Song of the Day # 680 P.J.Proby


An interesting sub-genre in the history of music is the series of records made by the Rock and Roll stars of the fifties, responding to the changing events and values of the hippie generation. Dion, Del Shannon, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Johnny Rivers, Jerry Lee Lewis and countless others all had a go to greater or lesser effect and it resulted in some great records. 

Here's P.J.Proby, pretty much the most over the top of them all, having a go. He's helped by having a great song at his disposal. In the Jim Webb scheme of things. You definitely get the impression P.J. may be wearing beads here.
