Come a little bit closer
Very good to hear these songs again. I was priveledged to see Jay Black at a recent concert. He performed "Cara Mia" hitting each and every note without modification. A wonderful man.
Good but no Wow
In my search for ole 60's music of worth to have in my collection I added this album for the song "She Cried". I was somewhat dissappointed with the album as a whole. After listening to many, many albums from this time period I find this band to only be somewhat above average. She Cried and Cara Mia are very good, Tomorrow and others are pretty good, but i was left with no Wow, this is great, and never feel a desire to get this album out and play it all the way thru. It won't be in my rotation very often. There were more talented bands out there to spend your money on. Gerry & the Pacemakers are similar but better than this. If your a big fan of Jay & the Americans from back in the day, then I'm sure you'll love this best of collection. If your just trying to round out your collection or try new things, then I think your better off putting this down to the middle or lower middle of you list to buy.
Jay & The Americans: COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER; THE BESTO OF JAY & THE AMERICANS
I have been in love with this wonderful band's mellow, yet moving sound since 1964, at least. Come A Little Bit Closer pulled me into their wonderous sound, but the song that digs deep into my soul is Cara Mia and of course, This Magic Moment, but my love doesn't stop there...Let's Lock The Door still moves me to dance and sing out. I could go on and on, but
I think that Jay and the Americans is one of the greatest bands, greatest sounds, that ever came out of my generations musical moments.
I'm not a groupy who can tell you their names, recognize their faces, but the distinctive voice of the singer who sings Cara Mia still rocks my world!
If you are a Jay & The Americans fan...this album brings together most of their finest songs, the best music to carry you back down memory lane, and help you remember how romantic and yet playful a male singing voice can be. The only thing I can think of that it is missing is the song, Look In My Eyes Maria...but it even has the old H.I.S. pants commercial on it! Quite a memorable album.
