Mini Biography
Brooklyn native Johnny Maestro (born John Mastrangelo) has the distinction of being in three top-selling vocal groups dating back to the early days of rock-and-roll: the Del-Satins and the Crests in the 1950s and the Brooklyn Bridge in the 1960s and 1970s. He was the lead singer in the Crests, formed in 1956. That group, renowned for its smooth harmonies that typified the "doo-wop" sound of the 1950s, had several big hits, among them the classic "Sixteen Candles" in 1958, but also charted with "Step By Step," "The Angels Listened In" and "Trouble in Paradise." Maestro left the Crests in 1960 and recorded on his own (although the Crests backed him up on several of his records). He managed to place some of his songs in the top 20, but his solo career didn't go much beyond that. In 1968 he combined two groups, the Del-Satins--for whom he sang in the 1950s and who had provided back up on several of Dion DiMucci's hit records in the 1960s--and a Long Island group called Rhythm Method into an 11-piece band and renamed them The Brooklyn Bridge. Their first record was also their biggest, "The Worst That Could Happen." They had some minor hits after that, but the group finally disbanded in 1970. Maestro continues to appear in oldies shows, both solo and with different versions of The Brooklyn Bridge.

The Way You Look Tonight
Johnny Maestro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday
When I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm

And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Hmm...

Hmm...
Just the way you look tonight
