JAY AND THE AMERICANS “THE VERY BEST OF” 1979 UK PRESSING

Kenny Vance of Jay & the Americans told us how they came to record this song: "I happened to go up to Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's office, because I used to hang out there as a kid - they produced us. I guess I was like a barometer for them, and they played me 'Only In America.' I said, 'Boy, that would be great if we could have that,' because we're Jay & the Americans. They took us over to Atlantic recording, who had a brand new-fangled machine, an 8-track machine. Up until those dark days we were recording all four-track. (This allowed Jay & the Americans to record their vocals on the original backing tracks produced by Leiber and Stoller for the Drifters.)
