PJ Proby - Diamond Jubilee Concert

[bobthebandit]

If PJ Proby hadnt refused to record Delilah in 1968 when it was offered to him by Les Reed, would he have been singing it tonight at the Diamond Jubilee Concert instead of Tom Jones?!

[DaisyNonna]

Doubt it

[craft1948]

oooh I liked PJ in his velvet trousers.................

[Hopkirk]

It's a bit of a morbid song, really.

[puternut]

Hope not - he was cr@p (in my opinion 'Maria' is one of the worst 45's ever)

[Ann]

Gosh perish the thought - he may have done his party piece and split his trousers on stage, and it was a bit too cold for that! ;)

[craft1948]

I never said he could sing...........

[zebo]

Is he still alive?

[craft1948]

I think so zebo.............but he may be living on benefits.

[Ann]

Yes he is 73 ..... still quite good looking ................ see Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.J._Proby
I used to love "Hold me" ..............

[Zacs-Master]

What a strange question

[zebo]

Yes, he is, he was charged with benefit fraud but found not guilty. I recall that at one point he was living round the corner from us in Bolton apparently, don't ask me why Bolton!

[craft1948]

Zacs I dreamt about you last night!!

[Ann]

I missed Grace Jones at the concert - what was she like? Very strange choice of person in my opinion..........

[Hopkirk]

She was absolutely brilliant - far better than I expected, and amazing for 64.

[jno]

Grace Jones performed with a hula hoop. Really rather well.

[Ann]

Al;l I can remember about her was that she whacked Russell Harty really hard -I can't remember why? She was always rather a scary looking woman .....LOL :)

[Ann]

<All>

[Zacs-Master]

Craft, lay off the cheese! Hope it was good.

[craft1948]

Not really...............you recognised my car at the Tesco filling station, walked up, pulled my hair, then my dog bit you.

[Hopkirk]

She looked pretty scary tonight, all oiled up with a mad head dress and doing the hula hoop.

She's good entertainment though.

Did anyone think Annie Lennox was a bit inebriated or similar?
