The Crests was perhaps the most diverse and racially integrated group in Doo Wop including two black men, a Puerto Rican, an Italian, and a black woman. That female was Patricia Vandross, older sister of Luther Vandross. But when Patricia’s mother refused to let her young daughter go out on tour, the Crests became a quartet. They first caught the attention of record buyers everywhere in 1959 with “16 Candles.” More hits followed like “The Angels Listened In.” That single is worth up to $40.00 but the EP, released on COED Records in 1960, can sell for $1,000.00 today.
