Jay & The Americans – definitely a guilty pleasure! Jay
Black (born David Blatt) was actually the group’s second “Jay”, although he
wound up singing lead on nearly all of their hits.
Fun fact – Walter Becker and Donald Fagen played in their touring
band for a while, before becoming better known as Steely
Dan.
Favorite songs:
Cara, Mia
Some Enchanted Evening
Sunday And Me
Livin’ Above Your Head
Why Can’t You Bring Me Home
When It’s All Over
Come A Little Bit Closer
This Magic Moment
Only In America
Agree completely, though I would probably rank This Magic Moment in the first five.
ReplyDeleteCan't really argue too much with that -- it's at least as good as the Drifters' original (and I love the Drifters).
