Hi everyone. I am looking for this video but without the timer and annotations in the middle. If someone has it and would like to share it, exchange it or sell it, please let me know.
As a teenager, I realized our rock 'n' roll music, groovy clothing, and teenage universe wouldn't last forever, so I began making recordings of 77 WABC "Music Power Radio", New York City - airchecks I have to this day. Jay & The Americans lived in the American Top-40 throughout the '60s. RIP Jay - and thanks for the wonderful music and memories.

He was the best! So sweet, kind and amazing voice. Just beautiful. Heaven has another Angel, I hope they are all singing together. Wouldn't it be great if we will get to meet him and them all. God bless, RIP sweet Jay that made so many people happy! Bless his family
That was the age of when our morals were uncorrupted and you could buy a house for less then 50 grand, a brand new car for less then 5 grand, a Cadillac for 7 grand, gasoline for .35 cents a gallon. Wow! And no fucking Coronavirus or AIDS/HIV for that matter!
@@joefont7788 The nuclear arms race, Vietnam, Smoking promoted as healthy, the mass use of pesticides, the assassination of JFK the playboy president, the LSD generation.... very uncorrupted indeed 😃
Carter Rubin is the grandson of the electric guitar player on the right. Carter was a contestant on The Voice S19 E3 in year 2020 Fall. That led me here. Glad I came. I'm 75 years old now - love the old songs - from the doo -wop style. Some of my High School buddies and I used to sing some of these songs at parties or school performances. Good times.
Jay "kills" this Drifters recording. Is it just me or does anyone else dig how square Howie, Marty and Kenny look? They blended very well, great chemistry onstage., very cool.
you go listen to Javier Solis or Jorge Negrete then you come back here and we talk......But I don't Deny that he had the best voice for American singer at the time....Timeless even....better than ol blue eyes by far......
Andreas C. This “Jay” (Jay (David Blatt) Black) is who made The Americans a hit. The previous (and original) “Jay” (John “Jay” Traynor) didn’t have nearly the quality of voice as Jay Black. The last time I heard Jay Black sing (several years ago), he still had that fabulous and very distinctive voice. I don’t think there has ever been anyone that could imitate it.
Remembering Howie Kane born on June 6, 1941. He was an American pop singer who was a member of Jay and the Americans. He sang vocals for the band between 1960 and 1973, and again from 2006 until his death in March 2023. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howie_Kane
Awesome song. For the only man I ever loved. I miss you darling. This is your song. I hope you remember me and the two of us dancing together way past midnight. I will always love you ❣️
I'm with you Cheryl. The "love of my life "passed away 3 years ago this coming July 26. This definitely wasn't "her music", (she grew up in the 80s), and honestly even though I grew up in the 60s, I was more Hendrix, Cream, Beatles, BUT this song was on my "radar", because we ALL still listened to Top 40 back then. It's the lyrics. Until I kissed her, I mean REALLY kissed her ( her name was Lisa), I never realized how much I could love someone. I listen to this, I think of her, and I cry.............. but it's all good, because I think of how much I loved, (and still) love her and I appreciate, how much of my emotions were dedicated, and wrapped up in my love for her!!!!!!
I heard this song the other day when I was getting my first dose of COVID vaccine. It was a festive atmosphere as boomers were so happy to start the process to a New normal !
Different generation here. Born on the tail end of this. How is it the entire edifice of this kind of popular music was toppled so completely forever, by the likes of The Who, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan etc?
The Stones, Who & Dylan all started out about the same time as Jay & the Americans, maybe even earlier. Early 60's. Jay and the Americans first hit was She Cried, and it was not even sung by "Jay Black", who's real name is David Blatt, a nice Jewish boy, from Astoria.
