To be fair Jay Black is probably the most underrated singer of all time there is a reason this song is not copied at all very very little because it is almost impossible for people to hit these notes and sound that effortless and that Flawless this is truly One of a Kind singing and a master class and a tenor voice

@thomastimlin1724 5 ай бұрын

Jay was a trained opera singer.His mom had him take lessons. But he wanted to be a popular singer. So you have nice mix of both in his performances.

"Jay" sang this and his other songs until he was in his 70's, without missing a note. He pereformed until 2017 and passed in 2021 at 82.

If memory serves, Jay's father was a Kanter at Temple and he was trained for that position. Try Come A Little Bit Closer.

David Draiman of the group Disturbed, I believe started training to be a cantor, which may explain why his version of the Sounds of Silence is so special

Many people say that Jay is singing falsetto He is not singing Paul said oh, he is merely shifting from chest voice into head voice The highest note in this song is a C5 which is way up in the tenor range He can do the lighter configurations others just couldn't do this

There were quite a few really good singers in the '60's & early '70's. Another group (one of my favorites) from that era that I would like to see you do is Peter, Paul & Mary.

Good job Maggie. What I love about this video (beside everything) is at about 5:24 the backup sing on the far left is visibly blown away by the note that Jay hits. This is a good review especially considering it is from a trained professional. You can't listen to this and not get "the feels". This is a rare moment in all of top-40 music.

During this era, there was this 'competition' between Jay Black and Frankie Valli. Both had huge followings. They were totally different types of singers, but they both 'played up the rivalry' for sales. Jay was by far the smoother, more polished singer.

I love this!!! Here's another favorite that I don't think anyone has done: Joanne by former Monkee Michael Nesmith. A beautiful, plaintive song he wrote after the Monkees broke up. You''ll be moved. Thanks!!!

Maggie, there was a PBS music special back around 2010/2011 that showcased a lot of the old singers/groups from the 60's. Jay Black sang Cara Mia on that show and was absolutely amazing. You should watch it as a comparison to the original version. I think you will be impressed.

If you van ever see watch a pns muscial special 40 years after this performance......older and bibgger but his voice was the same! High notes and length of holding them was fantastic!! And i know of one other fantastic singer who was a trained ,Canter like his great grandfather! Lead singer for Disturbed....David!

@Ou81gi812 5 ай бұрын

🎉 Just a suggestion: If you like this era of music with a little falsetto, try on some Bobby Vinton, “Mr. Lonely” (1964) and “Blue Velvet” (1963).

Several people have mentioned you should see his performance at age 73. Just go to KZbin Jay Black caramel 2001 he done a performance and it was so good that PBS brought him back in 2011 and he recorded in their studio ever song he did. At 73 he holds a note for 40 seconds at the beginning of the song. He was known as simply"The Voice"Barbie music industry and his peers. I think he was the best lead male vocalist of the entire rock and roll ERA.

@jackknudson-rk1uv 5 ай бұрын

The best story about this is Mick Jagger on Ed Sullivan. They sang Let's spend the night together, he sang it live. They wanted him to say Let's spend some time together. When he sang it the camera was focused on his face and turned to it and sang it right. They immediately changed the picture and The Stones were pereonna non grata on tv for a long time.

Find the 2011 video of him doing this in his 70s -- his voice got even better, like a fine wine or a well-built guitar.

one of the founding members of Jay and the Americans is Kenny Vance at 80 he's still recording and performing . He has a group called Kenny Vance and the Planotones, their biggest hit is "Looking for an Echo"

Great video. Belive it or not there is a video of Jay singing this in 2011 at age 72 and it might be even better. I have been working on this song but have a hard time with the head notes, especially the hold out on " time'. That c5 can be tricky. Crying by Jay and the Americans and Come a little bit closer are some other great ones! Jay is definitely one of the greatest and most under-rated singers off all time. He wasn't " the voice" for nothing!

The "Nice Guy" look of the Americans with their slacks, v-neck sweaters and (probably) turtleneck "dickies" which just went on like a little saddle with your head in the middle!! Loved it... oh, and the reaction of course!!!
