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 ,,,
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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
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. ❤
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. UA-cam old videos to remember what a sexy gorgeous guy he was!
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.
Jay Black was one of my favorite singer as he could hit the high notes ...Like BOBBY HATFIELD OF Rightgous Brothers ...Roy Orbitson and a few others....Guess people my age got to experience some of the best singers ... ..during fifties and sixties. There were a few later ...like Freddie Mercury.
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.
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❤
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
Me too. Incredible.
His Voice So Amazing, still !!
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.
Jay Black the BEST of the BEST. RIP
❤
What a voice and what a performance!! Love ❤️ you Jay!! Bring back the 60’s with good songs, voices and lyrics we can enjoy!! Good old days.
Feb 22 2024 still listen to him, Jay 😊
Goosebumps!! and Tears!!
What a Voice!!!
And that audience was Great.
Gave him exactly what he deserved.
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 !!!!
How right you are Jay ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful song, sung by a great great entertainer, love his music!
Sounds better now, voice is much richer. May he sing now in the heavenly choir❣️
I love to hear them after all these years..... THANK YOU!!!
Who else is listening to this in 2024?
Me! 😊
Me
For third time! This guy was amazing!
Me too
I certainly am!!!
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
❤ Jay Black and the Americans and I’m still loving them in 2024 at 66 years old!

Cara Mia The First Notes Were Just Not Surpassed. Amen, RIP Jay ! 🙏

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.
Great song, I only like his version. He looked great for 62, still so handsome. May he RIP. ❤️
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.
Standing ovation says it all!
LOVE, LOVE JAY BLACK
SO SAD I NEVER GOT TO SEE HIM IN PERSON
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.
rest in piece you had a great run and nobody could hit that note
I never knew at the time I was recording this video that it would be the go to video for Jay Black. The Voice just sums it all up !!!

This music will live on forever, at the age of 77 I grew up with this Dave from RI
His voice is like a symphony!!! Such power and depth!!!❤❤❤
Fantastic.
Well Jay, we can nolonger dance the dance with this song in our 70's, but we love to hear you sing what yo remember from our youth! 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!
I miss Jay.
