The two first ones as Jett Powers

 

Third single as P.J.Proby the Johnny Cash styled "So Do I". Official release is much more hard to get than the "audition record"

 

In -63 there was a sudden change of name to Orville Woods pretending to be a coloured singer. At that time black stations played only black atristes and white stations played theire artistes.There is a funny story about this record. Black Stations played this record in the believe that it was a coloured singer. It all came to an end when Billboard published a photo of Orville Woods.Here are two copies in different printings

 


 "Hold Me" and "Together" was released on London label in USA

 


 Imperial , the subsidiary label for Liberty released at least one singel with P.J.Proby

 





I NEED LOVE
"I Need Love" was released in -65 on Surfside Records in the U.S. and later on it was released in other Contries on different labels.
