Between the end of 1958 and late 1960, New York based vocal group The Crests had 9 top 100 hit singles in the U.S. The most well known .of these and possibly the most well known Doo-Wop of all time was 16 Candles, the kind of record that Frank Zappa (him again!!) called 'greasy love songs of cretin simplicity' - and none the worse for it. 16 Candles is the epitome of the American Teen Dream and no 50s revival movie would be complete without it. It was a number 2 hit on Billboard and is of course included in our Best Of package as are all other 8 hits from The Crests.
