5 out of 5 stars All American.......2007-06-01

Jay Black & the Americans are a true embodiment of the American Dream. My wife and I enjoy doo wop and oldies, in this CD you will hear some of the best of both worlds from one group.

4 out of 5 stars A Great Sampler.......2007-02-27

I went online looking for Jay and the Americans after a lunatic lawyer representing Jay Black's creditors wanted to take his name as a marketable asset (his legal name - or at least I assume that it's still his legal name - is David Blatt). Jay Black has a fantastic, powerful voice, and you can appreciated how much of the group's appeal is his voice when you hear him in oldies shows. And the music stands up pretty well (even if my 10-year-old son doesn't like it).

The biggest problem is that there is so much more that should be on this album, especially their great rendition of "Some Enchanted Evening." But if you're going to start listening to Jay and the Americans, start here. It's a great sampler, even if it doesn't include everything that it should.

By the way, you'll notice that the lead on the first track ("She Cried") is a bit different. That's the group's original lead singer Jay Traynor (nice voice, but he ain't Jay Black).

4 out of 5 stars Could have been 5 stars, but missed 2 big hits........2007-02-21

Let's face it, the lead singer has got one of the best voices ever. I mean if I could sing like anyone it would be him. Songs are fantastic for the most part, although their version of Hushabye kind of ... well, I did not care for that. Only one real complaint. This was supposed to be greatest hits. How could you do Jay and the Americans' greatest hits without 'Let's lock the door' and without 'Only in America'? Pop music doesn't get much better than 'Cara Mia' though and 'Come a Little Bit Closer' and I love their version of 'Some Enchanted Evening.' You cannot be unhappy listening to this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Such a good album!.......2007-02-07

This album has all of Jay and the American's best hits - and the price is so low! The sound is great! This is the best of the sixties!

4 out of 5 stars love songs.......2007-01-10

This cd brought me back in time. Songs I grew up with and just a click away..

    5 out of 5 stars A real good selection.......2006-04-27

    Even if I don't own this CD (stuff I have on 33 rpm), I had to approve the other critics here. To know Barbara Cook is to participate to the Great Broadway Era with one of its essential star performer.
    Cook was made for the stage and, following next, her live shows are quite impressive. Her voice can be tiny at times, but who doesn't get older?
    Just listen to Glitter and be Gay: a Bernstein masterpiece, but a Cook personal creation. (Only Sumi Jo made it as good on her Carnegie Hall show).
    All B'way fan should know Barbara Cook...

    4 out of 5 stars good overview of her broadway career.......2005-02-06

    Before Barbara Cook became a cabaret performer, she was a fantastic Broadway star. This out of print cd focuses on the songs from her revivals and original productions with the omission of The Glass Harp. It goes chronologically from the beginning of her career with the shows Candide, Plain and Fancy, and Flahooley. (Sadly they were flops.) Then it reaches The Music Man where she finally became a star. Her Till There was You is marvelous. The last three songs are from her 1975 At Carnegie Hall album. I wish that this was replaced with numbers from her shows. It doesn't quite fit in with the phase. I guess this cd wanted to be an outlook on her career in general. Barbara Cook had a clear warm soprano. If only her 1958 album Songs of Perfect Propriety could be released.

    5 out of 5 stars A Broadway legend appreciated.......1999-07-02

    Just to hear her voice intentionally break with emotion on "Dear Friend" will affect you deeply. This is a fine document of a great career and a stunning voice. You will treasure it.

          "Someday" is my favorite song on this CD, but most of them are good. Definitely worth the purchase. It's been a constant in my car CD player since I saw them in Denver earlier this month. Buy it!
