For those who aren't previously familiar with Jay and the Americans, as well as those who are, this is an excellent CD. The CD is of the early to mid sixties Rock/Pop genre and includes their hits "Only in America", "Come a Little Bit Closer" (The original version and the Spanish version of it as well), "Let's Lock the Door", "Cara Mia", and "This Magic Moment". There are a total of 28 songs, some featuring the voice of Jay Traynor, but a majority of them feature the voice of Jay Black. Overall, both voices contribute to a very nice listening experience. The sound quality is great and I obtained this CD at a really low price.
I fell in love with the group the first time I found out who they were, when listening to an album one of my fellow GI's had been sent from home, while serving in the Army 63-69...It was beautiful, comforting and the voice of the lead singer mesmerised everyone else listening to Cara Mia, Some Enchanted Evening, Sunday and Me, and all the others on this album...It was a slice of peace, in the middle of a terrible, wrongful war...It brings back memories of my buddies, my friends, my hero's, the guys I will never see again...The music sounds as good today as it did back then...Good quality, good service, well worth the money and the tears.

This is a wonderful collection. It traces the history of the group from “Only in America” to “This Magic Moment”. In my opinion their finest work was “Come a Little But Closer”
