On September 4th, 1965 Jay & the Americans' "Some Enchanted Evening" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #13 and spent 10 weeks in the Top 100...
Perry Como had the most successful version of this song; on July 30th, 1949 it reached #1 and stayed at the top spot for 5 weeks.
Jane Olivor also charted; her version made it to #91 in 1977.
The song was originally a show tune from the 1949 Broadway musical "South Pacific" and was sung by Ezio Pinza.
That is NOT Jay Traynor! That is the one and only VOICE ..JAY BLACK..it's common knowledge that he made a hit of this song and that he had to fight to get it recorded..
I think Rodgers and hammerstein would be flattered that a Rock 'n Roll icon like Jay Black thought enough of their song to re-do in his own unique style and make it a hit yet again. After all isn't imitation the sincersit form of flattery and jay Black did not disrespect this great love song. He simply performed it in his own unique way. It is my favorite Jay Black recording and one of the greatest love songs of all time
What a great job in this video! Such a classic song and memory shaker!
