"Crying" (Jay and the Americans) #25 6/25/1966

Originally a huge record for Roy Orbison in 1961, this was also a Top 5 for Don McLean in 1981. Great songs always rise to the top. It would be the last Top 40 entry until 1969 for Jay and the Americans until their remake of the Drifters' "This Magic Moment." In the late 60's these guys used Walter Becker and Donald Fagen as session musicians before they achieved fame as Steely Dan. You gotta start someplace.
