The food is a little on the pricy side but the tix were cheap enough
Rosemarie on Where to Park
Take the train it's not a bad walk to BB Kings (short blocks) and you probably need the exercise!

My friends and I really enjoyed the show. The "new" Jay's voice is awesome...he actually hit the notes on Cara Mia. BB Kings was a great place to see them...very intimate. If your not into "info sharing" by the band stay home cause there was lots of it...But overall it was a good show.

PS: My sister wanted me to add that the pervious "Jay" refused to sing She Cried, a song that she really likes, because it wasn't one of his. To her surprise this "Jay" did sing it.

Description

In one of the greatest turnabouts in Rock and Roll history, the group Jay and the Americans, started by four teenage boys in Sandy Yaguda’s Brooklyn basement 40 years ago, have bought back their rightful name in federal court, restoring the name to its rightful owners. Very few bands have ever reached the musical heights of Jay and the Americans. From 1962—1971, this group charted an unprecedented “12” top 10 records. With three original band members, Sandy Yaguda (aka Deane) founding member, Howie Kirschenbaum (aka Kane) original member, and Marty Kupersmith (aka Sanders), original member, plus the addition of “Jay” Reincke, the third Jay and probably the best yet, they have recreated the authentic sound of all of: their great hits that everyone remembers.

Jay and the Americans first record was “Tonight” (from the Broadway Musical West Side Story), and their breakout hit song was “She Cried”. Jay and the Americans next chart hit was “Only in America”, followed by top ten hits “Come A Little Bit Closer” and .later “This Magic Moment.”
