![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 70 | คู่เอก "โฟกัส vs สเตฟาน"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_fVieQ89DRQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Imagine a bunch of kids under 10 years old outside playing and singing, "Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man..." Yeah, we did.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yep!
Same here.
I’m only 21, so I wasn’t around at that time, but I also sang this song and that line as a kid. I loved 50’s-early 60’s music as a kid. It wasn’t until I was a teenager I really got into the mid 60’s (Beatles) and future!
When I was a 15 year old working at the A&W drive in restaurant I got to take my 18 year old co-worker Erica to go see Jay and the Americans perform at Waterloo Lutheran University. (We were both young, innocent and naïve.)
Anyway, I was so impressed that I scraped together my nickels and dimes and ran out to buy their LP, the black one with gold lettering and wore it out on a cheap seabreeze record player.
Got to add my vote for "Cara Mia". The didn't call Jay Black "The Voice" for nothing. RIP.
You have to hear Jay’s voice on Cara Mia
That PBS performance of Cara Mia is one of the most stunning performances of his. Even better 45 years after the original.
Jimmie Rodgers "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"...A Must Hear Classic.
This was a great band from the 60's-70's. The lead singer had a powerful voice. Some of their hits were "She Cried", "Come A Little Bit Closer", "Cara Mia", "Only In America" etc. In 1969, they recorded an album of their favorite oldies called "Sands Of Time", which included the hit "This Magic Moment" (The Drifters). They also had a hit with "Walkin' In The Rain" (The Ronettes).
All true.
Love you guys but you got to let the flow of song go.
Jay Black singing lead on Cara Mia is a classic. One of the best voices in pop music. And NO autotune.
I suggested Cara Mia previously. Jay was still doing it in his seventies! That's the one to watch.
I bet Jose didn't leave her alone anymore after that..... LOLOL
I love jay black,. Beautiful voice, 🎶🎶🎶🎶💕🎶💕🎶
Jay black just past in October. He still sound great into his seventies. You need to do a reaction of them doing Cara Mia. It will blow you mind.
Here is that clip of him in his 70's.

So right!!
RIP Jay, passed away Oct 2021. They were my first concert. My friend and I got lost in the arena took wrong turn leaving, ran smack into Jay as we turned the corner. He was so nice. Only in America, Ciara Mia
One of my all-time favorite songs. You can't help get a smile on your face!
The best part of that song is he was holding his drink the entire time he was dancing, and only dropped it before he jumped out the window.😂😂😂
Right.🤣
I love your reactions to this song, you guys are too cute!
Another gr8 song 🎵. Love your reaction ♥. Thx for sharing.
"Cara Mia" is amazing if you haven't already reacted
Have been waiting for someone to do Jay & the Americans - they are wonderful 🎶☮️😻🇨🇦
What a great old song. your reactions were perfect. NOW you have to listen to their other big hit, Cara Mia. Jay's voice really shines. Perhaps the longest held note in all of popular music. Peace.
The love you 2 share is beautiful to experience. God bless and keep on rockin.
Absolutely!
Don't forget "This Magic Moment" ❤
"Cara Mia " and the great song but not mentioned enough "let's Lock the Door" (and throw away the key) are both gems by Jay and the Americans. 👍
Love Jay Black( lead singer) Cara Mia ( Now & Then) in this video Jay Black, the lead singer Jay Black sings this song when he was young in 1965, then again almost 50 years later still sounding the same. Jay wanted to be an opera singer at one time . Other songs : Some Enchanted Evening, She Cried, This Magic Moment, Walking In The Rain, Crying, Only In America, and many more👍👍💯👏
Jay Black had one of the best voices in music History!!
RIP, Jay Black --------------what a voice he had. -----------------------MJL< 76 y/o
It's fun hearing all these old songs again and finding out who performed them. Way back childhood memories!
Awesome - you really need to hear "This Magic Moment" as lead singer Jay Black (David Blatt) just totally owns this Drifters cover - a total classic,as is "Cara Mia".
My favourite song by them is "Cara Mia". One day they were playing Oldies at work and I heard it. It blew me away. I'd also suggest "El Paso" by Marty Robbins. A similar story to this one but with a different outcome. I won't say more.
Jay Black has the voice of an angel, but the vocabulary of a long shoreman!
I just love your reactions to this great music. It’s great to see your interpretations. Thank you.
I'm telling you, y'all could make the ingredients off a cough syrup bottle worth listening to. 😉
So fun and mischievous this song ... 😉
I love Jay & The Americans!!! Love them!!! Love them!!!! Love them when I first heard them on the radio in the 60's!!!!
One of my favorite groups from the 60s and 70s. If you like this song you should try "Let's Lock the Door and Throw Away the Key". Oldies classic.
Luvvv Come a little bit closer. Jay's voice ..so smoothe play it again
You folks have the greatest reaction videos, and you listen to all kinds of music. I grew up with this music. As a matter of fact I saw Jay and the Americans in concer5 about 20 years ago. Boy, he could still hit the high notes!
Great song from a great group .... I was 15 when I first heard this. RIP Jay Black.
Jay and The Americans…this was always an old favorite.
Doggone it, there's just something fantastic about sharing really good music with such lovely people........
This is such a great song!
She said that to all the guys.
From the Summer of '64, all of us guys sang this in the car, with the radio turned up!
Ease check out Cara Mia...very powerful
I absolutely love this song ❤️🙂
great reaction guys. Another Jay and the Americans song to check out is "Only in America"
The band began in the late 50's called The Harborlites, with Jay Traynor at lead vocals their, big hit in 1962 was, "She cried' that reached number 5 on the charts. Traynor left the group soon after when other songs didn't do so well. In comes David Black who agreed to change his first name to Jay. They put out more top ten hits with Jay Black singing lead.
I have heard that song on the radio a million times, but that was the first time I really listened closely to the lyrics. It was fun listening to it with you guys. Mel , you have such a beautiful smile, and Shawn when you laugh it is contagious. Thank you for brightening my day. :)
You have to hear jay and the Americans sing this magic moment.
You have to check out Cara Mia. Jay's voice is incredible!!!
You guys reaction is so great!
Jose' was spending too much time at work. . . ! That girl knew how to play it. I vote for Cara Mia, along with the others in the comments- you will be blown away by Jay Black's voice; their best performance. Major vocal group in the mid sixties.
Been pushing for Jay since he passed away last October. You guys are the first reactors to cover. Wish it would have been Cara Mia but this song is terrific also.
I am so glad I was around when this music was out... yeah I am up there in age. Born at the right time.
i've got this on vinyl, and i've always loved it - for 50 yrs or so lol
The lead singer, Jay Black, was trained as a Cantor, who leads the synagogue in Jewish prayer, and where the training is like an opera singer. Another Jay and the Americans song you must listen to is Cara Mia, where you will surely witness Jay Black’s cantorial training.
My teens. We really had some wonderful singers and musicians. Thanks
This was one of my dad's favorite song. I grew up listening to it, probably one of the first I knew all the lyrics for!
This, "Cara Mia", and "This Magic Moment", three of their greatest hits. They still are iconic now as they were when first released.
In 2011, I sang this song at a Karaoke Theatre venue in the Mayan Riviera, Mex. Won 1st prize! ( My fave group of all time)!
Proverbial Latin "Black Widow". I had a Lil HOT Latina named Estelle that was one of those. Back in 1980, she almost got me killed by NOT telling me about her being married. OMG, that brings sweats back to the old memory bank. OUT a window I went. lol omg
Any Jay and the Americans song is top notch. You guys played Ronettes music over the last few days. Check out Jay and the Americans version of "Walking In The Rain". Cannot go wrong. Thank you for this reaction.
Lol. I absolutely love you two!!!! Ty so much for making me smile 😁😁😁😁😁
Your reaction is so much fun on this one and as a kid I never really listened to the lyrics until now!🤪
Absolutely love this song.
Jay Black had a tremendous voice he had so many octaves he could sing opera. He could any octave from opera to pop. He’s gone now, and will miss him.
This Magic Moment next please and Cara Mia. Incredible songs. 😊
Thanks for this one and The Turtles! 👏👏👏👏
Oh yeah, Jose was busy out beating up other guys. 🤣🤣🤣
love it
I think she would have been alone, because everyone in the cafe knew she was
Bad Man Jose's girl and didn't want to mess with her.
I grew up listening to them all of the time. My mom had their Greatest Hits on VINYL. :)
This Magic Moment is another great song of theirs
Amen, Donatella! When I saw the words, Jay and the Americans above, I immediately thought it would be Cara Mia. Jay’s operatic voice is really showcased in that iconic song.
I hope Shawn and Mel do it soon.
WHAT A GREAT LATIN FEEL TO THIS SONG!!!!!😂
LOVE THE BEAT!!!!!!
You two are the BEST!!!! Please ZZ TOPS,, I need you tonight !!
Another song James Gunn memorialized in Guardians of the Galaxy! Love it! ❤️😁
Shawn and Mel. Back in the 60s, my dad and uncle worked for the school system in northern NJ. Jay and the Americans played a concert at one of the high schools. So, my parents and uncle saw a concert just a few feet away from them. Their favorite song back then was "This Magic Moment."
Jay Black died not that long ago, but his voice stayed pretty amazing all his life. What a voice!!!
The fact i see more kids listening to classics warms my soul im onky 28 but I remeber before my grandfather died he showed me his favorite song and when ever I play it I recall all the great memories I had of him, he taught me alot but his love for having a wide range of music styles and taste and genres is what really stayed with me most
Listen to Only in America, Jays voice is incredible!
I loved it, it's been a real long time since I've heard this song. It made me laugh. I forgot some of the words that he says, I love it. !!!!! 🤗🥰
This is from the summer of '64--------------a perfect song !
There were 3 Jay lead singers in this group. This is Jay Black, sadly passed 2 weeks ago. To me he was the best. You haven't heard his incredible range, worth checking out CARA MIA. GREAT songs, This Magic Moment, Hushabye. One of my favorites is Walking in the Rain a song u just reacted to by the Ronettes . He was a classically trained singer. One of the best!!
Fun songs by ray stevens, Mississippi squirrel revival is hilariously different
Thankyou for playing this🎶
You guys rock 👍🏻
You two are the cutest couple togeather!
Loved this group back in the 60's when I was a little kid with my radio on constantly! I also loved "Let's Lock the Door", "Sunday And Me" and "Some Enchanted Evening". They were amazing and worth a listen.
You need to do a reaction video of Jay Black and The Americans on the Mike Douglas show. They performed come a little bit closer and they done walking in the rain it is simply fantastic. The note she hits at the end of walking in the rain is in the stratosphere and the song is absolutely beautiful. The best singer of all time!!!
Loved this song when it came out and haven't heard it in years. By the way, does it remind anyone of "Gimme Three Steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd? Not the sound and actual lyrics, but the premise of the story.
Shawn nailed it! She is definitely trouble, lol.
This Magic Moment
I remember listening to this song on my transistor radio back in the 60’s. I this brings back memories of me dancing along the sidewalk with my little radio on my way home from school.
J Geils band --gimme 2 steps.
Check out El Paso, Marty Robbins...love to see your reactions...it's a great compliment to this song.
LOL..... That chic was a PLAYER!!!!! Good one guys enjoyed it!
i have this in my vehicle and listen to it every time i go somewhere
Jay Black, lead singer, just passed away Oct. 22, 2021, at age 82. we're losing these guys left and right. Love these songs that tell stories. why was hse all alone? Jose went to the liquor store or something...
Great song great group ,when sounds were changing and the British invasion was expanding Jay and the Americans wanted to keep the classic American rock and roll sound going
Love this song
Along the lines of this song is a song by the AMAZING Mike Nesmith and The Monkees "What am I doing Hanging Round" *You will love it!!!*
Luv your reactions..... 😘
The days when songs told a story & you understood the lyrics. Great Stuff! I miss those days!
Sweet City Woman by The STAMPEDERS 1973.
Please do "Cara Mia"! It will blow your minds. You're welcome
