I was around 18 or 19 when I went to see this show for the first time, it's was a fantastic performance you had to be there to appreciate it more musically and visuly it was a great tribute, I went to see P. J years later in another musical as himself and he got a well deserved standing ovation, he is one of the greats as was Elvis
What a voice, what a talent, what a man. I love the pictures also. The one in the blue shirt has always been a favourite of mine. Long may you reign as my King PJ.
I think P.J. is truly every bit the King that Elvis was. In this medley he has that same rare and raw talent of the early Elvis. Rock On P.J. You make me Very Happy.
I had an uncle who was nuts on P.J.Proby. He performed in our town back in the late 70s. Proby introduced himself and came onto the stage when my uncle ran up to him and shouted, your name is not PJ Proby, it is James Marcus Smith. Two bouncers went to throw my uncle out when P.J. said, 'leave the guy alone, he is a personal friend of mine'.
What can I say. I have always thought P J is the most versatile singer I have ever heard. I loved to listen to Elvis but I think P J tops that in every way.I have never met P J but Im delighted to say I was on an L P compilation with him a long time ago singing RIVER LIFFEY DUBLIN CITY. i WISH HIM WELL Best Wishes BRI - DAR
Why are people comparing Elvis Presley and PJ Proby how can you they are two different singers that sung the same songs in the same style. One is not better than the other they are both fantastic. Stop comparing and just enjoy great talent
Credit where it's due. PJ has real talent, a first rate voice, perfect pitch and great feel for the lyric. Listen to PJ's flawless rendition of "Fun in Acapulco." Nobody denies Elvis, the King, got there first. Not even PJ. But Elvis respected PJ's demo versions so much that he copied them note for note. Imitation, they say, is the sincerest compliment of all.
P J and the King were two different guys,In 70 years ive seen 1000s of Elvis wanabees,All bums,Untill P J does the Kings covers,..P J IS THE VOICE IN HIS OWN RIGHT,,,,,IF YOU DID NOT LIVE THE DAY,YOUR COMMENTS ARE WORTH HOT AIR...BUT,IF YOU DIG THE VOICE,,,THATS COOL,,HE IS GOING STRONG,,WILL BE CATCHING HIS SHOWS THIS 2016,...............Back in the day That goofy dress and hair,had the crowds howling for him..Everyone followed his styles,,FOR YEARS,and some still do....I CALL THAT P Js LEGACY... GO JAMES MARCUS SMITH...TEXAS BOY.
this planet has 2 really amazing talents, one is elvis who's sadly not with us. the other happens to be PJ PROBY the best voice ever. this is an incredible tribute to ELVIS.
Everyone has there own opinion, and if you like Elvis, or PJ Proby, that's ok. I think Elvis was the king of rock 'n roll, and matured, singing beautiful ballads. P J Proby also sang just as good, and matured into singing beautiful ballads. I love them both. In my opinion, P J Proby is the 2nd Elvis.
P.J. had these songs until recently in his stage act.He then after many years he dropped the "Elvis" segment.Lots of fans I know were happy about this as they were getting fed up & wanted a few new songs added.I personally think they were well worth keeping in P.J.'s act. Ron
Oh my, forgot how good this guy can sing, he souls out on "without love". Go PJ Proby, still can out-Elvis Elvis. PJ Proby demo'd for Elvis who basically kept the phrasing and style that Proby submitted, therefore they sound one and the same to a great extent. To repeat a quote I've seen somewhere, Elvis is the King, but PJ Proby is the Emperor.
Can out-Elvis Elvis? You really are deluded. He appears to be an Elvis impersonator here, because that is exactly what he is doing for a reason. But Elvis he ain't. The reason PJ Proby did demo's for Elvis, was to do it in the Elvis style so that Elvis could get the gist and style of the song. He would look stupid doing them in the style of George Formby. I like PJ by the way, but give him credit for his own individual style.
Elvis & P.J. are equally as good to me.Just remember though P.J. sang on the radio as a kid long before Elvis got famous. Remember too that P.J. didn't record "Without Love" in a studio it was live onstage in London as were all the songs he did in the Elvis musical. Ron
pj is great give him the grateness he desevers khg elvis loved him and he loved elvis and any one who sings elvis should be happy that the king is still he and always zxcvbnmthank you very much zxcvbntcb xxx
No matter how hard any singer tries on this song there is no way it is ever going to come close to the King.Top marks to PJ though for trying.He is a top class performer with a great voice.
l was 5/6 years old when l saw this musical.My parents bought me the sound track album n l was n Elvis fan from then BUT this medley is/was my first Elvis moment/memory n it wasn't even him! PJ Proby's demo's for Elvis were copied exactly n made mediocre songs amazing. You cannot fault PJ. Second only to the King in my book
A very outstanding voice I am looking forward to seeing him at the Americana at Newark Notts July 2013, that potty Mary Whitehouse ruined an outstanding career & we all were the loosers.
Elvis also won a competition when he was a kid..he sang a song called old sheph...mehn, i can't believe i'm actually comparing this guy to Elvis, cuz u can't compare anything to Elvis..
l passed comment on this a year ago and can't believe that random people have clicked on PJ to have a moan! Dickheads, PJ's Fun in Alcapulco or Elvis? both awesome, that's how good PJ was
They should make a musical about P.J.Proby's life.....nobody can better him! Listen to this clip & realise why. He does the E.P. songs better than E.P. himself!!!
My favourite.all of my life..I was a little 7yr.old then..my birthday.few days ago...Come back down under..I am all grown Woman now.. with exquisite taste.still .I thank you..(I'm yours)
theEDDIEveee, Dates of demos? Elvis Presley began while teenager ..... was recognized as "new and unique, unlike any other." How is that "stealing" vocal style from anybody. I first heard Elvis Presley during early 1950s on radio as he sang at Louisiana Hayride. ---Sis---
Stop the massacre, why these $0.005 imitators, to ask if Elvis never recorded a single record Arrêtez le massacre,pourquoi ces imitateurs à 0.005$,a ce demander si Elvis n'a jamais enregistrer un seul disque
Why do people try & sound like Elvis?They all fail,time & time again.ELVIS WAS THE MAN/THE VOICE.Its funny to listen to impersonators!!!Hopefully they grow out of doing it one day.For there sake!!!!!
PJ won a singing competion aged just 11 ..elvis ?? you obviously know very little if you didnt know Pj did many many demo's for elvis before he became famous himself... I suggest you brush up on your musical history trei3000 sis.. by the way, have you seen tiger532 lately haha.
PCDRULEZZZ, The PJ Proby fellow does not sing from heart and does not sound like Elvis Presley. The audience response sounds like recorded track, no emotional screaming, etc. ---Sis---
I love elvis' voice but i cant stand proby's over dramatic singing. i dont think he sings like elvis .there is a reason why elvis got to where he did and proby just scraped along the bottom.
Outstanding and Brilliant That's PJPROBY.
What a great singer, my mother likes your singing too🕵🏼♀
This is a great performance. Proby can certainly sing anyone he wants! Thanks for sharing.
I never liked Elvis but loved p j even had a boyfriend who looked just like him and he got chased by all the girls
I was around 18 or 19 when I went to see this show for the first time, it's was a fantastic performance you had to be there to appreciate it more musically and visuly it was a great tribute, I went to see P.

Beautiful comment. Tx
These songs show PJ at his best.
I think P.J. is truly every bit the King that Elvis was. In this medley he has that same rare and raw talent of the early Elvis.
Rock On P.J.
You make me Very Happy.

Good Man!
Real human Man!
For me both Elvis & P.J. were KINGS! And the great Texan Proby is still going strong!
the greatest voice .

And you're one year behind the times kypoppa! LOL!
About 25,000 people have viewed this great clip. Thanks for being ONE of them.
p j proby sounds good too me
A man who was denied world wide fame at the time because of a silly incident on stage that wouldn't even register today!
WOW
Elvis would get P J to sing some of his songs first so he could see how they would sound when he sang them because pj had same tone when he sang
Well I would just like to say to all the dear little knockers ,who are you ..?? He is P.J.

And do not forget the great 9 minute blues demo P.J. did with LED ZEPPELIN !
My favourite.all of my life..I was a little 7yr.old then..my birthday.few days ago...Come back down under..I am all grown Woman now.. with exquisite taste.still .I thank you..(I'm yours)
PJ Proby sings Elvis??
Cant recall Elvis singing A world without Love.. maybe Peter and Gordon
WRONG.Elvis was & still is the best voice ever.People try & copy the KING,but all fail.
Elvis Lives,
Knew his work at the time but did not realise he had Tom Jones power. Can happen for a career not to soar, but this was a crime against rock
@davidandcleo
thank you,

Dates of demos? Elvis Presley began while teenager ..... was recognized as "new and unique, unlike any other." How is that "stealing" vocal style from anybody. I first heard Elvis Presley during early 1950s on radio as he sang at Louisiana Hayride.
---Sis---
Firstly...PJ sings these elvis songs in his own voice, and he sings from the heart with lots of feelings. you talk nonsense....trei3000
"Who are you people? Tell me! Just anyone of you, that think this recording was made for less than $100,000???"
Odd relatives? Vernon was a player
Stop the massacre, why these $0.005 imitators, to ask if Elvis never recorded a single record
Arrêtez le massacre,pourquoi ces imitateurs à 0.005$,a ce demander si Elvis n'a jamais enregistrer un seul disque

PCDRULEZZZ,
The PJ Proby fellow does not sing from heart and does not sound like Elvis Presley. The audience response sounds like recorded track, no emotional screaming, etc.

You talk nonsense, he is brilliant, I have seen him live.Amazingvoice.
I love elvis' voice but i cant stand proby's over dramatic singing. i dont think he sings like elvis .there is a reason why elvis got to where he did and proby just scraped along the bottom.
