Mission Bell was the "B" side to Stagger Lee. Aussie DJ's realised Mission Bell is the better song and it got a lot of air play, reaching #2 spot on the national Top 40 chart.
Considering that this is mid-'65, Proby's look and style is actually pretty eccentric for the time. (He looks like no other male in the audience, needless to say. Even the Beatles were still performing in suits then.)
Remember this,a 💎 from my childhood Auckland New Zealand 2024
P.J. Proby's biggest international hit, reaching No. 3 in Australia.
Only a few people in the entertainment business can generate such excitement. Proby excelled in every way.
This is so awesome...best version of this song and Proby was a great singer and even if this is lip synched it's a treasure.
P.J. Proby was and is a treasure. ❤️
He is so adorable in all his songs, love Mission Bell 🔔
I have been a fan since his "British Invasion" days. PJ Proby rocks!
best version of this song love his style just awesome
Use to play this on my record player over and over in the 60. Love you PJ. 🌹❤️
P.J.P.......my most fave singer ever!
The Hollywood A Go Go dancers carried the show.
Great to see a new clip from the 1960s!

Check out Sonny Bono, Mark Lindsay and Brian Jones in 65: Lindsay also had a ponytail.
I thought P's mannerisms on this vid were a little over the top until I saw a vid of Donnie Brooks and realised that P was running a parody of Donnie.
I'm absolutely in love with this record. It beats the Donnie Brooks version by a mile.
Interesting. Never heard PJ Proby sing this magnificent song, but he aces it. Better than Donnie Brooks or Fleetwood Mac
Similar hairdo to Mark Lindsay of the Raiders.
Right, Only Mark Lindsay was a few years later!
The Raiders were around since the late '50s, but I don't know when Mark started doing the ponytail thing. @@manjadolan
Talented...but every bit as nutty as Jerry Lee Lewis
what a joke
This is dreadful.
He has a nice voice, but if only the chorus singers were a little more clearer & louder like the original by(Donnie Brooks)
I like this version...but jok version maybe better 🇦🇺🇦🇺
