 I could hear cara mia 1000 times and still press rewind! October 12, 1999

Jay Black's voice is something else. There's nothing like Cara Mia, California roads, my lady and my beat-up MG midget on a Saturday morning. Buy the cd!
I could listen to it forever December 21, 1999

CARA MIA is the ultimate sing-in-the-shower song. When ever I sing it or along with it, it chases the blues away. Even though I did not grow up w/ Jay and the Americans, I love this band. Long live Jay and the Americans!
 A few really good pop songs, but lousy mastering December 24, 2002

This CD has 3-4 really good songs including "Come A Little Bit Closer", a thoroughly engaging pop song. Unfortunately, the sound quality is terrible, thin and shrill. Wait for a re-master someday.....

My longtime "oldies" DJ friend has a "guidebook" for making chit-chat about the oldies stars and HIS book says Jay is aka ROBERT Black. Whatever the case, I guess we'll never hear HIM sing "She Cried". The presentation of the group's hits on this piece of work could be better. The hits themselves speak for themselves but a much better album is "Come a Little Bit Closer -The Best of Jay and the Americans", a more complete album for about the same price. Check it out.
Jay Black could "almost" sing in the Roy Orbison range. December 5, 1998

Did you see Jay in the movie "My Giant"? I was a fan in the 60's and could not belive I knew it was him the minute he came on screen. Jay and the Americans hits are very good using Jay's great vocal range to the max. It's to bad Jay only had a few really good songs to work with. How could you have a hit like "Come a little Bit closer" or "This Magic Moment" and then record all the junk songs around them? It is great to hear thier hits but it's really sad there were so few of them. Jay, what a vocal range, to bad it was used on so many bad songs.
