I am sure I heard other songs on the radio, but one of the first I remember hearing was "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head."
Three years ago, much later than when I first her the song, I was able to see him life in a very small concert hall.
"The Eyes of a New York Woman"
I left that song out when I wrote about seeing him on a Monday's Music Moves Me post, but someone said in the comments it was his favorite.
"Hooked on a Feeling" with Sara Niemietz. She is a talented singer who sang with him when she was 4. Her post was how I heard the news.
The world lost a talented singer, songwriter may he rest in peace!

Mike,
Robin had a tribute to BJ yesterday for the 4M dance party. I was sorry to read the news of his passing and I see you mentioned another celebrity death, Gavin MacLeod, another one that I didn't know about. Yikes, so many celebrities are slipping away!
B J Thomas was a truly fine artist. He first caught my attention in the summer of 1966 when his version of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" was played frequently on my local Knoxville TN pop station. He did such a mournful haunting version of that song.
