    This video brought me to tears. 😓 Today BJ Thomas would have been 80 years old. For me, his voice is still the most distinctive and wonderful male vocalist in music history. I'm 68 years old and I had the privilege of seeing and listening to him for the first time when I was 18. It's saddened me so much last May when he passed away. End up until he had to start his cancer treatments, his voice remained the same without change. 💯 Thank you for all of your beautiful music BJ Thomas. 🎵🎙️🎼❤️ And Happy Heavenly Birthday.🎈🎈🎈

      He was truly wonderful. It’s odd to me that he’s known as a country performer. When I heard him on the radio singing “Raindrops” I never associated him with country music at all. And then there was “I just got a feeling “. Again, I never associated him with country music. I just thought he was this handsome, cool guy, with velvety, yet masculine voice. What wonderful musician and artist he was.

    Bob Lewin1 year agoApril 1966, Camp LeJeune, NC - We have finished our infantry training, had our 2 week leave and all of us waiting for our orders to be shipped out - many to Vietnam.
    As we have some freetime one evening in the barracks the radio is playing a wonderful song by BJ Thomas "I'm so lonesome I could cry". What feelings come over us as we have just left our families while we were on leave and now face a very uncertain future to say the least. It's strange to be an 18, 19, 20 year old hiding our innermost doubts and putting on a strong face. Many will never see their loved ones, families, friends and country again. Thanks BJ for your song and thank you brother Marines for your ultimate sacrifice. I remember. ....this comment touched me at my very core!! as I sit her crying ..I want to thank you sir for your service!! i'll never forget this comment!!

When I found out he died not too long ago I couldn’t stop crying when I heard his songs. He is with Jesus, no Mom, brother Billy Rose, Uncle Fred grandma and grandpa and I am so jealous. I miss them all and I want to see Jesus too!

    This song brings tears to me every single time I hear BJ sing it. He is phenomenal. I've seen him in person at least a half dozen times and every time tears just roll down my face. He is phenomenal!

    This man has one of the best voices EVER--the emotion that he puts into the three minutes of this song is unbelievable!! I like the Hank Williams version, too, but this has always been my favorite--I've had a lot of nights like the one he's talking about😢.

      He's had alot of issues with drugs and alcohol in his lifetime. I believe a true artist is sensitive and his sensitivity comes from his soul and all he has endured.

      I far prefer Elvis' version to B J Thomas' version. However, Jerry Lee tops even Elvis on this. Well it hits me harder still anyway. JLL has that sad, lonesome kind of voice that's so great for this kind of song.and he puts across emotion more powerfully than any other singer of Country songs.
      Even if you prefer Elvis, you'll prefer Jerry Lee to B J Thomas, I'm sure.

    As a young girl I got to listen & dance to BJ Thomas & his band the Triumphs in the early 60 in a small town East Bernard, Texas at Riverside Hall! BJ was starting out but I can tell you BJ sounds the same when he was a young teenager as he did in his 70! BJ was such a gift to come from a small town of Rosenberg, Texas to make a colorful splash in this music business! It was a shock to me when I heard of BJ’s passing! BJ left all of us who had the great privilege & pleasure of seeing him & listening & dancing to BJ’s singing! It’s been over 3 years since his passing & he will be missed forever! Thank You BJ for the beautiful memories & leaving us your great music! We know your music is being enjoyed with our Heavenly Father 🙏
    May You BJ Rest With Our Savior 🙏♥️

    I love Rock, Country, Classic and anything sang by an original voice. What I love most about B J Thomas is he sounds like NOBODY!! else. Sound alikes come a dime a dozen but a God gifted original voice is extremely rare. The man is a legend.

    only momentarily because of you. Also, you do
    realize that many many other singers (even Elvis)
    were envious of your ....... well, enough said. Tom 5/30/2021
