Jay Black lead vocal for Jay and the Americans a band that had me spellbound growing up in the late 50s early sixties.I had everyone of their albums and played them over and over along with the 4 seasons ,Lou Christie and of course the Beatles and the Stones. Yet all the while it was Jay and the Americans I listened to the most .My mother was a dance teacher and thought these singers were OK because you could understand them and dance to their music too. Read the posts and one says it all .Jay Black at his age and can still hold a note for over 15 secs and still sounding as he did all those lost years ago.
You're right Ray, What a voice. The old bugger is a year older than I am and is an inspiration.
Just what I needed to see after ten days in hospital with pneumonia and finding it difficult to keep up dancing. At least I can still hear so I can still go to dances and pubs just for the music.
