I P Johnny Meastro
......the WCBS F.M. of the 90's.
Had such a great voice too young to pass on still listen to all his tunes and the Doo Wop
The Best
Johnny M. Is all time #1 voice with Dion a close #2. Dion had more hits than JM BUT THEIR VOCALS WERE THE BEST!! I’m 75yrs old and been listening since I was 9 because of my 12yr old brother. He was the coolest with his peg pants and DA.
and have been into R&R music since I was 8 because of my older brother. He was 12 and was the best.
Ah oooooah cousins.... this is your cousin Brucie!!
Do you have any more concerts then the five you posted? I found another channel with Leslie Gore, and that's the only female artist I found. Did any other radio stations do something similar to this?
Where was this “Oldies Thursday “ concert held?
The local oldies radio station used to host weekly summer lunchtime concerts in the plaza outside the World Trade Center's north and south towers in lower Manhattan
Why isn't this guy in the rock and roll hall of fame? IS That dick clark i heard?
He. Should be !!!!
DJ's have always been loser musicians. Strange, isn't it?
💘💘💘
JOHNNY MAESTRO
