First Big Hit

"She Cried" was the 1962 smash hit that started the long career of Jay and the Americans.  Reaching #5 on the Hot 100, the song was a preview of many songs the band would record with amazing vocal work.  The most interesting thing to me is that the song "She Cried" was sung by Jay Traynor who left the group shortly after and was replaced by Jay Black.  A great story.  Today "She Cried" is a forgotten oldie.
