BJ Thomas Performing Live at The Memphis Boys Induction to The Musicians Hall of Fame

This clip was shot in 2007 at our first MHOF Induction Ceremony. We were inducting The Memphis Boys. We were lucky enough to have the late, great, BJ Thomas to perform as part of their induction.
We thought it was appropriate, with BJ's passing that we honor him by letting you see what a wonderful performer he was and how much he revered the musicians in Memphis.

RIP BJ Thomas ❤️

[@dwaynewladyka577]

What a nice tribute to BJ Thomas. May he rest in peace. Cheers!

[@drakbar5957]

Such a unique singing voice that made you smile on the happy songs, and sad on the hurting ones. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” got me hooked on the BJ Thomas feeling some 50 years ago. Heaven has one of the very best now!

My friends and I saw B.J. In Montgomery Alabama at the 1970 Summer Big Bam Show, at the Garrett Coliseum! B.J. walks out on stage and 100’s of teenage girls went nuts! Alabama State Troopers were security, and they were having to drag the girls off the stage! For a country boy attending his first major concert, a site I’ll never forget! Rest In Peace B.J.! Thanks Joe!💫

RIP BJ! Thank you for the great songs!

[@glennroberts9223]

Thanks so much Joe for posting this. It's hard to realize that BJ along with members of The Memphis Boys are no longer with us today. But on the other hand, the wonderful music they all created can be with us indefinitely. RIP guys. I will always appreciate the contributions you all made.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Glen.... Joe

[@ladydog1980]

So many times I saw him perform, knowing I never will again is so sad.

[@Ed_Stuckey]

So many hits. I guess Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head is one of my favorites.
Thanks, Joe.

[@monmixer]

Cant's count the times i mixed monitors for this guy. A lot of memories there. All good

[@tomw9875]

Thanks for sharing Mr. Mixer.

[@tomw9875]

Thanks Joe!

[@syn707]

BJ was always able to put his heart into a song. A comment here mentions ‘I’m So Lonesome I could Cry.’ If his singing on this song doesn’t caress your heart, you’re not alive.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for sharing 707........ Joe

[@rmelin13231]

@syn707 I wholeheartedly agree with you. You've said what I've been saying for over 50 years.

[@johnwooden8393]

I remember as a small child hearing Rain Drops Keep Falling on my head. Bj Thomas, Glenn Campbell, take me way back. Thanks for the wonderful songs, you will be missed.

[@ivannovotny4552]

Thank you for sharing it with us Joe. Much appreciated.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Ivan…… Joe

[@MrSeanyboy38]

Thank you, Joe. I met BJ at Chautauqua Institution in the early 80s. Such a gentleman.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Sean... Joe

[@darkomtobia]

Thank you for this. His music was right there beside me in my childhood.

[@patrickbeck3285]

It's hard to believe all the great songs B. J. cut here in Memphis and elsewhere over the years. And to think of all the great performers that we have lost this year. I just heard today that Tommy West of Cashman and West, who produced Jim Croce, Anne Murray, Ed Bruce and many others has passed away too. Far too many great performers are gone. It's great that you have these memories to preserve the great moments.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Patrick....... Joe

[@sandymuddy5766]

He was always stellar 💫👑💫

[@robertryan2542]

May you rest in peace Joe. From Ireland 🇮🇪

[@409freddie]

LOVE!

[@jimfogle184]

Thanks for sharing this clip Joe. I never heard BJ Thomas sing a song I didn't like. I don't know which songs he picked versus which ones were picked for him but he gave every song everything he had. When BJ Thomas sang one of your songs, you were a lucky person.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching Jim.... Joe

[@tempobob]

Wonderful tribute.

[@gwag8410]

I had no idea BJ was gone.. his music brings back so many memories.. he had a voice that you would know in a second, and very beautiful I might add.... thanks Joe.

[@nellymoriarty_5783]

Fantastic

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Nelly.... Joe

[@timcarr6401]

B.J. gave great respect. The band and the singer, just like the songwriter and the singer. There's a bonding.

[@jimbohnenkamp5082]

He touched so many different kinds of styles in his songs. There was something for almost everybody. We will miss him.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching Jim...Joe

[@susanpedersen2556]

Rest in Peace, B. J. Thank you for your life, your music, and your beautiful voice. You and your music will live in our hearts forever. ❤

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching and sharing your comments Susan..... Best, Joe

[@RickMcCargar]

So nice to be able to see a few extra moments of them all, the musicians and B.J. Thomas. Ran down the rabbit hole watching his videos the night I heard that he passed. I imagine I wasn't alone.

[@captainzeb1969]

The great Reggie Young on the electric sitar. They say is the most recorded guitarist ever.
