Morning Grannyknot. Back in the 60s I was a huge PJ Proby fan - well, still am if the truth be told.
PJ is best know over here for an unfortunate incident when he split his velvet trousers whilst preforming, and incurred the wrath of the indomitable Mary Whitehouse.
I read an article by Col Parker who managed Elvis, who said that by the time he heard PJ sing, he had already signed Elvis... and the two were so similar in appeal... good looking Southern boys with unbelievable voices... that he couldn't sign PJ as well. But from then on, whenever Col Parker thought a song might be suitable for Elvis, he would often have PJ try it out first.
PJ Proby, real name Jim Smith, has had a very different life from Elvis...but despite all the trials and tribulations he's been through, his voice is still utterly amazing. In fact I would say it's possibly better than ever. Even if he is singing to Labradors in Working Men's Clubs !
As well as American Trilogy, see if you can find Somewhere... that's fabulous too.
