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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
