P. J. Proby – P. J. PROBY***

That Means A Lot/I Will/Mission Bell/The Nearness Of You/Lonely Weekends/If I Loved You/Let The Water Run Down/She Cried/Secret Love/I Will Come To You/Lonely Teardrops/With These Hands

A quick self titled follow up album from powerful American vocalist P. J. Proby who was a lot more popular in Britain than his native country. Includes the UK No. 19 hit single Let The Waters Run Down.

“The brilliant P. J. Proby, who has the most awesome voice, deep emotional power, high notes and deep notes. Without a doubt a most natural and gifted singer.”

“This album is just so incredibly good. The selection of tunes, the brilliant arrangements, the blend in styles, the skilful orchestras, the production, the sound and, above all, the singing is just superb the whole record through.”

“Another example of perfection from the master of every vocal style known to mankind. Impossible to pick a favourite track on this album, all are classic Proby. His voice, talent, charm and personality must live on for future generations to enjoy.”

“This is pop at the very best, all songs are delivered in great voice and the orchestra is really nice, probably my favourite PJ album.”

“Every track on this LP is just outstanding; he was never as good as this again. Strong rich baritone voice. He didn’t get the recognition he deserved.”

“When one remembers Proby's falsetto singing back in the sixties and compare these songs, one can appreciate the versatility of the man. There are no singers of that decade who can touch him for voice control, range and depth.”
