Traynor was the voice behind the group's first big hit, 1962's \"She Cried,\" as well as singles like \"Dawning,\" the melody of which cleverly mimics Edvard Grieg's \"Morning Mood\" and a laid-back version of \"Tonight\" from West Side Story. It's too bad that the Americans didn't wait to record that last song until Black had entered their fold. His impressive range and theatrical delivery made songs like \"Only in America\" sound like they were from some forgotten musical and made the band's version of \"Crying\" closely rival Roy Orbison's original. Along with the title track, \"Come a Little Bit Closer\" also features the hits \"Cara Mia\" -- one of the best showcases for Black's vocal prowess -- and \"This Magic Moment,\" as well as sound-alike follow-ups like \"Let's Lock the Door (And Throw Away the Key),\" \"Some Enchanted Evening,\" and \"Sunday and Me.\" The group's attempts to graft folk-rock and psychedelic pop to their own sound on \"(He's) Raining in My Sunshine\" and \"(We'll Meet in the) Yellow Forest\" aren't entirely successful, but they are interesting -- perhaps more interesting than the band's better-known songs. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot all of the collection's 28 tracks are strictly necessary, but that's what makes it so comprehensive. Casual fans of Jay \u0026amp; the Americans might only need a dozen-track collection to satisfy their needs, but for the fans who need all the hits, some choice album tracks, and Italian and Spanish versions of \"She Cried\" and \"Come a Little Bit Closer,\" this is the collection for them.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST     \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1   Tonight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2   She Cried\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3   Dawning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4   This Is It For Me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5   Tomorrow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6   Yes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7   Only In America\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8   Come Dance With Me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9   Come A Little Bit Closer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10 Let's Lock The Door (And Throw Away The Key)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11 Think Of The Good Times\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12 Cara, Mia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e13 Some Enchanted Evening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14 Sunday And Me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15 Why Can't You Bring Me Home\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16 Crying\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17 Livin' Above Your Head\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18 (He's) Raining In My Sunshine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19 What Will My Mary Say\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20 (We'll Meet In The) Yellow Forest\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e21 This Magic Moment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e22 Hushabye\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e23 Wlkin’ In The Rain     \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 Do I Love You?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e25 She Cried (Italian Version)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e26 Come A Little Bit Closer (Spanish Version)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e27 Things Are Changing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e28 H.I.S.
