Kurz-Bio:
Der Sänger und Songwriter P. J. Proby wurde am 6. November 1938 in Houston, Texas, als James Marcus Smith geboren. Seine Künstler-Karriere begann er als Schauspieler, war aber immer schon musikalisch tätig, indem er bei Bands anheuerte, aber auch eigene Bands gründete. 1958 kam seine erste Single unter dem Pseudonym Jett Powers auf den Markt und die zweite folgte im Jahr darauf. Ab 1961 veröffentlichte er unter dem Bühnennamen P. J. Proby, den ihn die Songwriterin Sharon Sheeley verpasste, die in auch förderte.
