Teaming up to sing their chart topping hits, Jay Black, former lead singer of Jay and The Americans, and Gary Puckett, former lead singer of the 60's rock group, The Union Gap, come to The Keswick Theatre on January 22nd.

With Jay Black as lead singer, Jay and The Americans charted a string of hits including This Magic Moment, Walkin' In The Rain, Cara Mia, Only in America, Come a Little Bit Closer and Sunday and Me, the first hit written by Neil Diamond. It was singer-songwriter Black's magnificent voice that gave the group the distinctive sound that allowed it to turn out 21 chart singles.
At the peak of their success, Jay and the Americans made numerous appearances on the hottest television programs of the day, from Johnny Carson to Mike Douglas to Merv Griffin and more. The band was even featured in the movie Wild, Wild Winter in which they sang Two of a Kind. When The Beatles made their first appearance in the United States, it was Jay and the Americans who opened for them. Black and his band also opened for the Rolling Stones, among other superstars.

During the late '60s, a period forever distinguished as rock's most radical, innovative, and far-reaching, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap forged a series of massive chart ballads. Their best known songs included "Woman, Woman", "Young Girl", "Lady Willpower", and "Over You". Puckett went solo in 1970 and charted with "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" and "Keep The Customer Satisfied".
