Jay Black (David Blatt)

A Brooklyn native, Jay was the lead singer of the band “Jay and the Americans” in
the 1960s. The band had numerous hits including "Cara Mia", "Come a Little Bit
Closer", and  "This Magic Moment". 

As the result of mounting debts, Black sold his ownership of the name "Jay and the 
Americans" to Sandy Deanne, Black’s former band mate and original member of 
the group, for $100,000 in 2006. Black now performs solely under his stage name.

Dr. Frank Conrad (above), assistant chief engineer of Westinghouse Electric, developed the technology that made KDKA Radio possible. He constructed a transmitter and installed it in a garage near his home in 1916. The station was licensed originally as 8XK with a power of 100 watts.

On Tuesday, November 2, 1920, election night, four men (pictured above) compiled election returns received via wired-telephone from the newsroom at the Pittsburgh
