"Why Can't You Bring Me Home" by Jay & The Americans

Jay & The Americans took the charts by storm in the 60s, earning themselves rank of #340 in the most successful charting artists of all-time. This New York-based group first scored in 1962 when "She Cried" hit #5. But their biggest hit was to follow: 1964's "Come A Little Bit Closer" reached #3. Other big ones included "Cara, Mia" (#4) and "Let's Lock The Door (And Throw Away The Key)" (#11).

The group sustained hits until 1968, scoring another classic with "This Magic Moment" (#6). But the wind had gone out of the sails by 1970, when their last charting single, "Capture The Moment," peaked only at #57.

"Why Can't You Bring Me Home" is a peppy number that got lost in the mix of their heyday hits, reaching just #63 in 1966. In my mind, it deserves to remembered as another classic in the band's catalogue.
