Listen to their 'Cara Mia' original. His voice is amazing but at the end you also get to hear the voices of all of the other singers....they were amazing as well.

BOY OH BOY WE WERE SO LUCKY TO HAVE BANDS LIKE JAY AND THE AMERICANS IN THE 1960s. THE VOICE OF DAVID BLATT(JAY) IS AMAZING THE VOCALS -WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE. FIFTY (50) YEARS ON STILL THE SAME. WONDERFUL MAN-WONDERFUL BAND. JUST LOVED THEIR WORK. MAY YOU R.I.P. DAVID (JAY) YOU WERE - THE MAN. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

"Is this Passover?" Can't stop laughing at that. Jay was the man.

A classy and thoughtful intro by Shelly Berman and Mike Douglas. Mike Douglas was a terrific crooner in his own right. Jay Black was a talent unto himself.

@georgemusic4all4seasons 4 года назад

Talk about a group with a damn great lead singer, all members were very talented in their own right. The ending to walking in the rain, what a voice. What a classic piece of tv history and thanks so much for posting.

Here it is March 20, 2024 and I woke up at 5 AM and I don’t know why this song came into my head. From the moment I heard it I loved it and me being Latino and being raised in Northwestern Ohio at that time this song definitely touch something inside of me. Thank you for posting it. I’ll be listening to this song until my last day on earth.

Incredible. What I have noticed about Jay in his live performances, his voice is so powerful that he doesn't even have to open his mouth very far.😊❤

It's sad to see him in his prime knowing this great talent has left us. I grew up in the same neighborhood as Jay, and we loved his music and were proud of him, and many of us tried to emulate his long and hanging note in Cara Mia to no avail. He was one of a kind.

"Is this Passover?" (4:50) Jay kills me with his stage banter he still does today. Finest yiddish Rock & Roll performers who just took American Rock and Roll in their hands with great material, style and talent.

And you know something , Jay Black could still sing as good into his 60s as back then ...yes even the high notes,no probs a great vocal range from his earlier operatic training,, a lovely chap as well.

"Walking in the Rain" is actually a song originally sung by the Ronettes from 1964. The Jay and the Americans version is a cover. That said, their version is so powerful! They really sang this so well!

Jay sadly passed away in recent years, Because of his financial situation, through gambling and tax issues, he worked for many years longer than his voice could really handle. He had one of the best voices in pop history..
