If you haven't, check out the Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge Wiki page. It reads like an angry ex-band member or spouse wrote it.

"Patricia Van Dross, older sister to famed R&B singer Luther Vandross, sang with Johnny Maestro while The Crests were signed to the Joyce Record label. Before The Crests signed with Coed Records, Patricia left the group because her mother didn't want her 15-year old daughter touring with the older guys."
"According to Cauchi, members of the group ran into Maestro at a local gym, playing his guitar, and approached him with the offer to join the group. After initially turning them down, Maestro's manager, Betty Sperber, called Cauchi and told him Maestro had changed his mind."
"The new group's name came about after White made the off-handed comment that 'it would be easier to sell the Brooklyn Bridge' than book the proposed 11-piece act."
"... the controversial 'Your Husband, My Wife' also reached the middle ranges of the charts."

Here's a new poem I just wrote:
Johnny Maestro
on a PC
at the Queens library
crafting the Brooklyn Bridge (band) Wikipedia entry
single finger typing
occasionally bumping elbows with Spike

"Coed Records." Charming to the last.
