In a world that is constantly changing
How can I be sure
Where I stand with you

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:

Jay Black & The Americans 2001
Paul Chambers🚧@claralistensprechen5th 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:

Chuck Miller@paul @claralistensprechen5th Also, Jay Black was not the original Jay of Jay and the Americans, he was actually the second Jay. The original was Jay Traynor, who had a hot with Jay and the Americans with the song "She Cried." He would also be a member of the MYstice ("Hushabye").

Yes, I'm aware. It's also the case that Black was lead vocal despite not being the band's namesake. Even when Black was on his own, he clearly had license to continuing to perform the band's music catalog.
