P.J. Proby is a living legend and people should show him more respect. He's entitled to a mistake here and there with places and events 60 years ago. He was there! Besides why would he lie??? He has many fans but there have always been a few anti Proby people who don't believe anything he says. Tommy Sands and his mother were interviewed in 1957 in a magazine called TV Radio Mirror. One of them talked about a school chum from Houston who visited Tommy in Hollywood. They didn't give the name of Tommy's chum but I believe it has to be Jimmy Smith (later to become P.J. Proby). P.J. turned down a football scholarship to the University of Missouri when he graduated from Western Military Academy in 1957 and went to Hollywood to seek his fortune in show business. He had known Tommy Sands in Houston when Tommy and P.J.'s sister Betty Moers were a couple. P.J. often talks about Betty dating Tommy and Elvis at the same time and how he had to tell Elvis she was with her mother when she was really with Tommy. Then later P.J. became engaged to Dotty Harmony who had been one of Elvis' girlfriends. He did demos for Elvis and even wrote a song for him. Elvis loved the song but refused to record it when he found out who wrote it. P.J. has written a 16 page booklet of stories about himself and Elvis in the good ole days. It's available from his web site. P.J. is still going strong and will be part of the massive 60's Gold Tour later this year in the UK. One day P.J. Proby will get the recognition he really deserves. At 75 he is still soooo versatile and unique and his voice is better than ever!
