Jay Black, frontman for the Sixties pop-rock hitmakers Jay and the Americans and singer of Sixties hits like 'Cara Mia' and 'Come a Little Bit Closer,' has died at the age of 82
Black’s family continued, “New and old fans continued to marvel at the strength and range of Black’s voice through his last concert in 2017. Appearing mostly in the tri-state area and Florida, Black’s concerts were heavily attended and mostly sold out. He had a special bond with his fans who flocked to his annual sold-out shows at The Westbury Music Fair. He thought of them as family, knew many of their names, and would dedicate songs to them from the stage and meet with them after the show.
While Jay and the Americans reformed in 2006, they did so with a third “Jay” singer. “Today, we mourn the passing of David Blatt a/k/a Jay Black and we acknowledge the great successes we had with him both as a partner and as a lead singer,” the current iteration of Jay and the Americans wrote on Facebook. “We shared both wonderful and very contentious times, and much like an ex-wife, we are so proud of the beautiful children we created. We’ll always remember The Voice.
