  • @manjadolan Are you aware some youtube uploads of PJ Proby's early tracks (Somewhere, Maria etc) are blocked from viewing by anyone in North America and Japan?

    His website looks like he assumes the right to copy and sell anything connected with him including Elvis' voice from movie soundtracks and tracks of his own voice produced by major record labels. Those record companies are on the warpath if blocking on youtube is any indication.

  • @BroaderScope You know as much about Elvis as you do about P.J.Proby.....ZILCH!

  • @rontenn You're hanging out with many Elvis fans? The Proby "In My Dreams" track was on a 1978 bootleg Elvis CD. Elvis fans dismissed it as NOT Elvis years ago!

    If by versatile you mean Proby's a mimic you're right. Elvis didn't have to sing like anybody else. Hundreds of millions of people have bought records done in HIS voice.

    Have the names of those many, many songwriters Proby did demos for slipped your mind? Blowing off the question just confirms the claim isn't true.

  • @BroaderScope You know absolutely nothing! Many Elvis fans truly believe that it IS Elvis singing "In My Dreams" & refuse to acknowledge it's Proby. So that can only mean that Proby's Elvis voice is as good as that of Elvis himself. As for answers & details to jerks like you.....you're just not worth bothering with! This reply is an exception as I can't stand the jibberish some YouTubers talk. Proby is easily as good as Elvis & much more versatile!

  • @rontenn You never have any answers about details no matter who asks or how they ask it. You just talk big about many no-name songwriters and no-title demos for Elvis. If PJ Proby was the big star you're always claiming he'd have something to say besides who he did demos for.

    You think the Proby recording of "In My Dreams" sounds exactly like Elvis? You've never listened to Elvis or you don't know anything about voices .

  • @BroaderScope You're very well mannered aren't you? NOT! As for all the questions you asked me.....I'll adapt your attitude & reply with an ill-mannered answer....stick those questions up your ass!

  • @rontenn The writers of this song have already been discussed below in the comments. Can't you read?

    How many of those PJ Proby demos for Elvis have you heard? Where did you hear them and what are the song titles?

    Maybe you'd like to name ten of those many, many songwriters Proby did demos for. Or maybe you can't.

  • This sounds like a demo for a group like The Drifters.Jett Powers/P.J.Proby demoed many songs for many, many songwriters as well as his own compositions.In my opinion this was not done for Elvis.I think this song is fantastic,love to know who the writers were. When P.J. did a demo song intended for Elvis he sounded exactly like him.

  • @manjadolan The Legends version is on LGN45838's channel. I like theirs a lot better than this one but that's my opinion. The Legends sound like a young band in tune with a young audience. To me PJ Proby sounds like a 30 year old man singing the words of a kid who's running to the movies after school. I can't see why anybody thinks a songwriter would write a song like this for Elvis to sing in 1962.

  • @manjadolan George Goehring was one of the NYC Brill Building crowd during the 50's and early 60's. Brill songwriters did their own demos or used singers there, not singers in L.A. Songs were churned out fast and furious in hopes of a big hit. There wasn't a lot of time or money spent on demos. Have you heard Carole King's demo of Take Good Care of My Baby?
