P J Proby – “Good Things Are Coming My Way” (Liberty) 1967

Показать описание

Written by Lance Legault. Produced by Calvin Carter.

First issued as the b-side of PJ’s US release, “Maria” in 1965, “Good Things Are Coming My Way” probably got more exposure as the b-side of “Niki Hoeky” in both the US and the UK. Having moved to the UK, PJ had far more success there than he did in the US, although “Niki Hoeky” reached #23 on the Hot-100, giving him his highest charting 45. It was not a hit in the UK.

PJ released the album “Enigma” to tie in with the success of “Niki Hoeky” but it didn’t chart in either the US or UK.

The writer here, Lance Legault, was probably better known as an actor. He worked as a stunt double in a number of Elvis’ movies, starred in the TV series, “The A-Team” and appeared in Jack Good’s UK stage production of “Catch My Soul” in 1969.
