Peter James - After You

Doo wop style Liberty Records 1963 release by Peter James. His recordings have long been attributed to PJ Proby by many music collectors. After You was written by Trace & Romaine. This is the flip side of My Hands Are Tied.

Billboard magazine lists this Peter James release in a May-63 issue. Billboard lists a release of After You / Good-bye Mary Ann by The Dells in Oct-63. Various web sources show The Dells recorded their version in Oct-62; no recording date available for the Peter James version.

I recently found that Billboard gave this After You / My Hands Are Tied single a 3-star rating in a May 1963 issue of their magazine. A later release of After You by The Dells (on the Argo label) was given a 4-star rating by Billboard in an October 1963 issue. The Dells version was actually recorded in October 1962 but wasn't released until the following year. Argo was a subsidiary of Chess Records, based in Chicago.

Thanks, merrysnotproud. I've added the additional info to the description.

A deeper timbre as in "The Glory of Love", "Angelica" or "Stay Awhile"? Or as in "I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore" or "I Apologise". P.J. Proby imitated just about everybody from Rudy West to Paul Anka to Billy Eckstine to Elvis. He tried to sing in every key known to man, and a few known to woman! It would be interesting to know whether anything he ever recorded was the real P.J. Proby voice. LOL

This ain't Proby, Proby has a deeper timbre. Great Voice but not proby. Similar stle with the tremor though !

rontenn,

Whatever. How many times have you posted on youtube and various other forums that you were going to ignore people like me? You even tell others to do the same. But you just can't stay away. You keep coming back to make Proby look as though he lets his staff run amuck on the internet. A real world-class operation.

[rontenn]

merrysnotproud This is my last word on the subject. You are absolutely right of course...arguing with numbskulls like you & one or two others with the same low IQ is really a waste of time.If silly people kept off youtube then I would never have to leave a reply.I know personally more than a hundred wonderful Proby fans/friends but there are always a couple of bad apples in there somewhere.I am now tossing you out of the apple barrel byeee

PS. I AM a Proby friend & insider!

[merrysnotproud]

rontenn,

You do not get it and probably never will. If you are trying to promote P.J. Proby you should consult a real professional in the promotion business. You present yourself as a Proby friend and insider. Arguing with people on youtube about their opinions makes Proby look like an rank amateur. Has he come to this? How pitiful. Just imagine someone closely connected with Tom Jones yelling at other people on youtube. It wouldn't happen in a million years.
