J. Thomas
With

apparent today as it was when he recorded his first hit in 1967,
“I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”.
Since the
mid-1960s, BJ Thomas has become one of the most recognized and
respected voices of the American musical landscape. He has impacted
many areas of popular music with 15 Top 40 pop hits, 10 Top 40
country hits, 5 Grammys, 2 Dove awards and 15 Gold and Platinum
Records. He is the only artist to successfully move to the top
of three music genres not as a crossover and also have crossover
success.
“As a
singer,” BJ states, “I have the chance to lift the spirits
of the audience and make them feel good, at least for the evening.”
It’s
an attitude people have noticed. Fans frequently approach BJ to
thank him for the impact of his songs ranging from the mega hits
"Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head", "Eyes
of a New York Women", "Hooked on a Feeling", "Another
Somebody done Somebody Wrong Song", to country smashes like
"New Looks From An Old Lover." BJ’s music is testimony
to the fact he is a survivor. He has overcome personal adversity
and addiction as well as weathered professional storms to emerge
musically stronger than ever.
