We recently posted a comment on an Youtube video or two that featured older P.J. Proby performances. We said that P.J. Proby was going to sing his heart out in the show he's featured in and was still going strong.
We took a little criticism for saying so, because we posted on these older videos, which we enjoyed listening to!
Today we found this 2011 video of P.J., apparently recorded in conjunction with his tour, which proves our point. If ELVIS PRESLEY were alive today, would be a little bit older than P.J. and we would hope also be in such good voice. But we will never know because Elvis died too young, and for a time, though this is not well understood today, it was almost as if he had never been.
And if Elvis were alive today, believe me when I say that he would feel honored to be covered by P.J. who once did demo records for Elvis, and he would reach out to P.J., who as the world knows, has been going through a difficult time financially in his senior-citizenhood. P.J. has loved singing - has loved entertaining - since forever. Like Elvis he knows his voice is a gift from God.
It's a gift he loves to use.
He's earned a lot of money over many years time and he's stimulated the economy of Great Britain and the United States over the years with his spending. Though we can't calculate it (one magazine attempted to monetize Britany Spears recently) anyone with a successful performance career keeps other people working - from the ushers in the stadium, to the truckers delivering records to clerks in the stores, hundreds of people. P.J., who is also a songwriter, seems to have spent more career time in Great Britain, a country he has embraced wholeheartedly.
In this world wide Depression, we are reminded of how money flows. No one with talent or energy likes to retire or give up their hope of earning or contributing. Like thousands of P.J. Proby fans worldwide our thoughts are on P.J.
