I never really paid much attention to this song. I just now realized it was recorded at the same time as Cara Mia. Cara Mia is Jay's signature song, and my all time favorite. When you compare these 2 songs you can really hear the power and range of Jay's voice. He was really young then, maybe 26, and in the original recording of Cara Mia you can hear a fabulous " young " voice. In " When It's All Over ", done at the same time, you can really hear a mature, strong, powerful voice..just amazing!
@ontoppau2nite No, Cara Mia was originally the "B" side and when "When It's All Over" wasn't getting much airplay, the producer begged dj's from around the country to play Cara Mia and the rest is history. This is well documented when you read the history of Jay & Americans songs. Not my opinion, just fact.
This is a classic! When it came out I loved both this song & Cara Mia equally - it's in many ways reminiscent of Think of the Good Times. Many thanks for posting When It's All Over, have been waiting for ages to hear it again! You made my day...
jay and the americans did a series of concerts with the four seasons at madison square garden which was on tv I wonder if any one has a video of that.

@2:23, WOW!!! I wish I could learn to sing like that. I wasted all those years going to school instead :)

Nice rendition, but not in the calibre of 'Cara Mia'... They were right to flip the disc...

Jay Black shows power and range. This song should have been a hit also.
