Performing all their hits

She Cried • This Magic Moment

A Little Bit Closer • Cara Mia & many more

Few bands have ever reached the musical heights of Jay & the Americans.  From 1962 to 1971, this group charted an amazing twelve Top Ten records.  With three original band members, including Sandy Deanne, Howie Kane and Marty Sanders, plus vocalist Jay Reincke, their greatest hits never sounded better!

Jay & the Americans' first recording was Tonight  (from the musical West Side Story); but their breakout-hit song was She Cried.  The group's next chart hit was Only In America, followed by top-ten hits Come A Little Bit Closer, Cara Mia, and This Magic Moment. These songs and many others are featured in their performances, along with stories of the artists and writers who influenced this 1960s super-group.

Jay & the Americans' recording of Some Enchanted Evening holds the record for most copies sold of this legendary musical masterpiece. The group also holds the distinct honor of recording the great Neil Diamond's first hit song, Sunday and Me. Their recording of Crying pays tribute to the legendary Roy Orbison, with whom they toured, along with many other acts including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

In 2002, Jay & the Americans were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, placing them among the greatest vocal groups in Rock 'n Roll history.
