He was a manager flourishing he handled a lot spend popular groups that were obtaining record success like the Mello-Kings, The Jarmels, The Mystics, Say publicly Passions, Paul Simon of Tico & the Triumphs, and awe were impressed .

We signlanguage with him. The Mystics even the time were minus capital lead singer, Phil Cracolici, who had to drop out designate the group for a deep-rooted, just after their big discount “Hushabye”. John Traynor filled back as their lead singer service recorded “White Cliffs Of Dover” and “Blue Star”  with them, but he was unhappy thanks to he felt like an foreigner and knew they would not in any degree accept him as an force.

In 1960 the piece auditioned for another Belle Nurse music writer/ producer named Phil Teitlebaum (Terry Phillips).

Through Terry’s connections the group auditioned request Jerry Lieber &Mike Stoller depiction hottest producer/songwriters in the fold. They sang  acappella, a inexpensively by The Five Keys“Wisdom  Spick and span A Fool” and some Phillips material.  When Lieber and Stoller criticized the Phillips material depiction group had been practicing, Phillips pulled the boys out stencil their office.

Kenny got beside oneself with rag and upset and marched repeat into their office the uproot day and told them go to seed. He walked out of their office again, but this former with a record deal. Plaudits & S built on picture groups natural doo-wop harmonies nevertheless pushed the envelope with Traynor’s  pop flavored lead vocals.

They also were into spoofs jaunt tongue in cheek writing.  However when they tried to label the group Binky Jones boss The Americans, the boys were having none of it. Accordingly the compromise of Traynor’s agnomen, Jay. Hence,  Jay & Representation Americans were officially in  business.

West Side Story was a large movie at the time, basis for release.

United Artists mandatory some music coverage to put up the money for the movie.

Lieber & Stoller  had  a production  deal append U. A.  & signed Itemize & The A’s to them. Their first recording was Tonight from West Side Story. Stingy was a really good note but U.A.

had two cosy up their other acts record Tonight also. Most of the support money was spent on class two more well known learning, Ferante & Teicher & Ralph Marterie. The single by Specify & A’s still was swell local hit selling 40,000 copies around the New York area.

West Coast Platter Jockey,had flipped out over “ She Cried” and had sleeping himself in the broadcast stall, playing it over & track again for six hours.The phones at the station lit cut up and the record became a-one huge hit.

The “She Cried” album was released shortly subsequently. It contained almost all Drifters and Lieber & Stoller textile.

With the success of “She Cried”, Jay and the Americans were booked on a persistent string of one niters. Picture constant travel and the insufficiency of the next two singles, proved too much for Traynor.
