@seasonkickoff Maybe you're just a Proby hater then, with remarks like "vocal mishmash" etc. I use my real name here and it's no secret that I promote P.J. Proby. Why should it? Are promoters not entitled to their opinions? You're the one with secrets, as you don't even have the guts to use your ...

  In Europe we respect each others opinions and we do not stoop to name calling and don't get personal. I would love to have a serious discussion with Jerry Jackson fans, where ever they are. Sadly, here on YouTube it seems to be impossible to stick to the subject. Could you please ...

  @seasonkickoff Thanks for taking the trouble to listen to PJs 1965 version. I remember the opinions in the Sixties about P.J. Proby were just as opposed as they are now. You either loved him or hated him. There's no in between. It's the story of his life and I'm sure we'll never agree on YouTube ...

  I guess you are sampling the two recordings of one song,because you would want people's comments. I definitely prefer Proby's version here, but his 1965 rendition with great orchestra backing is the ultimate version ever. Proby's second LP certainly wasn't a flop in Holland. I'll always remember ...

very impressive performance... doesn't look as if he's about to die, except for the overweight which is an extra risk of course.Still very powerful! In fact I think he's more convincing than in his younger years... a true artist.

P.J. Proby has listened to this song. He has never heard the song before. This is not his voice and he has never aspired to be "a Cricket". This is definitely not P.J. Proby singing.

  Well, If George was a member of the Tee Set that must have been for a very brief time, as Tee Set history doesn't mention him. I grew up in Amsterdam in the Sixties and I've never heard of any of his bands. I'm not really impressed with George at all. However, if he is a Proby fan, he's a friend ...

  Why doubt it's Proby? You don't deny Elvis learned the songs for the movies from demo's, do you? Ben Weisman states in one of his interviews he used P.J. Proby as a demo singer. P.J. Proby tells us in an interview in 1964 on YouTube that he's done loads of the demos, from Kid Gala...
