A native Texan, P.J. Proby had to relocate to England to find musical success, and he did it just as the British Invasion era was starting, finding the charts with energetic and soulful songs like "Hold Me." Proby was hardly a jingle jangle mop-top, though, and he had a strong theatrical side to his singing style, and he soon was sounding more like Tom Jones than any of the Beatles. This collection has several early tracks from Proby's EMI years (1961 to 1972), including "Hold Me," and features a whole lot of Proby singing in his Broadway musical style.

A Great Artist! No wonder this man was considered a legend. His voice is marvelous and his singing is great. On this album you find some of his best recordings from the 60s. "Let The Water Run Down" shows his star qualities, as does "Hold Me". Probably the best singer from Britain along with Van Morrison, Tom Jones and Joe Cocker.

60-ies mania! A very good album for those who can't get enough of the music of the swingin' sixties. Submitted by robert m (Oslo, Norway) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
