"Niki Hoeky" #23 3/25/1967

Texas-born James Marcus Smith tried to make it in the rock and roll biz in the late 50's with no real success. A female friend suggested he use her former boyfriend's name on stage, and the newly minted P.J. Proby moved to England. He had several Top 10 hits over there, overshadowed by a few instances where he split his trousers on stage. This was his only US Top 40 record. Hey, I can't decipher the lyrics, either.
