The "Drifters" originally did this song "This Magic Moment" in 1960. Jay & The Americans had a bigger hit in 1968 with their cover of the song. But both versions are great!
Keep playing that 60's music guys you can't go wrong. Couple groups worth a listen to from the 60's are Gary Puckett and the Union Gap , the Hollies and the Rascals.
Couldn't agree more. I'm listening music since 58 after considerable thought 1968 was my favorite yr for music. Although 69 and 70 are not very far behind. Very difficult choice!
THIS WAS MY GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE IN 68. WE WERE 13. DIDN'T END UP TOGETHER, BUT MY WIFE OF 38 YEARS LOVES THIS SONG AS WELL. KEEP UP THE GREAT REACTIONS!
Jay Black was one of the greatest singers ever, he's a classically trained singer. I loved this song back in 69 and still do. A truly timeless song! Sadly he passed a few weeks ago. He was performing concerts into his mid 70s.
Hi Dale, Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country. To you Dale and all your Brothers who never made it back, I salute you. God Bless You. Michael
Thank you for your service to our great country. My dad went to Vietnam in 1968 also. I turned 14 in August of that year. Sometimes I wish we could go back to that innocence. Great music in the 60's. God bless you sir.
You kids are too adorable for words. In 1968, I reacted the exact same way you are reacting so many years later. Cherishing a loved one is a lost art. Bring it back, please.
Was sad when jay Black passed last October to almost zero news coverage. He was a great performer and can be seen doing "the hits" up to the time of his death.
The 60’s were the best, it’s where I left my heart of great memories & music. The 70’s were good too, but there’s just something special about your teenage year’s. You two are so sweet and loving towards each other, listening to these love song’s, love your reaction’s, beautiful couple! 👍👏👏💙💖💕🌺🌹
Jay Black was a golden voice. I was fortunate enough to have met him after a show at Busch Gardens in Tampa , Florida . Now that voice is gone. R.I.P Jay you were awesome!
I was born in 62 times were so different we wanted to all just be united and love each other. The moon landing on tv in black and white so many memories
Jay has such a distinctive voice. What a talent! I don't know if someone has mentioned it or not but he was known as The Voice. I loved his voice the first time I heard it and thousands of plays since I still love it.
Just happened upon your channel, you're a cute, happy couple, I really enjoyed your reaction vid of Jay & The Americans. I was a young teen when they were popular. He had an operatic voice. Unfortunately, he had to keep touring bcs he was forced to file bankruptcy, due to a gambling addiction. RIP, Jay (real name, David Black).
David Blatt aka Jay Black was one of the greatest singers in Rock & Roll history ever! Jay and the Americans are just one of the reasons why I considered the music of the 60's as the greatest decade in Rock & Roll history. Brilliant!😎
@@debitaylor2101 Agreed! Today's singers were not classically train and taught like back in the day. Their voices are helped with auto tune because voice coaches that were once prevalent back then are very few today.
Jay and the Americans had several hits in the 60s. Jay Black the lead singer still hit those high notes when he was closing in on 70. Glad you enjoyed this song as well as your super reaction to Cara Mia. If you have the time and interest to do a reaction to a powerful and haunting love song by the the original artist but only has a handful, if that, of reactions across the TH-cam platform. While several inferior covers have more reaction videos on TH-cam. The song is The Power of Love by Jennifer Rush, co-writer and original recording artist. If, at some point, you feel like giving it a try, here is a quality live performance link:th-cam.com/video/b_zHQ6kFuQ0/w-d-xo.html
Ah I love this song. I was a freshman in high school when this song came out, and had a big crush on this one girl in my class hoping this could be our song.
My absolute favorite by Jay and The Americans,and so glad you guys reacted to this - there's no way you could go down the rabbit hole without listening to this classic - its a shame that Jay and The Americans weren't as revered as many other 60s greats,because with Jay Black (David Blatt) they were truly gifted with one of the finest vocalists of all time - magic !
Just was a beautiful song I think it was originally done by The drifters this guy j& The Americans did a very good job on this song this guy had a wonderful voice
Hey guys you two are my favorite reactors I love you guys. I'm 78 years old and I just want to thank you for reacting to the music I grew up with. I'm digging it.
Love, Love this song. Loved it the movie the Sandlot. Great movie especially if you like baseball, Babe Ruth and some young boys enjoying their childhood.
Really enjoyed ya'll's reaction! This was originally sung by The Drifters In 68 and you should really check it out! You're going to love it! The Drifters had many great hits such as Some Kind of Wonderful, Dance With Me, and There Goes My Baby. You guys are a great couple!!
Love the way you two interact and get into the music that a lot of grew up with - we had it so good and didn't fully realize! Saw this group perform at the local fair about 10 years ago or so - 2 of the founding members told stories in between songs, they helped discover Steely Dan! And the leader singer, they referred to as "Jay #3", he sounded almost exactly like Jay #1!
Jay Black - studied for opera singing but was told his voice wasn't strong enough. Such good tone quality, control and clarity. No struggles to maintain range and control. Beautifulsong too.
You got to do a reaction to Jay and the Americans performing on the Merv Griffin show walking in the rain. It is right up there with this magic moment caramel come a little bit closer It is a fantastic vocal performance. At the very end the notes are in the stratosphere and he does it flawlessly!
I know it's 2 years on since you dropped this, but I gotta say this is one of my all time fave love songs, and I love y'alls reaction to it. Sweet, baby!
This is the one you always wanted a boy to ask you to slow dance to. Every teen band covered it. I got my first chance to dance with an older boy (16) when I was 13. I thought I was so cool!
Love your reactions! I heard Jay Black at the very end of a concert he did at the long-gone Old Chicago amusement park. I was late getting there, and I heard him sing the last half of this song as I arrived. You should look up the Jay Black tribute, where he sang lots of his hit songs for a documentary. He was about 73 years old at the time, still smoking a pack of cigarettes per day, and he could still blow the roof off the joint! Enjoy! Luv you guys!
1968 was a year I’ll never forget. This song came out, the Detroit Tigers won the World Series, I graduated from high school, and took my senior trip to Vietnam. A year etched in my mind for sure.
Great song and reaction. For another smooth song might I suggest the Johnny Rivers song "Slow Dancing, Swaying to the Music. I'm sure you will love it.
I love Shawn's mudvayne shirt & listening to Jay & the Americans...... Mel & her reactions...plus Shawn's swaying.....I love u 2......u guys have great eat for real awesome music!!!! Thank you
Great song choice from this super group. You two should be on the Steve Harvey show. Nice voice once again from Mel to end it! I sure wish you two were my neighbors- what 60's music parties we could have!
I remember this song so much when I was little, grew up with it, now there's a commercial with a girl about 5 biting into a hamburger with this song, it's great

One again, can't go wrong with Jay and the Americans
The "Drifters" originally did this song "This Magic Moment" in 1960. Jay & The Americans had a bigger hit in 1968 with their cover of the song. But both versions are great!
The lead singer of the Drifters who sang this song was a guy named Ben E. King - same fellow who sang "Stand By Me", which you did a while back.
Yes. 1969.
I'm with you on this......I like both versions.
Completely disagree. The original is way better. This one is ok but can’t compete with drifters.
Listen to jay and the Americans. Cara Mia
Jay is awesome
Keep playing that 60's music guys you can't go wrong. Couple groups worth a listen to from the 60's are Gary Puckett and the Union Gap , the Hollies and the Rascals.
The fabulous Jay black and the Americans
68 was a good year I was 15 years old it was a great time to be alive
I was 17 & I agree
Me too I was 18
I was the same age and yeah it was great
Couldn't agree more. I'm listening music since 58 after considerable thought 1968 was my favorite yr for music. Although 69 and 70 are not very far behind. Very difficult choice!
THIS WAS MY GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE IN 68. WE WERE 13. DIDN'T END UP TOGETHER, BUT MY WIFE OF 38 YEARS LOVES THIS SONG AS WELL. KEEP UP THE GREAT REACTIONS!
I too was 13 in 68, loved this song then, my wife of 35 years loves it too...keep on rockin...young in our hearts✌
Total make out song.
Jay and the Americans had a few hits that I adored. WONDERFUL hearing them again!
Jay Black was one of the greatest singers ever, he's a classically trained singer. I loved this song back in 69 and still do. A truly timeless song! Sadly he passed a few weeks ago. He was performing concerts into his mid 70s.
I think he died last year.
@@williamjordan5554 he did. One of the greatest singers ever
Loved all his songs! Come A Little Bit Closer is my favorite!
You never get tired of listening to the songs these guys do.
You guys are awesome Mel your gorgeous Shawn your facial expressions are worth a million dollars
I remember this one well. I was shipping out to Vietnam in 1968. Great music I grew up with
Hi Dale,
Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country. To you Dale and all your Brothers who never made it back, I salute you. God Bless You. Michael
Thank you for your service to our great country. My dad went to Vietnam in 1968 also. I turned 14 in August of that year. Sometimes I wish we could go back to that innocence. Great music in the 60's. God bless you sir.
You kids are too adorable for words. In 1968, I reacted the exact same way you are reacting so many years later. Cherishing a loved one is a lost art. Bring it back, please.
Everything they have done is magic! Walking in the Rain is another amazing choice can't wait until you react to it!!
Was sad when jay Black passed last October to almost zero news coverage. He was a great performer and can be seen doing "the hits" up to the time of his death.
I just loved the music before violence and screaming fowl language like it's nothing. Thanks for bringing back the magic stuff💕
You are so cute together! Love watching your interactions!

Loved listening to Jay Black and the Americans. Their song, Cara Mia, is pure gold.
Jay and the Americans were a HUGE success back in the day.
I really liked this song when I first heard it back in the 60’s. And I’m 66!
Some enchanted evening and only in America my 2 favorite J&A songs
I was so young when this came out loved it then love it now
Jay has such a distinctive voice. What a talent! I don't know if someone has mentioned it or not but he was known as The Voice.

Every song he touched was awesome! What a talent and a funny man he was! R.I.P.
WOW! Jay & The Americans man they are good.great job S&M.

We are losing the greats. Who's gonna sing their songs? Not many artists out there that can actually sing without autotune.

Great song! Amazing band!
I remember the first time I heard this song, maybe 71 or so. And I really liked it!
Ah I love this song. I was a freshman in high school when this song came out, and had a big crush on this one girl in my class hoping this could be our song.
I love the song so much and I love your reaction to it even more . I hope you are this happy forever xxx .
One of my favorites of all time... I loved it when I first heard on the radio as a kid in 68...
You both have great chemistry together! Never lose that spark!
Absolutely one of the best songs ever!!♥️🌹🎶
WE LADIES LOVED THAT SONG WHEN IT CAME OUT .STILL JUST AS GOOD
This is the song I picked for my Daugherty wedding, when she and I dance.
Check "She Cried". Early Jay and the Americans with the first Jay.
Great song from a great singer.. The sixties the best era in R & R music / love songs IMO
This was a good song to dance the ChaCha to when us teen girls were hanging out, Fantastic memories! Love you guys!

JAY AND THE AMERICANS, "THIS MAGIC MOMENT " REALLY GROOVY 1968 HIT. LEADING INTO THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER WRITTEN. JEFFERSON STARSHIP, "MIRACLES"
Magic moment radiating from both of you in this reaction. I love how this song got you lost in the moment. ♥
They were great
Oh yea, his voice is dynamic
Thank you so much! Memories of my High School Dances, holding my girl tight dancing the night away🎶❤️
Love the way you two interact and get into the music that a lot of grew up with - we had it so good and didn't fully realize!

A truly great song. Played it at our wedding.
Bring the 60's back, I miss them. lol

Rewatching this one. Watching the two of you listening to these beautiful love songs, makes it so much better. The two of you are so much in love. 😊
You'd love the Grass Roots! Temptation Eyes, Midnight Confession, I'd Wait A Million Years. I live you two!!!!!
Lol. I'm about to recommend Midnight Confession as well.
What a voice. Great song.
Y’all are adorable🥰 Jay and the Americans were one of the best and I need a cigarette 😜
Jay Black - studied for opera singing but was told his voice wasn't strong enough. Such good tone quality, control and clarity. No struggles to maintain range and control. Beautifulsong too.
You got to do a reaction to Jay and the Americans performing on the Merv Griffin show walking in the rain. It is right up there with this magic moment caramel come a little bit closer It is a fantastic vocal performance. At the very end the notes are in the stratosphere and he does it flawlessly!

I'm glad you truly loved this "magical" song.
I am really digging how you two are enjoying the music of my life
Back in the day music was almost always about love.
This is the one you always wanted a boy to ask you to slow dance to. Every teen band covered it. I got my first chance to dance with an older boy (16) when I was 13. I thought I was so cool!
One of my favorite songs.

I still get the chills when I hear this great song and Jay Blacks magical voice 1968
Whenever I hear this song by this group it immediately takes me back to my teens when all was right with world and I was in love for the first time.
That guy had some magical pipes!
There you guys go again--being beautiful.
This song was a favorite at weddings for decades. Great band,great song.
1968 was a year I’ll never forget. This song came out, the Detroit Tigers won the World Series, I graduated from high school, and took my senior trip to Vietnam. A year etched in my mind for sure.
Great song and reaction. For another smooth song might I suggest the Johnny Rivers song "Slow Dancing, Swaying to the Music. I'm sure you will love it.
I can see he's feeling the love for you, Jay Black lead singer
Like your comments on the video's. Lovely couple. Wish you a lifelong happiness together. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Absolutely loved this music. I graduated high school in 1968! We were so blessed that we had this kind of music in our lives!
One of the best groups ever
