Songs I Dig: "Niki Hoeky" - P. J. Proby

It's been far too long since I last posted on MOG - a fact I regret and blame on my work. In order to remedy this, I'm challenging myself to post more frequently. And I figure the best way for me to do that is to share songs that I enjoy and think others should hear. I make no claims about the enduring legacy or hipness of these - I just like 'em. I'm starting things off with a track by P.J. Proby. Proby found some success in the sixties, mainly in England and mainly as a Tom Jones type singer. But there is more to him than that, as "Niki Hoeky" proves. A great slice of southern-funky-ness.And here's a fun P.J. Proby fact: In 1968 he recorded an album called Three Week Hero, notable mainly because it marks the first time all four (future) members of Led Zeppelin palyed together on a record.
