Such a beautiful song. Few "pop" tunes have reached this level of artistry.

Felix Cavalier was the stand-out, but I'd like to add Jay Black (Jay and the Americans) because "Cara Mia" ranks right up there in artistry too, IMHO. The vocal range of that guy, gee. Ricky Nelson was Elvis before there was an Elvis. Marty Robbins' El Paso. Ya, one would have to write a catalogue to be comprehensive of all that pure delight out there.

Here's Jay as an elder, explaining stuff before he launches into Cara Mia:

Paul Chambers🚧 reshared this.

What happened to him was sad. The IRS sought to force him to sell the rights to perform as "Jay Black" as well as the trademark for "Jay and the Americans" in order to satisfy his debt to the IRS. He was able to perform as Jay Black but he lost the right to perform as "Jay Black and the Americans"

His last known public performance 2017:
