Some Enchanted by I don't remember

For the kind of music you like, you should listen to Jay and the Americans version of Some Enchanted Evening and a song called Cara Mia. Jay Black (real name David Blatt) was one of the best pop singers of his generation. The guy had a simply awesome voice. I saw the group live and he was simply incredible when he sang Cara Mia. It's a classic. You'd like both songs.

Glen Ellyn, IL?....................1st "big time" job was racing Go-Karts for GEMM Products in Glen Ellyn............went all over the country racing including the National at Pueblo, CO.  Used to race Fox Carts with McCulloch stock and modified singles, but my favorite was the DART Cart running twin bored/stroked West Bends burning fuel (Methanol, Nitro-Methane and 2-cycle).  Greatest thrill was racing on the airstipe at M-D in Witchita........long straight-aways and wide turn, so we geared for top end.....clocked out at 112.8.................2 inches off the ground!  18 years old and stupid/immortal!!!!mistake.gif

Everyone's getting off track here.  I'll take any kind of music (well, not twist and square) just as long as it's dance-able.  It's the swaying, close together, to the rhythm of the music that I care about.

The only exceptions being the tango and cha cha.

However, I'll give you and James' recommendations a listen..........but IT IS THE DANCING......ahhhh, the dancing.  smile25.gif

Well, I'm sticking with my recommendation. :D You wanna dance? Described below are the two songs by Jay and the Americans I mentioned. This was lifted from a discography of the groups 38 hits. :D These aren't twist songs. :D

12. Cara Mia (2:32) - For the first half-minute, the tempo is slow. After that, the drums enter and the tempo becomes slightly faster than moderate. Instruments include bells, audible especially during the first half-minute, and orchestral strings. Jay sounds almost like an opera singer as his character wonders why he and Cara must say goodbye every time they cease physical togetherness. He promises that he'll love her for eternity.
13. Some Enchanted Evening (2:16) - The tempo is moderate. Like the previous song, this one starts slow and features orchestral string instruments and bells. One of these evenings, when the narrator's pal is at a dance hall, he'll spot a girl and fall in love with her. The narrator advises his pal never to let that girl go once he's found her.

Mike, these are the exact two Jay and The Americans songs on my custom "Best" compilation CD! 



 

The Rossano Brazzi version of the latter from the 1958 "South Pacific" is incredible, too.

You're right about Jay Black...his incredible voice is in a league with Roy Orbison - -

absolutely S-W-E-E-T!  (and still is today)

Yes, Roy was in a league of his own. I saw him live in Detroit years ago. He just stood there, dark glasses on, and sang. He had an amazing range.

Jay Black had a slightly sweeter sound (to me). I had forgotten how many hits the group made. 38 singles is a ton for a group back then. I didn't know he wasn't the original lead singer until I started to look this stuff up.

TNY doesn't know what she's missing! :D Their version of the Some Enchanted Evening is awesome.
