Hey Howard - yes he does!! My step dad (Warren Schwartz) sang with Jay Siegel (leader of the Tokens) in high school, in their band(s) the "LincTones" and "Darrel and the Oxfords" - He sang with them in the Tokens too, but wasnt with the band shortly after the original radio recording (feel free to look any of this up). I'm 54, and have known Jay and wife Judy (and their kids), since I was about 5..... Saw them at Eisenhower park 2 years ago.... it was like a reunion... and yeah... I AM AMAZED at how great Jay still sounds, at .....77?
best connected tribal insider voice perhaps........... but there is a massive amount of talent out there that never gets a shot at the bigs.......and that's a damned shame.
Jay does have a good falsetto voice but not as good as brian wilson in his prime. Don't get me wrong i love the tokens but I'm a harmony lover. Thats why i love the beach boys.
Am a 97 ,hear the song 2017 but I'll watch all the video cause he one .mad my day fast one month Everyone could sing for night sleep ,but iam only one hear daily morning wakeup song XD
"Wimoweh" ... One of those timeless songs .. "so" different.. One can't help think about the king of the jungle, and how important it is to preserve these beautiful animals; which play their role in nature's balance. Lovely rendition. April, 2017.
The absolute best falsetto voice I've ever heard. Jay Segal, and he's held that voice for how many years. Also, I hear, "Way up High" but can't find it in any video
Jay Traynor (original Jay & The Americans) was still alive at this performance....saw The Tokens many times over the years and the shows that Jay Traynor sang "She Cried" were always the highlight of the show.
And this whole time I was thinking that song was specifically made for The Lion King ... Imagine being able to live the rest of your life rich off of making one song that forever resonates with every generation
Talk about multi-generational! This song goes back to the late 1940s-1950s when Pete Seeger & the Weavers brought it to life. Check out their versions on RUclips, too!
Quite the showman very good video,im impress with the young lady that went from the sax to the clarinet,i guess that's a two -for from a lovely lady with talent.I also see a wedding ring that some lucky guy put around her finger
Jay was just on the Tony Orlando radio show last night WABC Ny great Interview was telling how that song made them famous it was there warm up song and a record producer was walking by his house heard it in Brooklyn the rest is history
I've watched many of the PBS specials, and enjoyed most of them. It's amazing that many still sound the same, but because of the years they look different. I sometimes close my eyes and listen to them sing, then open my eyes and go 'huh? I that's them?' It's great that most can still sing like before.
No Auto Tuner needed for these guy's. Pure Talent and Class.
Omg that's my favorite song I was a young boy growing up in Massachusetts. And I would stop everything to listen to the song. Thanks for the memories
This is my 10 month old daughters favorite song! This song will live forever!!
Never gets old. I love it. There is GOD in this song. Nature. Primal energies.
Healing. Hope for Love in the World.
How can anyone not love this happy joyful song?
amazing, he's still sings it in the original key !

I thought Mitch Margo sang the high noes and his brother Phil was lead singer. They were my next door neighbors in 90210 on S. Palm Dr.
Amazing ,what was the name of their group?
Yyyyp
❤ a wonderful classic . Sung by that famous voice .many different versions ,but no one can beat this ....❤❤
Amazing falsetto in this age . . Goosebumps..tears everything !!:(
FANTASTIC !!!
*Jay is just plain amazing that he can still hit all those notes! It's such a GREAT SIGNATURE SONG! all the best and long life, Jay.* :)
The best falsetto voice in the music industry.
best connected tribal insider voice perhaps........... but there is a massive amount of talent out there that never gets a shot at the bigs.......and that's a damned shame.
Janette MacDonald sure! Someone cut his balls off!
Mohammed Khan really???!!!
You wrong,Frankie Valli es the best falsetto.
Ummmmm no.
Amazing...at least 50 years since I hear it the first time....still love it!!
Always gives me chills to hear them sing this. No one can compare....................
Great song, singers and musicians. I am so happy to see you still doing concerts.
Such a fun song.
Never gets old!
Love these guys! I was three years old when The Tokens released this song. My older sisters played it constantly, but it never got old.
Great happy song. My son and I used to sing it when he was little in the 80's. I still love it a lot.
Jay does have a good falsetto voice but not as good as brian wilson in his prime. Don't get me wrong i love the tokens but I'm a harmony lover. Thats why i love the beach boys.

Love them but miss the girl in the background with her incredible high note too.
carolyn montgomery yes I agree she was fab
Who sang the high notes in the original recording was the soprano Anita Darian...
Kelly DeFade sings the high part in other versions of the live videos.
Kelley De Fade indeed
me too
What a voice blew me away respect
love the story about the kids singing it back to him, must have been special
And this whole time I was thinking that song was specifically made for The Lion King ... Imagine being able to live the rest of your life rich off of making one song that forever resonates with every generation
The main hook, the chorus is a much older song they didn’t write that.
Great...such good pitch and notes still today.....respect Sir
Love it...Always did.
Aw come on folks! This is awesome! My grandsons even singing this...a definite multi generational fun song...
Talk about multi-generational! This song goes back to the late 1940s-1950s when Pete Seeger & the Weavers brought it to life. Check out their versions on RUclips, too!

This is a Zulu forklore song sang way back in 1930s. By a Zulu Man Solomon Linda .The Americans were quick take credit that was not theirs
Jay was just on the Tony Orlando radio show last night WABC Ny great Interview was telling how that song made them famous it was there warm up song and a record producer was walking by his house heard it in Brooklyn the rest is history
Me encanta, me transporta a mi niñez, pero no es lo mismo sin la corista, que es la que da el misterio y la vida a la melodía y a la canción
Love those guys, just love those guys
He still get this perfectly❤💜
Simply amazing
that man is the song. he enjoys it truly
Wonderful, Jay is amazing.
Dam, Jay still got it.
Best Song ever
Love this song
DOO OPPS IN THE STREETS CORNER SINGING 🎤 THESE SONGS . AWSOME DAYS
Ace Ventura 2 is the movie that originally made me look for this song. Now that it is in the lion king remake many kids will seek this song out.
I've watched many of the PBS specials, and enjoyed most of them. It's amazing that many still sound the same, but because of the years they look different. I sometimes close my eyes and listen to them sing, then open my eyes and go 'huh? I that's them?' It's great that most can still sing like before.
Where's the others ?
Hey when ya talent ya got talent. Loved this version.
awesome truly awesome
