Just listening to 'Closer to your Heart" this morning, love this track, love his voice, but who was J.T. Carter? credits read Jay Carter, so I guess thats him, and the 'T' is a second name... other than that I know nothing about him.

With the Crests...

 

Talmoudge Gough, J.T., Harold Torres
Front Center - Johnny Maestro

 

And today...

Wasn't Johhny Maestro lead singer of the Crests? I'm sure he was.

I assume J T Carter was on backing vocal on this beauty.

What a voice Johhny Maestro has.

For a while yes but then they went their separate ways...by the early 60's...Some Maestro records appear with JM and "The Crests" although in reality they weren't there......it was a source of friction between Maestro and the remaining Crests.

Anybody in need of a copy of JT Carter "Closer to your heart"? I got one up for sale in shiny EX condition complte with Decca sleeve. Just drop me a line with your best offer. Cheers.

Turn the record to the other side n you get a much better up tempo sound. 'Wild ones'

 

But thats just me

 

Both sides quality (2 sides for the price of one)

I always thought of JT Carter as being white. Thanks for putting that right.
