Anyone know for sure who sang lead on this track ? Thanks UK Demo about 50-60. Who'se the lead singer? Some white college kid Peter Noone look-a-like with hair over his collar. Quite a nice pop record though.
Sunnysoul Posted September 9, 2007 Author Posted September 9, 2007 I think it was Jay. (p.s. I bought a US issue for $26 last night) Nice one Pete, but my understanding was that they initially had Jay Traynor of Up and Over fame on lead .... and then he left to be replaced by David (Jay) Black. But on Hung Up the lead vocal doesn't sound like David Black ...

But on Hung Up the lead vocal doesn't sound like David Black ... Well the guy who sings Livin Above Your Head and Cara Mia is Jay Black I think. I don't think that he is the guy singing Got Hung Up. So do we think the singer on Got Hung Up sounds like the singer of Up And Over and the answer must be - YES

So do we think the singer on Got Hung Up sounds like the singer of Up And Over and the answer must be - YES Don't think so, known chronology on the group indicates Traynor was long gone by '68 when Hung Up was recorded, and IMO vocal on Hung Up is quite different from Traynor.

But I've got some footage of the original singer (on that doo-wop show, taped about 5 years ago, I posted a few clips up) and he is introduced as Jay Black, he does Cara Mia and sommat else and he is the definitely the guy singing on the original records.
