P.j. - The Best Years Of My Life - Who Is P.j?

[Britmusicsoulfan]

Hello everyone,

I picked up some 45s last weekend, and one was a record I'd never seen.

It's a white label promo for P.J. for (I've Given You) The Best Years Of My Life, V.I.P. 25062 from 1970.

So, I have a few questions. I did a bit of online searching and didn't find what I was looking for.

1) Who the heck was P.J.?

2) Did this record make it past the promo stage?

Many thanks!

P.J. = Patti Jerome

Yes, it was issued on V.I.P. in '71 backed with "It Takes A Man To Teach A Woman How To Love" which also came out on Tamla as the the flip to TLC (Tender Loving Care)
