    Sensational. What range. What beauty. Just happened to see him tonight singing this on PBS and he remains gifted. Again, he made me cry tonight. His talent is incomparable. No music today can hold a candle to this gifted man. He still has it.
    He continues to reach my soul. Current music has no soul. No one will be listening to the current music 50 years from now. I am unable to watch or listen to current music. I am grateful to yesterday.
    Vivere in eterno. Live forever Jay.

    This is a delight, I can not stop listening / watching this video over and over again. The singers of today in general are disgusting! One can resort to decay (eg, naked, scandals, sound arrangements stop correcting their mistakes) in order to be popular, but talent? little or nothing!

    Jay and The Americans-what talent!! I listen to this beautiful song and how he holds a note. I heard him do this same song when he was in his late 60's/early 70's and even though he joked about not being what it was many years earlier, I couldn't tell much difference-still a strong voice and held the note like in earlier times. Young performers and kids need to listen to Jay to hear real music. Sung without electronic inputs, synthesizers etc-just plain old fashioned TALENT. No sexual overtures, curse words and just pkain filth. Tastes have devolved to that. I miss the beauty of the 50's/60's/early 70's.

      I sort of wondered what the females thought of this guy and his voice? As a male I know of NO OTHER in pop music that can match him! (maybe Roy Orbison?) This song is in the Top 10 GOAT songs in history! Just about ALL of my FAV songs are 60s songs, but there are a few from the 80s also. I like CLASSIC C&W music from the early days as well and some 90s C&W hits. I used to be an 'amateur DJ'. I had a portable case of about 100 45s I saved from my teens in the 60s, and I used to bring them to discos in Vancouver to LIVEN up the SLEEPING patrons, and DOPED UP DJs! I'm a shallow type though! I don't give 2 shits about the 'meanings' of pop songs! I want to STOMP my feet, I want to DANCE! I want to FORGET my troubles for a bit and have a good time! WEIRD eh??? :P BTW, in the 90s I was by far THE BEST 2-stepper in the OK Korral in Kelowna, BC. I was 40-50 yrs old then. Most nights I didn't drink and I would drop about 10 lbs a night dancing with girls half my age! I had to bring 3-4 extra shirts with me bc I perspired so much! It was a great workout for me! I COULD MOVE BAYBEE!!! L0L

    Every time I hear this song it just brings me tears. This song is so sad & romantic at the same time that it touches/splits my soul. Cara Mia in Italian means " my dear ". I get chills & goose bumps specially when I hear those words " I'll be your love till the end of time", I can feel my heart beating fast as it's melting away. It must be the silly romantic side of me, a dying breed. I always believed in true love till the end time. Maybe I'm just too old fashioned in this modern society. Jay Black's voice is so full of passion when he sings this song. He is truly gifted & blessed with an amazing voice. To all the romantic guys out there who have a wonderful lady in their life, say to her "cara mia I will love you till the end of time". Say it every so often to your loved ones cuz life is too short & can reserve tragic circumstances. We are here on Earth only for a short time, so don't hold back those feelings. This song may be an oldie but is a darn goodie!!

    One of the great songs sang by such a talented singer. Even in Jay's early 70's he could still hit these high notes really well. A great and successful Group from the mid 60's.

    Can you imagine Jay Black and the late Jackie Wilson singing a duet? Two of the most magnificent voices every sung. Jay was very very good. Jackie Wilson was in a class by himself.

    David Whitfield recorded Cara Mia in 1953 or 1954. Please listen to his version, he was a real singer and never sang in falsetto. He hit the high notes of this song when he was young but in later life he gave up hitting the high notes. Please listen to him here on TH-cam. He hailed from Hull in England my home town but sadly passed away in 1980 at 53. Kindest regards to all, please listen to David Whitfields version. Malcolm
