My American Idol................

Watching the American Idol finale with one eye and checking YouTube with the other for my "American Idol" a singer whose career I've followed since I was a young girl -- Jay Black of Jay and the Americans.  At 72, he is still a crowd pleaser!  Here he sings the classic "A Certain Smile", enjoy!

JAY & The Americans on SHINDIG

Growing up in the '60's was a fun time!  We didn't have MTV but we did have "Shindig".  Here's a great clip of my all time favorite Jay Black on Shindig -- note, the clip is in black & white!!

LET'S LOCK THE DOOR by Jay and the Americans

The '60's and '70's are having a comeback in fashion and home decor .  Here's a classic '60's hit from Jay and the Americans featuring Jay Black, "Let's Lock The Door".  Not only is the song fun, check out the guys' clothing!  Skinny leg pants and stripes -- right in fashion now and so Mad Men!

THERE GOES MY BABY by Jay and the Americans

Time for some Jay Black and the Americans to start my day.  This song, "There Goes My Baby" is a true example of the range of Jay's amazing voice.  Thanks to dunepaul9999 for the posting with a great video highlighting Jay Black's career with his group The Americans.  Enjoy!

GYPSY WOMAN by JAY And The Americans

Searching for songs on YouTube by one of my all time favorites Jay Black, I came across this post from dunepaul9999.  I love it.  The song is a great example of the incredible range of Jay's voice.  Not only is it a fabulous song, the video is a fun blast from the past.  This is Gypsy Woman.

Caramia's Collection Salutes Cara Mia

The story of my eBay store name began with this song.  It is as special to me today as it was when I first heard it in the early '60's.  The song was and still is performed to perfection by Jay Black formerly of Jay and the Americans.  Jay Black's voice at 72 is as powerful today as it was when he first recorded this song -- no one can sing Cara Mia the way Jay Black does!

Cara Mia Revisited

To any of my new followers, I'd like to introduce you to the story of my eBay store's name Caramia's Collection.  My store was named after my all time favorite "oldies" song by the One & Only Jay Black formerly of Jay & The Americans.  In a time when everything was rock and roll (which I also loved and love), Cara Mia warmed my heart -- it was so unique in its era and Jay's voice is incomparable to this day!  At 72 years old Jay still performs as Jay Black and his voice and talent is a strong today as in the '60's.  Treat yourself to a ticket when he comes to your town, you won't be disappointed!

Sunday And Me by Jay Black

A fabulous song in celebration of the upcoming weekend.  Hope you enjoy it and it becomes one of your favs.
