How do gates rejoice? Are you even listening to yourself? Maybe the sidewalk rejoices too. Oh and the mailbox. All objects have feelings right? Ok, sure
Sad day. The very first song I remember singing, and my parents always commented...I was a foster child at 5yrs, well, evidently when the social worker brought me to thier house, I was singing, raindrops keep falling on my head. I had been through several foster homes, and out off all the different music I'm sure I had heard, raindrops was the one that stayed with. Thank you BJ Thomas, RIP.
my long time friend JOHN D. was a foster child and what a wonderful guy he turned out to be. I think he only had one long term foster parents. 30 yrs later i rented a place to a woman who was in many foster homes and became a patho. liar...I guess its how she survived. She didnt want to talk about her fosters at all. so sad.
Yary gork, all depends your outlook I guess, from the time I was 2 yrs old till I was 5 yrs old I went approximately 25 foster homes. Granted I already had the personality I was gonna have by there time my parents adopted me....I was good at being alone.... I'm a OTR trucker, stay out 2 months at least at a time....I couldn't enjoy anything else. Tried the married thing, didn't work for me, luckily no kids. Like to think my foster home journey made me better at what I do today.
@@johnm.3762 one of my foster homes really had an impact on me, my religious, political views and more, you could say I grew up wanting to be like my foster dad, and not my real dad that I still know today and who I care for. I went through hell but when the smoke cleared I have several children, many grandkids and an awesome wife. I am happy with who I am. Those of us who went through the "system" are fighters some are good and some are bad. I like to think I'm one of the good and I can probably say that about you.
@@scottherrin5812 I grew up in Southwest Houston. I would go and see BJ whenever i could. He played beer joints, honkey tonks, VFW Halls in small towns in that area. Shook his hand a couple of times. I will never forget Billy and Sue and Mama.
Kind Man, Beautiful Voice, Great Artist, Class Act! 15 Top 40 Hits, 10 Top 40 Country Hits, 5 Grammys, 11 Gold Records, over 100 Albums!!! Shame on you Rock and Roll Hall of Shame!!! Shame!!!! Shame!!!
Yes, it is a celebration...I miss my man, who loved BJ's music. In time, 10 yrs for me, JESUS SAVES THOSE WHO SANG PRAISES FOR HIM, she will find peace. Be brave girl, you have more than most will ever know, and you've got our SAVIOUR... for eternity.
An ICON!And I'm crying for I feel like I've lost a family member and I can't stop thinking about him and it is so sad!R.I.P.B.J.Thomas, Gone but not forgotten!
BJ Thomas was so gracious, friendly, charming, down to earth, friendly, empathic, understanding & an great guy that really did loved & adored his millions of loyal fans! he was always good to everybody, his fans, his family, his staff, and band mates, everyone loved him , especially all of us baby boomers! #BJThomasFansForever I met him twice, the first time, i went to his concert in 1979 on my 21st birthday, he sang for me and gave me an color autographed photo and invited backstage for a meet & greet, then in 1982, he invited me to do sing song duets with him at his concert in New Mexico which i did .
I'm delighted to hear BJ Thomas's cousin he was a great guy and I sure do miss him The compassion of love and empathy is the one that gave me a start he told me I had talent is the one encouraged me thing to write music give me an opportunity help me a lot country music industry he helped me acquire that's how I became singer songwriter and drummer the wildfire band
Siempre he sido admirador de su talento, su voz, carisma y personalidad. Lo sigo desde principios de los años 70. Hace muchos años, a principios de los 90, tuvimos ocasión de visitar Las Vegas. Fuimos a un show en el casino Riviera, creo era "Splash". Nunca, nunca me enteré que en ese casino hacía temporada de presentaciones B.J.Thomas. Me perdí de ver a uno de mis ídolos musicales y lo lamento. Saludos de México.
Rest in peace BJ Thomas thank you for all your beautiful music will never forget you and your beautiful voice can we meet in heaven prayers to your family and Friends spring 2021!
I'm 72, and have ALWAYS loved BJ's music. ALWAYS. He will be sadly missed. He's singing in the heavenly choir, giving GOD the enjoyment did while he was with us here. Rest in peace, BJ. God bless his family.
So sorry to hear of BJ Thomas passing. I always enjoyed his music he was a talented singer. I will pray for his wife & family. I'm glad to know he had given his heart to Jesus. We will see him one day. God Bless his wife with comfort.
Heaven is being treated to his wonderful voice. His testament to the love of his wife shines in all of his love songs. He did it his way without using ugly language. RIP BJ. I know his wife is missing him.
I’m 53 and can never remember a time in my life when I wasn’t a fan of BJ Thomas and his music. Thank you for a lifetime of great music and memories, BJ. God Bless you, rest in eternal peace! 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I started singing with engelbert when I was in school. I got saved at seventeen and was introduced to bj's music. I became addicted to his voice and style of music and have been singing his songs ever since, in fact last Sunday I sung one of his songs in church. 😂Will keep on singing his songs until we meet in the clouds. Bless his soul. I am now going to 63 years of age.
We were fortunate enough to see Mr. Thomas a couple times at a small Opry House. We were about 30 ft from him and could see all the effort and feelings he put into each song. He also talked about his early years traveling with a lot of the other big stars and how he got messed up with booze and drugs and how his family caused him to get his life straight. Not many dry eyes in the house until he got back to the music. It was one of the best concerts we've ever seen. Another time he came to town he was sick and apologized up front if he didn't sound right but he didn't disappoint - he was just as awesome! They'll never be another BJ Thomas!!
@@wendydebois1685 May the Lord our God, your God bless you and make his Face Shine upon you for he is the ALMIGHTY who is Mighty in Word and deed and will keep us because he is true unto his name that is above all names that ever lived my sister in Christ. He is so good that in these last days he promised to Save those who could but call on his name Jesus our Christ the Christ King of the Jews and the gentile nations. Let us pray and all pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Look up from whence cometh our help and redemption for in an twinkling of an eye at the last Trump he shall appear in the Glory of his Father to take his rightful place after taking the CHURCH up and out of arms way . 👍 Keep me in your prayers for the banner I give is the Word of the Almighty God and Father who is ever Faithful and Just to deliver us from the evil one. Love you because he first LOVED me a sinner SAVED by the Grace of God through faith for I lift up not my name but the name of the Lord who is GOD even God the LORD . All these things I speak are by his Spirit after the inward man for I bear the wounds and am broken and contrite before him and because of this I like those that went before me are not despised in his sight but have attained favor and have the high honor of preaching the truth . John 3:16 Exodus 6:3 John 8:56 and Revelation 21:22. And he have lost no not one that comes to him nor shall he cast one out of his sight like the known churches have done to me for giving them his words allow them to repent Oh Father in heaven Forgive them Oh Lord for they have yet to compel me to return as per written by your Word the Holy Bible. 👍
@@williamiannucci2740 amen. I've been rejected to by so many. Family and friends. And our wonderful government.. you work all you live give them 25 years of service. As a civil service and when you have to retire. And they leave you flat on your face. BUT I Love my God and I know he's always at My side. And always will be there for me.
@@Steven-rw5cg Protect your heart son trust only Jesus our Christ and don't cast your pearls before swine in otherwords if people don't want to hear your testamony then don't go on trying to convince them. Take it from me . 👍 And let us Look up from where our help will come.
You are already dearly missed, BJ Thomas. The first time I met you was right across the street from where I live, so every time I look out my front window, I see the exact place of when we first talked, and I smile. Heard you in concert 3 other times after that with my husband, and 2 of those 3 times we also met you. The last time we were able to visit with you in your trailer at the Ulster County Fair. My husband still can't get over how gracious you were, but this is something I always knew about you. We both love you, and we pray for your soul and for your family and fans. Rest in peace, BJ.
He was definitely one of the best male vocalist around during the latter part of the 20th century. I'm glad all of his songs were recorded for all to enjoy! The lady that helped he and his wife adopt the Korean daughter, also helped my parent's adopt a Korean girl back in the 70's. Her name was Nora Lam and she helped a lot of families adopt Korean children.
How sad to lose such a classic individual. His music will forever resonate in my mind and heart! RIP BJ Thomas ! Thank you for your your soul and sharing your greatness!!😪💙🙏🙏
Thank you for the beautiful music you shared with us BJ; the Lord needs you in heavens choir more than ever now. Say “hey” to my dad, my brother and my Yorkie , Chuckie, also to my best friend Sam - I miss them every day. RIP 😔👏!
So much loss we have all had. Tonight my thoughts and love and prayers are with you guys, we will find out when we get there. Maybe my Dad and my big brother and my cat Doug and your family and lost pets all know each other and will be so happy to see us. I am not sure I want to keep going, but my Dad and brother would never accept me NOT fighting to stay here for my kids and grandkids.
B. J. Thomas, you will be sorely missed. Your flawless voice, and one of a kind sound will never be forgotten. The songs that mean the most to me are the gospel songs! They got me thru many a dark and hopeless night! I LOVE those songs! Thank you B.J.!!!!! for your service to God and to us! The Mighty Clouds of Joy are rolling in! 😥
I am a huge fan of B. J and my sincerest condolences go out to his wife of 53 years, his daughters and grandchildren. My husband and I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert at the Majestic theater in San Antonio many years ago. It was an unforgettable experience. There will never be another voice like that of B. J. Thomas. God bless you all and comfort you during your time of grief.
He was older, but I loved him, ever since I was a child. It was so sad, and broke my heart into, when he passed away. His Legacy will live on forever. Thank You, for posting these wonderful songs, I couldn’t help, but wipe some tears, but that’s how it really is, when we lose the the greatest Artist, that were so much a part of our life, especially since we were children. I always thought he was so good looking, and he’s one I will never forget.
@@wynnwittmer3883 another great one also Most of all. 1984 I was working at a tractor pull, in Mt. Vernon, Wa. He was performing there. I got to spend bout 20 mins. with him, Not only a great voice but a great man.
Ahhhh I have always loved your music. You bring back the good ole days when I was a young daddy’s girl. I memorize all the words and would bellow them out. You got my attention may The Lord meet you at the gates of Heaven. Good man. Another good ole guy gone. Prayers for your loving wife and children. RIP BJ
I love you brother! Enjoy Jesus now face to face! I can't wait till I see Him and look into those eyes of love, where love shines out like sunlight from the skies!❤❤❤
Hey B.J. ! won't you say hello to Karen Carpenter for us - your voice along with Karen's were the best gifts given to humanity here on Earth. Happy harmonies with Karen and the angels. Thanks for the music!
Thank you Billy Joe for all the wonderful music that I grew up with...and always LOVED- he doesnt do a bad song or ever sing out of perfect pitch ever!
He was really a nice down-to-earth guy. I was going to college in the mid to late ‘70’s in Nashville, TN. I was working in a hotel on Music Row and he was staying there-and his wife Gloria-while he was recording some music. So I had the opportunity to see and talk to him. It was not long after he had been in some trouble but also around the time he was getting his life straightened out. He was kind a gentleman to everyone. Some didn’t like his wife very much although I had no problems with her. Paige was just a little girl. Looking back I could see that Gloria was really just trying to look out for him-which I kind of suspected even at the time.
seemed like a nice, quiet spoken humble type of guy..never met him...just an observation going by his interviews/ interactions with others on video.RIP
What a great story. '78 there about is when he and Gloria found salvation. He had so many close calls and actually was dead on a plane and was revived. I'm sure Gloria was extra protective early on. He literally got off drugs with God's help and had no withdrawals. He had been thru withdrawals plenty before and was dreading what he knew was coming.. God spared him the pain. Home Where I Belong is the book that he and Gloria wrote. It is jaw dropping..he was up to 500 pills a day! Loved him so he put on awesome concert performances. I feel so sad for Gloria, his 3 daughters and his grandkids!
Wow !! When I Heard That You Have Passed My Heart Was Broken 💔 . But B. J. Thomas You're Music Will Always Live On And You Will Always Be In My Heart And Soul Amen 🙏 . Your Music Is In My Soul And Heart For Eternity. My Beloved Friend Rest In Peace . Love You B.J .
He still had the quality of voice, that richness, was still beautiful. I remember seeing him in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and that raindrops song all over the radio all the time. I remember when I became a Christian and then later he did and his were some of the first Christian albums I bought. He kept his faith, kept his wife, kept his voice. Now he's singing with the angels and he is truly a Happy Man.
A MOR Crooner? A Country Balladeer? A Gospel singer? An Easy Listening artist? A Soft Rocker? I just call it B.J Thomas music! Thanks for the impeccable songs and albums BJ and May You Rest In Heavenly Peace. Heaven has gained one helluva singer!
Thank you & your wife who wrote the song, Broken Toys. It was a balm for my childhood. I met you several years ago and told you how much it meant to me. Sing with the Angels now. You are missed!!
Such a great loss. Losing a great and talented Man with a magical voice will be missed. Mr. Thomas may have earned his wings earlier then most but he did leave us his music and so many memories of the person that sang those beautiful songs. You were Loved and will be Greatly Missed. Rest in Eternal Peace. My Condolences to his Lovely Wife Gloria and his Children as well. I too have lost a special sister to stage four cancer and it's a loss that takes time to heal. My Thoughts and Prayers for All who have experienced this painful loss. God Bless You All. 🙏🏻
Listening to this compilation takes me back to my early childhood. Listening to his music while mom was driving. Thank you mom for introducing us to music that we can appreciate now. Rest in eternal peace and may the raindrops continue to fall where you're at now. ❤
Totally shocked and saddened at the passing of the Wonderful B.J. Thomas. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife and family. The spirit of B.J. Thomas lives on in his beautiful music and in his awesomely distinctive singing voice. For that I am grateful. Thank you for this touching memorial video in honor of one of my favorite singers of all time. RIP B.J. Thomas.
RIP You gave us so many beautiful songs❤️❤️❤️ God be with your family 🙏 Praying for them and you’re beautiful grand babies ❤️🙏❤️ See you in Heaven one day and we will get to hear your beautiful songs😢
What a beautiful voice. I remember when I met him in Houston at a New Years Eve Party. He just rocked the house with his charm and beautiful music. I even got his autograph. He was so kind and gracious. Rest In Peace BJ Thomas. You are so missed. ❤❤❤
Mr BJ THOMAS SIR you might be gone now but sir you left us something that we can enjoy till we are gone. Artist & music like this is such a blessing to the world especially during times like we are in now. If you happen to come across George Jones Tell him we miss him also.
We Rejoice in the Memories of the Beautiful songs BJ Thomas left behind for us to sing! He is Walking with his Savior Now in Heaven without any pain! We Thank You, B J Thomas and send Condolences to your Family...till they see you in Heaven some day!✝️❤❤🤗😁🙏🙏💜💜💜💜
BJs Gospel songs/albums have this extra spark and spirit because it's coming from his heart. Sure, he was a flawless Country Pop/ Easy Listening performer too but man, those Gospel songs oh his, like Jesus On My Mind and Love Has Arrived soared just that bit higher. Thank you for your impeccable music BJ Thomas and may you rest in heavenly peace. Heaven has gained one helluva singer!
I don’t know when he died but I just found out and I am crying!! I loved his voice and his music 🎼 and there will never be another BJ Thomas and his music!!💕❤️💕
Music that make us dream in adolescent life, brings me really sentiments! I was 15 y/o 1972. Rest in Peace B. J. Thomas my beginner to see life with dreams and love!! 💘💘💘💘💘😭
B.J.Thomas was one of the classiest most stylish performers America has ever produced. Truly the equal of Elvis Presley in vocal capabilities and his range in songs was just as diverse as that of Elvis Presley.
I just found this!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I just LOVED it!! Lots of B.J. singing in a row through the years! I hope you will put together another one with other songs. Thank you so much for making this so that we longtime B.J. fans could enjoy it! B.J. had the most awesome voice! The Lord blessed him with an awesome voice and now he is singing with the Lord!
