When I first spoke to our guest about todays episode I fully intended to talk to her about the hundreds of interviews she had with some of the world best musicians and bands. But as it turned out her career was more like an episode of, This is your life. It is a story of determination from a person who wanted to succeed The lady I'm referring to is Sandy Kaye who is a freelance broadcaster, journalist, producer and podcaster who has spent more than 35 years on both sides of radio and television microphones. So our chat is about both her life and her love of music of the 60's 70's 80's   

Join host Sandy Kaye to discover the story of Jay and the AmericansLong before arena tours and pop stardom, Sandy Yaguda—later known by his stage name Sandy Deanne—was just a Brooklyn kid with a dream, harmonizing with friends on the street corner. As a founding member of Jay and the Americans, Sandy helped shape one of the most enduring vocal groups of the 60s, delivering classics like “This Magic Moment,” “Come a Little Bit Closer,” and the unforgettable “Cara Mia.” But Sandy's journey wasn't just about chart hits—it was about survival, reinvention, and ultimately reclaiming a name and legacy that defined an era.In this episdoe we explore Sandy's life in rich detail—from his early days growing up in the working-class neighborhoods of Brooklyn, through the meteoric rise of Jay and the Americans, and into the turbulent times that followed their initial success. Sandy was born in Brooklyn- a place where doo-wop was more than a sound—it was a way of life. He grew up on street-corner harmony and fell in love with the layered vocals and emotional intensity of rhythm and blues. While still in high school, he formed a vocal group with classmates. Their mutual love for music brought them together in basements, school hallways, and street corners, practicing complex harmonies and dreaming of stardom.Originally named The Harbor Lites, the group tried out different names and lead singers before settling into what would eventually become Jay and the Americans. But first, they needed a "Jay."They found their original “Jay” in Jay Traynor, a smooth-voiced singer who helped bring the group's early material to life. With Traynor on vocals, the group recorded their first hit, "She Cried," which soared to the Billboard Top 10 in 62. That success put them on the map, earning them opening gigs for heavyweights like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.Despite the breakthrough, Jay left the group soon after, disillusioned with the pressures of sudden fame. The band then discovered David Blatt, a charismatic young singer who would become the new “Jay”—and go on to be known as Jay Black. With Black's commanding vocals, Jay and the Americans evolved from a promising doo-wop act into pop legends.Jay and the Americans became regulars on TV everywhere.Their slick stage presence, powerful vocal blend, and boy-next-door charm made them one of the most beloved groups of the decade. By the early 70s, musical tastes had shifted. Psychedelic rock, protest anthems, and heavier guitar-driven sounds began to dominate the charts. Jay and the Americans, with their romantic, harmony-driven style, began to fade from the mainstream. The group disbanded in 73.Jay Black went on performing solo under the name “Jay and the Americans,” believing he had the legal right to use it. Sandy focused on behind-the-scenes work in the music industry, producing and managing other acts. Still, the legacy of Jay and the Americans never left him.In the early 2000s, Sandy Yaguda, along with Howie Kane and Marty Sanders, initiated a legal battle to reclaim the name “Jay and the Americans” and in a court ruling, the original members won the rights to the name. They recruited a new lead singer, Jay Reincke, and the reformed Jay and the Americans began touring again.Today, Sandy Yaguda continues to perform with Jay and the Americans to sold-out audiences across the U.S. proving that good music truly never fades.Sandy Yaguda is the custodian of a golden sound.This episode is a must-listen for fans of classic pop, 60s nostalgia, and anyone who's ever wondered what happens after the hits stop coming—but the music never dies.
