Eddie Black, The Five Sharks

@rakeuiff

i never said it was Jay and The American, I said it was the original lead singer of Jay and the Americans.

You are so wrong as I was at this concert and everything was live, that means the instruments, chorus and Jay singing, all live , trust me.

No one can touch Jay Black on " Cara Mia " !!

This guy still has tremendous voice control in every sense of the word. To have that much wind to carry those notes he must do a lot of running. No wavering very clear and and sharp.This is amazing . Mr.Traynor my respect, you are like wine you get better with age.

@bobbilse I listen with my heart and my ears and have heard nothing from the new "Jay" that remotely sounds like Jay Black and if he truly was that talented, he would be able to have a group and success based on HIS OWN NAME, not one bought at auction! I highly doubt if The Beatles name (for example) were sold at auction, the name would become more popular with imposters. Jay & The Americans is a memory that Jay Black keeps alive. I doubt you & I will ever agree, so I'm stopping with this.

@Caramia112 ... You have every right to feel that way, of course... When David Blatt lost the rights to the name, it's fortunate it was bought in auction by an original American who, in partnership with two other originals, has continued on. They are drawing crowds and experiencing a successful work schedule. These crowds listen with their ears, not their hearts. Groups NEVER stay together in their original form, but the name becomes bigger than the individuals, quite often.

@bobbilse I could care less about Jay Trainor as he is not the "imposter". What I think is pathetic is that there is a "new" version of Jay & the Americans that exists simply because Jay Black lost the right to a name he & only he made big. The ex Americans are opportunists. What were they doing before they seized this opportunity, lounge singers perhaps? At least Kenny Vance went on to create his own group with his name and he made it! The new fake "Jay" will never fill Jay Black's shoes.

@Caramia112 ... It doesn't matter to you, but you're hardly a quorum. David Blatt (the 2nd "Jay") was preceded and followed by two fine singers (who both happened to be named John, with their nicknames both being "Jay"). I'm a fan of "Jay Black", but there's no need to minimize the other two "Jays". That does nothing to honor Blatt at all. Just because they're not David Blatt doesn't mean they're not excellent popular vocalists. They are.

@ventues97 ... You should be sorry. You're wrong.
