Roy, Jay, elvis, Nat King cole, Dusty Springfield, and many other singers who have given us musical pleasure over the years,: Vale ... you are not forgotten; and never will be ,,,
WHAT AN AMAZING MAN. THE POWERFUL VOICE THE LOOKS JAY HAD THE LOT. ONLY ABOUT THREE (3) WELL KNOWN SINGERS COULD HIT THOSE HIGH C5 NOTES . THE BIG O ( ROY ORBISON). AND BARRY GIBB (BEE GEES). THOSE GENTLEMEN WERE BLESSED WITH A GIFT FROM GOD. SO SAD TO HEAR OF JAYS PASSING 2-11-38 TO 22-10-21. JAY (DAVID) BLACK YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND MAY YOU R.I.P.
As great as this was, there's a similar PBS concert ten years later that has Jay Black singing this song. He's looking a bit older at 72, but his pipes are as strong as ever and actually better, in my opinion. He holds notes in that performance even longer than in this performance, and at one point, he even checks his watch while holding a high note. It's both comical and amazing. Check it out. It's definitely worth it.
PBS in TV show on doing more research on him being family members are in their website and they have pee wees playhouse and sesame Street area 50 years 30 years 35 years before New
CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF JAY AND THE AMERICANS. WHAT AN AMAZING BAND. (DAVID BLATT) as JAY BLACK. YOU WERE SO SO GOOD THERE WERE NOT MANY SINGERS IN THIS WORLD WHO COULD HOLD THOSE HIGH NOTES AND CONTINUE WITHOUT BREATHING AND STILL FINISH THE WORDING JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD. DAVID BLATT (JAY) I DON’T THINK YOU KNEW IN YOURSELF THAT YOU WERE SO GOOD. MAN OH MAN CHAMPION BAND.---CHAMPION BLOKE. (man). R.I.P. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES JAY.
I was in my teens with this music and although I loved it back then, I appreciate it more now, and I’m 76. I’ve been watching videos of Jay Black lately and really appreciate what a tremendous voice He had. RIP Jay!
My favorite song - and greatest singer - RIP, Jay - 82, dead this week - Thank you for your continued pursuit of you avocation, profession, and love of music - Peace, T.K.
I was about 9 years old when I first saw, and heard "Jay and the Americans", sing this song on television. I fell in love with the song and the singer that day. I will be 67 my next birthday and "Cara Mia" is still my No.1 song of all time. Love the song and will forever love the way Mr. Black sings it. His voice is perfect for the rendition of this song. 😊🤗💖 Update: Just found out Mr. Blatt (Jay Black) has passed away a few days ago...😔😢😫💔💔 my heart is truly sad right now. R.I.P. Mr. Blatt, and thank you.
I was a few years behind you hearing Jay And The Americans. I was 20 years in early 1980 stationed in Rota Spain when I first heard this song on AFRS. For this and a lot of other great music that I missed the first time around I am glad the AFRS played the older stuff. I hope your 67th is/was a happy one.
My husband & I saw him in Atlantic City in 1994, he was wonderful and took pictures with us. We still have the pictures. His young son was performing with him.
Only heard of jay black yesterday, wow wow wow, best voice i have ever heard,played his songs non stop for the last day, i missed out on a legend, but thanks to you tube i can listen to this group for ever.
What a great voice he had. At 62 in 2001 he really could hit those high notes. RIP JAY BLACK. You will always be in my heart ❤. You were such a powerful singer.
This performance made a fan out of me all over again. I read that during the later years of his career, he spent much of his shows being a raconteur and was known as a witty, raunchy story teller. TH-cam old videos to remember what a sexy gorgeous guy he was!
Absolutely one of my top favorite singers. I had such a crush on him when I was young. That voice, oh that voice. RIP Jay, no one could sing like you. ❤
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIS TALENT, SKILLS, DOWN TO EARTH PERSONALITY ‼️‼️‼️ BLESSED FOR SURE‼️‼️❤️❤️💚💚💜💜💙💙💛💛🥰🥰 EVERY TIME HE SINGS MY HEART IS SO HAPPY WITH JOY AND RESPECT👍🏽🥰😇🙏🏼👆🏼🙌 TRULY BLESSED ‼️🥰💚❤️💜💛
I love all his songs! Such talent never dies as the memories live on. I was a lonely teenager and I would sing along with him as he came on the radio. So, many great songs of an era gone by. I think it would be great if someone could put together a video of him doing a duet with himself when he was young and like with this one.
I adored Johnny Maestro He had the greatest voice. Went to see him all the time. Once he and the boys were playing at a club. I saw them going into their dressing room after the show . They noticed me and invited to come in. They were all so sweet. When I had heard he passed away I couldn't stop crying. Johnny was such a wonderful person and the best singer. When he passed away his memory left a big hole in the world. . I cry whenever I play his albums. R.I.P. Johnny. Thanks for all the great times. You shall never be forgotten ♥️ Lois Dolman June 22, 2024
I will be 65 in a few months, and I can honestly say there were a lot of great singers in my lifetime. There was Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Freddie Mercury, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole...Hell, I could go on and on...but Jay Black was fantastic!
Sin duda alguna hay que tener cuerdas vocales y pulmones para interpretar esta canción, y Jay Black los tiene! Hace ya unos 40 años pude comprar un LP (disco de acetato) de "Jay & The Americans" donde aparece esta magnífica canción; pero además el LP constituyó para mí una agradable sorpresa pues además de Cara Mía en el disco se encuentran Gypsy Woman, When you dance, This magic moment, y una increíble versión de Stand by de de otro gran intérprete: B.B. King. El LP es producido por El Palacio de la Música, disquera venezolana, serie "D" para el sello disquero United Artists Records bajo el modo de reproducción estéreo compatible y para ese tiempo me costó Bs. 28,00 lo compre en Discos Catia que quedaba (ya la tienda no existe) frente a la Plaza de Catia, parroquia Sucre o simplemente Catia. Mi disco, al que yo atesoro, después de 4 décadas está buenísimo y suena mejor que nunca! Saludos (17/02/2024)
最近、彼の76才と言った動画を観ました
同じようにジョークを言ってました😂
歌い始めると
驚きの声が出ます
彼は偉大です🎉
とても素晴らしいです❤感動しました❤
Best voice ever! This song belongs to him!
I believe you are correct. Best voice ever.
Never heard anyone else even try to sing it.
@@bobkain350 The drifters did it originally I believe but their version pales in comparison.
AMAZING. WHAT A WONDERFUL VOICE. JAY YOU ARE THE BEST.
Im crying! What a voice! One of my favorite songs ever! ❤❤❤
don't blame you
I'm listening and watching 7 months later and I'm crying too!
Same here
Feb 22 2024 still listen to him, Jay 😊
Jay Black the BEST of the BEST. RIP
❤
His voice was every bit as good as Roy Orbison or Frankie Valli. Rest In Peace, Jay Black.

Roy, Jay, elvis, Nat King cole, Dusty Springfield, and many other singers who have given us musical pleasure over the years,: Vale ... you are not forgotten; and never will be ,,,

@@MsBonnieBlue 3:31
I don't think he knew how good he was either
Beautiful song, sung by a great great entertainer, love his music!

This music will live on forever, at the age of 77 I grew up with this Dave from RI
My husband & I saw him in Atlantic City in 1994, he was wonderful and took pictures with us. We still have the pictures. His young son was performing with him.
