Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
To those who say these songs are no good in 2011, the fact that people still listen in 2011 means the song stands the test of time. Will we still listen to some of the crap pumped out now in 2059?
@petersuperstar1 haha yeah our kids will be listen to Friday and feeling like freakin vintage hipsters. the rest of us will be in the bathroom trying not the throw up.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this song stinks get a better song people its 2011. The songs in this "generation" are not crap so listen to other oh my gosh you guys are like so wack. WOW
All I can do is quote afine scholar whose post on this song is in the # 1 position. "To the 21 bandidos who dislike this song, Vamos, Jose is on his way and he's gonna bust a cap in your ass!!! LMAO!! Grow up kid. One of these days you'll appreciate music from all generations. RIDE SALLY RIDE!
this song stinks get a better song people its 2011. The songs in this "generation" are not crap so listen to other oh my gosh you guys are like so wack. WOW
@Unicorn41840 wow i'm assuming you're a justine beiber fan girl and you liked friday. am i right? because that's what "our generation" is listening to. so if you don't like the song why are you on this page in the first place?
@xcellant Well those were the days when there were no mexicans and no amesty. illegals were deported. In 1954 there was operation wetback and many mexicans even some who were US citizens were kicked out of the US. That is why there are no mexicans here. Today they can use them because our stupid government gives them benefits instead of deporting them. If they are used in a video, that will give them one more reason to jump the border.
Back in those days, I don't think they even called them videos, not in the sence of what MTV or VH1 would refer to it. Just let's be thankful that a few ppl had the idea to tape these earlier artists for all of us to enjoy MANY years later!!!
It's just a fun song. It's fun. At the time, it was understood as just that. By everyone. There was very little of this imagined devide. But one doesn't seen that in the media messages today, so no one born afterwards has any idea that it was nearly an inside joke to a lot of people -- especially.
All most adults know now is that there has always been MTV.
@sleepingcatt thankfully parents always listened to this type of music and much more when i was growing up in the 80's it made me a huge fan of it all and i can visualize my own things with the music unlike todays crap
I wonder if anyone realizes that if they began a group/band like this, they could make a fortune. Across the generations they love this kind of music.
These were great times. Fun. Still a lot of innocence around. Music was fun fun fun. Not worried about much. Not fearing for our lives. Simple. I love that time. It's a shame we had to grow up and then have all h*ll break loose in the world. Too much hatred today. And it's not necessary. Peace to all. Love again.
I saw Jay Black the other night. Even has an old guy he can still hit high notes that only dogs and extraterrestrials can hear....Just as good or better than when he was young.
This is the first song my fiancee & I danced too. She was killed in Iraq in January & this is the first time I heard it since than. This song brings me to the good days. I love you Lisa.
They were great times. We had trouble in SE Asia then, riots in the U.S., and, if a politician stepped on the wrong toes, it seems there was someone getting shot over it. Outside of the SE Asia conflict, it was a countries growing pains. But gas prices were stable and affordable, food prices were stable and young folks could walk the street and not have to worry what color they were wearing in what "hood". Good times.
Jay and the Americans were a great band in the 60's. This looks like the tv show,"Where The Action Is". Jay Black still shows up on PBS oldies shows and sounds as good as he did back then. Thanks for the memories!
Yes it was a simpler time. One has to wonder whether we have truly progressed in certain ways with smart phones, IPods, IPads, notebooks. This was a time when we were contented to have a phonograph and listen to 45's. Jay and The Americans were an experience. We listened, we say along. We remembered every word--still do. We rushed home from school to listen to American Bandstand. Our dreams were sweet with hopes of love--love which Jay and the Americans expressly so meaningfully...
If they were born in the wrong generation, then so was I. No... it was a wonderful time to grow up and go with friends to the dances at the local hop by the lake. If you got your courage up, you'd ask a pretty stranger to dance and by golly, more often than not she'd flash a smile and into the middle of the dancing crowd you went hand in hand. And so much of that magic was due to Jay Black and all those great performers of his (our) time. What I'd give to be able to re-live it.
@dcederstrom I was young, but still so thankful I got to grow up with this music, especially from a cousin 6 years older. Always listened to Del Shannon, Leslie Gore, Crystals, Mary Wells, Gene Pitney.........and I will take this over anything today!!!!!!!!!!!
@dcederstrom Not at all. This generation has it fuckin' made. High-speed internet + Youtube = we don't have to listen to the shit on the radio.
I do wish we could have enormous V8s in our first cars though. The high school parking lot was a whole lot less annoying before the age of moo bombs and V-TEC.
@dcederstrom If you were born in that decade you would probably hate this music and think wouldn't have been great if I was born during classical music.
Remember there were people like you back then. And that is why I love the modern millennium, we already have all this amazing music and our disposal, if we want to here this we just go on youtube. Screw living through the vietnam protests it's bad enough about the socialists on wall street.
@dcederstrom question should be does anyone know if they were bron in the wrong generation at least i know i am i was bron with JB's and MC's and weezyszzzz

Jay And The Americans are coming back for 2 concerts in New Jersey. Nov 20 State Theatre New Brunswick NJ (with The Duprees, The Happenings & Martha Reeves And The Vandellas). Dec 17 Landis Theater Vineland NJ (Jay And The Americans Holiday Show).
Jay And The Americans are in concert in 2010; Sept 25 The Adler Theatre Davenport Iowa (with Johnny Tiliston & Shirley Alston Reeves); Oct.16 Morgantown Events Center at Waterfront Place Morgantown WV (with The Vogues).
I remember we were at a Mexican restaurant with my grandpa shortly before he died and he requested that the mariachi band play this song. It was stuck in my head for days afterwards.
There's only One "Jay and the Americans", and that's the one that features the legendary Jay Black . I can deal with substitute Americans but not with a substitute Jay. Jay Black is Jay And The Americans !
@blueridger28 - I feel sorry for people like you, who can only see the negative. The 60's were a difficult time to grow up - the Vietnam War, assassinations, the struggle for civil rights, just to name a few things. The past always seem better because it IS the past, and you tend to only remember the good things, and forget the bad.
@AJM303 UH... War in Middle east, Afghanistan, the world, Assasinations, Civil rights struggles the same shit, different toilet MAssive takeover of the world by corporations, Its the same. It just seemed like a better time than what i was raised in
I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950's and 60's. The music scene was the best part of that time. But the great tunes were a distraction from the truly horrible things that happened. Think of the Korean war, the Cuban missile crisis, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, the Vietnam war, the military draft.
Jay And The Americans, Little Anthony And The Imperials, Shirley Alston Reeves, Fred Paris And the Five Satins & The Bronx Wanderers are playing May 22 at TD Bank Arts Center Sewell NJ.
I'm going to see Jay and the Americans along with the Vogues live at the concert on Mother's Day weekend at the Events Center on Binghamton University Campus in Binghamton, NY next month. I am anticipating for the excitement soon.
Glad to see Jay And The Americans will be coming down to Florida next week.
Apr.8 Naples Philaharomic PAC Naples FL (with Little Anthony). Apr. 9 Mchaffey Theatre St Petersburg FL (w/ Coasters, Crystals). Apr. 10 Nova University Arena Davie FL (with Coasters, Crystals & Tymes). Clay Cole is MC for all three shows.
Because "Jose" is a badass name. If his name had been "Hector" nobody would have run away. Imagine.."then I heard the guitar player say...vamoose Hector's on his way".
From the look of this video I'm betting it's a take from "Where the action is"- a great old afternoon dance show featuring Paul Revere and the Raiders as the house band. Anyone know for sure?
Did anyone see how he took that flower from the guys hand in the beginning of the video? Then the mexican was looking at him like 'what the F*%# was that'?
@Twisted86 Not sure if this is the version you are talking about but in 1976 Johnny Duncan had a country hit with this song, and the "Come a little bit closer..." line was sung by a woman named Janie Frickie. It didn't chart pop but was a big hit on the country chart.
Where are my playlists? I've spent months creating them and now they play one note? What's going on?

I LOVE this song. I sing it all the time. I'd like to hear Michael Buble do this song with the same "Latin" flavor to it.

I remember we were at a Mexican restaurant with my grandpa shortly before he died and he requested that the mariachi band play this song. It was stuck in my head for days afterwards.

There's only One "Jay and the Americans", and that's the one that features the legendary Jay Black . I can deal with substitute Americans but not with a substitute Jay. Jay Black is Jay And The Americans !

I think that's Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders from "Where the Action is",
sort of a goofy show with a goofy (but talented) host, hence the Mexican spoofing.
Even with that BS, Jay's talent or professionalism never weened for a moment.
He was bigger than all of those clowns.

@blueridger28 - I feel sorry for people like you, who can only see the negative. The 60's were a difficult time to grow up - the Vietnam War, assassinations, the struggle for civil rights, just to name a few things. The past always seem better because it IS the past, and you tend to only remember the good things, and forget the bad.

I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950's and 60's. The music scene was the best part of that time. But the great tunes were a distraction from the truly horrible things that happened. Think of the Korean war, the Cuban missile crisis, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, the Vietnam war, the military draft.

Because "Jose" is a badass name. If his name had been "Hector" nobody would have run away. Imagine.."then I heard the guitar player say...vamoose Hector's on his way".

From the look of this video I'm betting it's a take from "Where the action is"- a great old afternoon dance show featuring Paul Revere and the Raiders as the house band. Anyone know for sure?

@Twisted86 Not sure if this is the version you are talking about but in 1976 Johnny Duncan had a country hit with this song, and the "Come a little bit closer..." line was sung by a woman named Janie Frickie. It didn't chart pop but was a big hit on the country chart.
