The group released its debut album in 1969, scoring a top five hit and a gold record with "The Worst that Could Happen". By 1972, the Brooklyn Bridge had sold over 10 million records and established Johnny Maestro as one of the premier vocal talents of the era. In 2005, the Brooklyn Bridge were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
The Duprees are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
