John Traynor was the original lead singer for their breakthrough hit,
the classic ballad "She Cried" (1962) and the not-as-successful
follow-up, "My Turn To Cry" (1962). By 1963
Jay Black
became the lead singer, and these charted hits followed: "Only In
America" (1963), "Come A Little Bit Closer" (1964), "Let's Lock The
Door" i1965), "Cara Mia" (1965), "Some Enchanted Evening" (1966),
"Crying" (1968)--a 1961 hit for
Roy Orbison and revived again in
1980 by
Don McLean--"Sunday and Me", "Walking In The Rain"
(1969) (a remake of the 1964 song by
The Ronettes) and "This
Magic Moment' (1969), a 1960 hit for
The Drifters. These songs are
still in request today, wherever the group perform.
