CD ReviewsGreat stuff Eric V. Moye | New York, by way of Dallas | 12/10/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Back in sixties, Jay Black & the Americans were all over New York Top-40 radio, as well they should have been. Their harmonies were wonderful, and the incredibly-voiced Jay Black out in front was the strongest voice in pop music this side of Jackie Wilson.This collection has all of their hits, and a number of songs that were not hits but otherwise were wonderful nonetheless. The incomparable "Cara Mia" and "Come a Little Bit Closer" certainly lead the way. Jay's voice is positively operetic (is this a real word?). His song "She Cried" is tragic, a la Roy Orbison, although here, the sadness is because Jay left his girlfriend (had Roy sung this, he would have twisted it around so that she cried because she was sad too - after breaking up with him!).Great voices. Great collection." Magical Eric V. Moye | 02/01/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I think Jay's songs and voice are out of this world. They're fantastic.Until today they really are appreciated by people who really understand music. Jay, I hope you read this and know what your music really means to me. You're the greatest.You are a wonderful person as well. M.....K....."
