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!
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.
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.
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.
He should be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I saw him in Nekoosa, WI at the casino in 1991. It was like my own personal concert. He signed my shirt. I love him.
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 ,,,
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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. ❤
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.
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
Wow, my AM car radio is screaming out loud, if I had the Reverbe in the back speakers of my buddies 1962 Pontiac Catalina, ! we were sounding so boss in 1963! 1
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❤

He was also trained in Oprea
Charlotte, I didn't know about the opera. I only regret not being able to see him in person. Thank you
Cara Mia The First Notes Were Just Not Surpassed. Amen, RIP Jay ! 🙏
❤Love this song. I have a friend who plays in a band & sings this song just as good as Jay Black. Makes me 😂cry every time
Great song, I only like his version. He looked great for 62, still so handsome. May he RIP. ❤️
The voice.never to be duplicated again.
Never ever again
Roy orbison
What no one ever states is that Jay had one of the most extraordinary voices of the sixties..Not enough has ever been said about his talent.
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 always thought he sounded operatic when he sings this song. Gives me chills. Loved Jay & the Americans.
May Jay Black RIP
REST IN PEACE JAY YOU WILL NEVER FORGOTTEN
This gives me chills.
May his name be for a blessing. He was an extremely talented man. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
He blew the roof off this place I remember this song way back when...It was a chart topper then and he can still do it. Brings back the memories...
Before I was be at Oro valley place in Tucson Arizona AZ feel like going back September comes back 7 or 9 weekend Sunday or Saturday
ME TOO😊
Fabulous, Fabulous Singer. So glad I lived in his time.
God Bless. One of the best voices in music. Thank you for the memories and joy you have brought so many.
❤ Jay Black and the Americans and I’m still loving them in 2024 at 66 years old!
2024 at 72 still get chills
😅😅😊
Amazing voice!!!
He should be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I saw him in Nekoosa, WI at the casino in 1991. It was like my own personal concert. He signed my shirt. I love him.
YES !!!! HE should be !!!!
I love to hear these old fellers still able to sing so beautifully....tho a few may be before my time😊
His voice was every bit as good as Roy Orbison or Frankie Valli. Rest In Peace, Jay Black.
yes he was and in my opinion,the best.this one hits hard.rip
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 ,,,
stupid comparisons
He was better
Better
How right you are Jay ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song. It’s better now than ever.
Jay Black, no one could ever sing it so well.
Fantastic!
RIP Jay ❤
Awww! 😩
Goosebumps!! and Tears!!

He was amazing! Whatever happened to the original "Jay" (Jay Trainor)?
Jay Black had an amazing voice that seemed to get better as he got older.
And memories live forever ! RIP !
Jay, you still got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

These men have fantastic voices!!!!!!!!
My very favorite. He just as wonderful as ever. Thank you, Jay. With much love.
I was about to give up, he finally sang , fantastic, yes I'm that old.
He never lost his his voice !!!
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!
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!
I had to find this performance when I heard he passed. This was so incredible and what a great attitude. RIP.
WOW. I love it. RIP Jay.
That was incredible!!
Awesome Performance.... RIP Jay Black... God Bless.
Note that after the long held note at about 3:46 Jay doesn't take a breath before starting in again. Amazing control!
This was one of my wife's favorites. She passed away 10 mnths.ago.Miss her so. This song brings a smile to my face. Love you always Baby Bird.
