I'd forgotten his version of Maria (eclipsed by the memory of his sublime Somewhere) but it illustrated how wonderful a singer Proby was - as did the other side She Cried (which I'd never heard). Do make sure to check them out to hear how splendid his voice was. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

His first couple of releases were on Decca but then someone realised he was still under contract to the US label !

Proby probably had the finest voice of all the singers in the 1960's.He's still going strong & still sings incredibly well but even tho' he has a group of lovely loyal fans I feel he should be getting much more recognition.He can sing absolutely any kind of song & whichever song he does perform he always does it the best.Many singers are called Legends,Proby should also be placed in that group.

Jim and I recently (well, a few years ago) got into regular correspondence after I told him I think his version of I Can't Make It Alone was one of the ten greatest tracks ever recorded. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

One wonders where Tom Jones would be today - had he not got his "break" filling in for Proby after he was banned from a tour for those trouser-splitting incidents.

Incidents that Proby never recovered from - his career was downhill all the way after that.
