In Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom (1968) Nik Cohn wrote that PJ Proby's greatest gift was convincing everyone around him that he was a genius, living like a Hollywood star he "never walked small", and he could "always find someone to pay his bills".

Cohn's fascination with Proby's image inspired him to write a successful novel (I Am Still The Greatest Says Johnny Angelo) based on Proby's narcissism blended with a pre-Army Elvis. Maybe Cohn was too smart to be duped into paying Proby's bills.

@oldtowntonight really, LOL GET REAL PROBY BASHER !!

If PJ's popularity got as far as the other side of the world then that says enough to me clown ha ha. ye...he was a BIG star and boozer with all the chics. many are ...then and now still so what changes ?? LOL

@oldtowntonight Proby thought he could be a superstar by living like Elvis. It was a con. He didn't own those houses he occupied either. He still thinks he can be a star by saying he is and demanding star treatment, and rontenn is still blinkered by his wild tales of huge fortunes. Those tales can't be backed up because there weren't nearly enough hit records and ticket sales to yield that kind of money. We can file the £1.5M cheque story with the ones about Proby and Elvis growing up together.

@rontenn Nobody watches these clips anymore. They hit the stop button and read the comments.

Proby was known "worldwide" only if you think the UK, northwest Europe and eastern Australia is "the world". It isn't.

He's lucky EMI didn't have him arrested for some of his shenanigans. He lived large playing the role of a big star, boozed and played and boozed some more, then went bankrupt and has whined about it all for 40 years. You're calling people here weird? PJ Proby is the epitome of weird.

[rontenn]

@oldtowntonight. EMI still owe Proby a fortune. However a top star at the time like P.J. was still raking in the cash & he had a butler,personal hairdresser,bodyguards,limo's,­chauffeur,homes in England & Hollywood.He was a worldwide superstar.....but of course if a few blinkered time-wasters like you choose not to believe it then that's your own weird,personal choice! What are you doing watching clips by such a "nobody" in your eyes?

[oldtowntonight]

Very interesting. PJ Proby complains in radio interviews about EMI never paying him anything and they owe him millions. But somebody called Allied sent him a cheque for £1.5M for royalties in '66. A million here and a million there - pretty soon we'll be talking about REAL money. Probably not. This conversation is a hilarious! I'll bet rontenn hasn't told whacko stories like this around the other members of those sixties tours.

@rontenn Right. Problem is you're nothing more than an ID on youtube posting stories that you can't substantiate about a washed-up singer and you think anyone reading them will believe you? Whatever.

[rontenn]

@kendall156 Who said it was from EMI? Got your little brain at full revs now haven't I? In '66 I was 19 & on top of the world ma! I remember one word that stood out on the cheque..Allied. The rest is gone from my memory.

[kendall156]

@rontenn A cheque for £1.5M in 1966 would be the equivalent of at least £20M in 2010. Did you forget PJ said EMI never paid him anything for his records? Who paid him all those royalties if it wasn't EMI?

According to your channel page you would have been 18 years old in 1966. What were you doing for PJ that he would show a kid that age his royalty cheques?
