As a teenager, I realized our rock 'n' roll music, groovy clothing, and teenage universe wouldn't last forever, so I began making recordings of 77 WABC "Music Power Radio", New York City - airchecks I have to this day. Jay & The Americans lived in the American Top-40 throughout the '60s. RIP Jay - and thanks for the wonderful music and memories.
He was the best! So sweet, kind and amazing voice. Just beautiful. Heaven has another Angel, I hope they are all singing together. Wouldn't it be great if we will get to meet him and them all. God bless, RIP sweet Jay that made so many people happy! Bless his family
Good afternoon my friend Jay and american was great music 🎵🎶 in this era to Today's music 🎶 is like garbage to Am still listening to this music in august of 2024 to
That was the age of when our morals were uncorrupted and you could buy a house for less then 50 grand, a brand new car for less then 5 grand, a Cadillac for 7 grand, gasoline for .35 cents a gallon. Wow! And no fucking Coronavirus or AIDS/HIV for that matter!
@@joefont7788 The nuclear arms race, Vietnam, Smoking promoted as healthy, the mass use of pesticides, the assassination of JFK the playboy president, the LSD generation.... very uncorrupted indeed 😃
you go listen to Javier Solis or Jorge Negrete then you come back here and we talk......But I don't Deny that he had the best voice for American singer at the time....Timeless even....better than ol blue eyes by far......
Remembering Howie Kane born on June 6, 1941. He was an American pop singer who was a member of Jay and the Americans. He sang vocals for the band between 1960 and 1973, and again from 2006 until his death in March 2023. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howie_Kane
Awesome song. For the only man I ever loved. I miss you darling. This is your song. I hope you remember me and the two of us dancing together way past midnight. I will always love you ❣️
I'm with you Cheryl. The "love of my life "passed away 3 years ago this coming July 26. This definitely wasn't "her music", (she grew up in the 80s), and honestly even though I grew up in the 60s, I was more Hendrix, Cream, Beatles, BUT this song was on my "radar", because we ALL still listened to Top 40 back then. It's the lyrics. Until I kissed her, I mean REALLY kissed her ( her name was Lisa), I never realized how much I could love someone. I listen to this, I think of her, and I cry.............. but it's all good, because I think of how much I loved, (and still) love her and I appreciate, how much of my emotions were dedicated, and wrapped up in my love for her!!!!!!
Carter Rubin is the grandson of the electric guitar player on the right. Carter was a contestant on The Voice S19 E3 in year 2020 Fall. That led me here. Glad I came. I'm 75 years old now - love the old songs - from the doo -wop style. Some of my High School buddies and I used to sing some of these songs at parties or school performances. Good times.
Andreas C. This “Jay” (Jay (David Blatt) Black) is who made The Americans a hit. The previous (and original) “Jay” (John “Jay” Traynor) didn’t have nearly the quality of voice as Jay Black. The last time I heard Jay Black sing (several years ago), he still had that fabulous and very distinctive voice. I don’t think there has ever been anyone that could imitate it.

Jay "kills" this Drifters recording. Is it just me or does anyone else dig how square Howie, Marty and Kenny look? They blended very well, great chemistry onstage., very cool.
I heard this song the other day when I was getting my first dose of COVID vaccine. It was a festive atmosphere as boomers were so happy to start the process to a New normal !
Different generation here. Born on the tail end of this. How is it the entire edifice of this kind of popular music was toppled so completely forever, by the likes of The Who, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan etc?
The Stones, Who & Dylan all started out about the same time as Jay & the Americans, maybe even earlier. Early 60's. Jay and the Americans first hit was She Cried, and it was not even sung by "Jay Black", who's real name is David Blatt, a nice Jewish boy, from Astoria.
No se hablar inglés, espero me entiendan y estén de acuerdo conmigo., que voz tan bella, totalmente diferente, sin tener que recurrir a súper agudos ni falsetes larguísimos, simplemente un timbre de voz especial.
What a voice! Remembering a tremendous singer. RIP,, Jay Black!
One of my favorite songs growing up! Love Jay and the Americans! RIP Jay..you will never be forgotten! Thank you for the beautiful music and memories!
A great voice worth listening to. He will always own this song !😍😍

Thank you for sharing‼️‼️
Where has this type of music gone too.
Lord Jesus, bring back the 50's & 60's
@markpridgen809 in the 50's and 60's music used to be romantic. And then it. became profane and vulgar.
The Lord can restore things. But I believe we are under judgment by God now and it is his plan to wrap the show up pretty soon
Remember when singers had talent? Today, not so much. RIP, Jay.
RIP Jay Black, thanks all the great music.
He was the best! So sweet, kind and amazing voice. Just beautiful. Heaven has another Angel, I hope they are all singing together. Wouldn't it be great if we will get to meet him and them all. God bless, RIP sweet Jay that made so many people happy! Bless his family
I’m 73 and nothing beats this music!
I AM 65 AND I AGREE!!
You are totally right
This music was made when America was in its heyday of greatness. Before it became depraved, it was romantically beautiful music
@@DanaHotz I AGREE!!
One of the best groups of all time and Jay Blacks voice was awesome.
Absolutely one of the best voices of all time
RIP! Great singer and great songs. We will miss u! U will be remembered in our hearts. Thanks agsin!🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌻🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌻🌻🌺🌺🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌼🌻🌻🌼🌼
Wow,, 2 songs just popped into my head and only by simple lyrics I got Jay and the American.💋💋💋
As great as he was ,he was underrated
This was mine and my high school boyfriend’s song. Every time I hear it I think of him.
One of the great American singer. Why are we not hearing new singers like this?
Because today most music sucks. Among other things.
@@100aceswid because Borough Park isn't what it used to be.
MTV ruined music business.
I fell in love with this 1 at 12 years old, still am
RIP dear Sir Jay......love this song
Jay has a great voice then and even now!
This is the music of my youth ❤. Takes me back to Jr. High everytime I hear it.
Jay's voice is as smooth as silk.
Good afternoon my friend
Jay and american was great music 🎵🎶 in this era to
Today's music 🎶 is like garbage to
Am still listening to this music in august of 2024 to
THAT is REAL music. The good old days. If we only knew then what we know now... GREAT.
My favorite shower song of all time.The guitars.strings and horns ar mixed so well...it's a great arrangement.

Smart asses I am with her...
@@davidbragg7212 Thanks David!!
Psst...
They still make and sell vinyl records. As for 8-tracks and cassettes...
Whenever I hear this,it reminds me of being at a teen cantine in Decatur Ga. dancing with a girl named Penny.I wonder where she is now.That was 1969.
""THE VOICE"" no one can touch him, couldn't back then n last I heard him in 2017 still had ""THE VOICE"", Thanks Jay n best of Health to ya..
Is this Jay Black?
Fantastic voice, unreal!
just 2 words... Bobby Hatfield

What about the new "Jay" 3 that is currently touring with the Americans?

Love these great songs xx
Best era of music we ever experienced.
Genial para los que apreciamos la exelente canción de aquellos años maravillosos.
At times I find myself thinking that I'll soon awake from this bad dream only to realize to my great relief, that we're still in the 70's after all.
If only!
Beautiful iconic song.
Absolutely beautiful lyrics!! ♥️♥️
RIP. singer Jay Black 10/23/2021.

Amazing singer!!! RIP!

A forever love song.
One of the better remakes.
Better than the original.
they produced some great songs
God bless him
Thanks for the memories
Jay outsings the Drifters on this rendition, hands down.
"The Voice", part of music and Rock & Roll history.

@@mungous1000 yeah, and aforementioned changed music forever. Jay played elevator music.
No se hablar inglés, espero me entiendan y estén de acuerdo conmigo., que voz tan bella, totalmente diferente, sin tener que recurrir a súper agudos ni falsetes larguísimos, simplemente un timbre de voz especial.
No hace falta hablar el idioma los sentimientos son universales y aquí lo demuestra esta voz melancólica y única que toca el corazón 💓 .
estoy de acuerdo contigo en todo lo que dices.......
Love that intro
Great song.
Jay was sure handsome. Wow. 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
RIP legend jay black. 😔
What a voice class
voices....just wow
Great voice see you in the resrrection
The best!
Sweet
I didn't think they had wireless electric guitars back then!
Hmmm! You are a dunce !
Sandy Yaguda on the far left and Jay Black are the only original Americans in this video。
