No it doesn't Steve. There is great music being made today just as there was in 1965. I happen to believe that Jay Black is the best rock male vocalist of all time, but I can appreciate Snow Patrol and Depeche Mode and the Black Keys and Foo Fighters and M83 and Matt & Kim, and I am old enough to remember when Cara Mia was on the top 40. Nothing wrong with keeping an open mind as one grows older. I think that's what being alive is all about.

If I could sing like that man, all my troubles would be over....

[runtgumbo]

One of my favorites from the mid sixties.

[RandyBful1]

Am I wrong; or is falsetto lost in the past?

[clint shannon]

that's because that is exactly what the rappers are!

[clint shannon]

YES! It does pdelliot.

There is little 'great music/ being done today. You cannot refer to rap as music. most of hip hop either.

Snow patrol? who?

Black keys? who?

M83? who?

matt & kim? who?

it is doubtfull that the folks you mentioned will be remembered 50 years from now. or even 20. even 5. Who?

Wow!!!...What an incredible voice!...But there's something about him that reminds me of ''Brundle-Fly''.

Some of the competing radio stations were 1280 KNAK, 1430 KLO that broadcast at night from a booth at a drive in at the intersection of Wall Avenue and Riverdale Road(40th street) in Ogden. Late at night you could get KOMA out of Oklahoma city. Yea, AM radios with a rear speaker and a fader switch to control it. 4 track then 8 track players, then FM. Oh my God where is this technology going. I was there with a 1957 Chevy convertible.

Type in shindig dancers in the search bar. There is a lot of the old Shindig shows on youtube.

@nwk38 You're almost correct, but his name is David Black. He changed it to Jay because Jay & the Americans were an established group and David & the Americans is like Coke without the fizz. Lol
