Please take the time to read this post and listen to the videos.In 1964 Jay and the Americans opened for the Beatles in Washington D. C..It was the Beatles who were in awe of Jays band, (Paul thought Jay had the most remarkable voice he had ever heard) not the other way around.Later that night after the show it was evident the music taste of the younger Americans changed.The Doo Wop sound was fading and the Beatles were about to usher in a new sound. Jay stated he had never heard a crowd cheer so loudly before EVER and he knew it wasnt for them.
Fast forward to now Jay Black is 72 years old and looks tired however the man can still sing the notes up and down like no other.Roy Orbison, Elvis Pressley, each stated they did not want to be on the same stage as Jay as he could sing them right off the stage.Here are two videos one when Jay was a young man in 1965 and now 2011 singing the number 4 song 11 weeks on the charts there hit Cara Mia. This one is from 1965 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jm4p_HCwKA&feature=related
And now fast forward to 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV6d154LpXA&feature=related Jay holds that note for 18 seconds try that at home you singers here at the forum.[8D][8D]Please let me know your thoughts after hearing them.( Glassman) I at least expext to hear from you on this one !!.Enjoy
