I Am P. J. Proby is the debut studio album by P. J. Proby, released in 1964 on the Liberty label. It features versions of songs such as Doris Day's hit "Que Sera Sera/Whatever Will Be Will Be" and "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu". Compared to his other albums, I Am P. J. Proby is faster in beat and more influenced by rock and roll. It was produced by Charles Blackwell who also acted as the musical director. In 2005, the album was released un-mastered in mono on EMI, in a double pack with Proby's second studio album, P. J. Proby.
