"16 Candles" is a 1958 song performed by the Crests and written by Luther Dixon and Allyson R. Khent.

7" vinyl Single originally released in 1958 on Coed Records.

(#506) This song has appeared prominently in several 'entertainment' contexts, including at least two major Hollywood [motion picture] productions.

It was an example of a typical Doo-wop song in the 1973 movie American Graffiti[4] and it had somewhat of a 'title role' in the 1984 movie Sixteen Candles.
