Jay Black, the former lead singer of Jay & the Americans, is very upset that the original members of the band bought the rights to the name of the band for their own use. Then, they hired a new Jay to sing lead for them.
Sounds like a soap opera here. Last year, Jay Black (the Old Jay) lost the rights to the name "Jay & the Americans" when he went into bankruptcy last year, thanks to his gambling addiction. Jay wasn't the original Jay when the band started, but he sang on nine of their top hit songs.
The new Jay is Jay Reincke who was singing in his own "Jay & the Americans" tribute band before the original Americans hired him.
