I Am P. J. Proby is P. J. Proby's first studio album, released on the Liberty label. It features tracks 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. 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.
