P.J. Proby, born James Marcus Smith on 6 November 1938, is a singer, songwriter, and actor noted for his voice and his theatrical portrayals of Elvis Presley, plus interpretations of modern standards in the vein of Tom Jones. Until 1961, he used the name Jett Powers.
The stage name P.J. Proby was suggested to him by a friend named Sharon Sheeley (Eddie Cochran’s girlfriend) who remembered the name of an old high school boyfriend.
P.J. Proby did demos for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and other artists. His greatest hits are “Somewhere”, “Maria”, “Hold Me”, “Niki Hoeky” and “I Apologise”. In 1996, Marc Almond produced the album Legend which included the duet single “Yesterday Has Gone”.
P.J. Proby is still touring.

Clown Shoes 25. We'll Meet Again This album is released in celebration of PJ Proby's 70th birthday (in November 2008) It offers a comprehensive overview of his biggest hits and best recordings released for EMI between 1961 and 1972. Thus, appealing to both diehard fans and the casual consumer. Featured are eleven of Proby’s most successful international A&B side singles (such as Top 10 UK hits Hold Me, Somewhere” and “Maria” plus Top 5 Australian hit “Mission Bell”, #1 Swiss hit “I’m Coming Home”, Top 20 Dutch hit “Today I Killed A Man” and Top 30 US hit “Niki Hoeky”); Included are 2 previously unreleased songs plus 8 other tracks appearing on CD for the first time Many of these rarities are penned by popular songwriters, such as Jackie De Shannon, Randy Newman, Gerry Goffin & Carole King, The Gibb Brothers, Les Reed & Barry Mason and even Proby himself; • The song “Delilah” was written especially for Proby by Les Reed and Barry Mason but was never released. Tom Jones went on to have a smash hit with it. • Contained are key tracks from all eight of Proby’s LPs released during this era: “I Am PJ Proby” (1964), “PJ. Proby” (1965), “P.J Proby In Town” (1965), “Enigma” (1966), “Phenomenon” (1967), “Believe It Or Not” (1968), “Three Week Hero” (1969) & “California License” (1970); • The booklet features informative liner notes and many previously unseen promotional photographs from the EMI archives; • Throughout 2008, P.J Proby undertakes an extensive concert tour of major UK towns and cities. This will no doubt generate masses of publicity and interest in his music. Order from http://www.proby.co.uk/ or from http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0019H9WMU/worldofcillablac -AND ASK YOUR LOCAL RECORDSHOP TO ORDER FROM EMI !!
