British guitarist analyses the dulcet tones of B.J. Thomas live in 2002 

Phil have you seen Sturgill Simpson "Never go to town again" live Sunday Valley pickathon. I'd love to hear what you think of Sturgill

You MUST listen to POLYPHIA-G.O.A.T. YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY!!💯💥💯🤯

Could you do analysis of Frank Zappa and Samantha Fish

Thank you. I recorded that when my first daughter was born and still have the tape of that performance and VCR but, hadn’t listened to it. Now she’s 20 and on her own. He was definitely great.

Has to be one of the greai -east singers of any era!

maybe add some nice anecdotes :)

💜

Brittany, many thanks for sharing your story about your Dad. I am a drummer, since I was 15 years old. I have a great story to share with you. I was a Sheriff for 28 years. One day on patrol, I received a complaint on my beat about a loud band. When I arrived at the house in question, I was met with a 5 member band, who were playing all the old classics. The band had this excellent girl singer. The age of the band members ranged around 16 to 18 years of age. I don’t know how this happened, but I asked the girl singer if I could sit in on a few songs. All of them were blown away and the first song we played was Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones. Before I knew it, there were about 25 kids watching us play. The guy who had complained about the loud music, went ballistic on me when he saw me playing with the band. It was one of the highlights of my Police career. 👍👍👍👍

So sorry for your loss. I loved B.J.Thomas.❤😥

Cool! Just plain cool to have had that familial connection.

😭👍

Saw him live in 65 on the Gene Pitney show with The McCoys Chad and Jeremy Norma tanega and he was a amazing he sang Billy and Sue which was his first fit on hickory records and then I'm so lonesome I could cry almost as good as Hank Williams

@@donaldshaw2627 yes I loved that one!

He was a class act and the real deal. RIP, BJ.💜He brought joy to so many people with that incredible voice.

BJ, many thanks for sharing your beautiful music with all of us. Your music and legacy will live on forever in history. Rest In Peace 🌹🌹🌹

50 albums I think!

Yes, but Arlington claims him as one of our own.

@@amyk9175, you are correct about Arlington claiming B.J. as one of its own. Not sure when he moved there after being born in Hugo, Oklahoma, then the family moved to Houston (where B.J. was raised and went to high school), and lastly, he and his wife lived in Arlington where he passed away. Hope this clears things up for you.

@@carmellaallegretto-baker711 I wasn’t doubting his ties to Houston and Oklahoma. I’ve lived in Arlington all my life and know those around here refer to him as “Arlington’s own.”

@@amyk9175, I see. Thanks for responding. Also, can you tell me when he moved to Arlington? I've never actually heard when he moved there. Would love to know. Plus, did you ever attend any of his concerts?

@@carmellaallegretto-baker711 I have investigated and can’t pin down when he moved to Arlington. My best guess would be in the 70s or 80s. I know he was here by the 90s. He played a fundraising concert for Levitt Pavilion several years ago and I regret passing on that opportunity. I never heard him live but his music (from Raindrops to Theme from Growing Pains) has been ubiquitous throughout my life.

@@timothybowers8608 Damn Tim, how blessed you were. There are a handful of artists whose voices touch my very soul and spirit. Karen Carpenter is at the forefront, and David Gates, BJ and others are on the same platform. I have to special songs by BJ that always choke me up," Rock n Roll Lullaby"and "Most of All," a wonderful if somewhat unappreciated song.

EXCELLENT POINT!

I agree! Engelbert had that quality as well. I love both!

this just shows wht I believed since 1972 He has the greatest male voice ever and Karen Carpenter female. He was performing at a tractor pull in Mt. Vernon Wa. 1984. I had the honer of talking to him for 20 minutes

Lost a short battle with lung cancer and passed away last Saturday. 😢

Remember those songs coming out of the stereo in my car! 📻🎶🎶

I knew he passed but I didn't get emotional until seeing this. It didn't seem real until listening to him sing.

@@ronileigh9336 Same here! That's when all his songs came pouring back into some fond memories!

He died about a week and half ago of lung cancer

I didn't know he passed either I grew up with the songs my how time passes by thanks BJ Thomas

Debra Virden, you hit the nail on the head. This is exactly the kind of emotion BJ Thomas voice creates. It gets us hooked on a feeling huh !!!! Oh yessss. Legendary vocalist.

Yes his voice is ubiquitous it was every where.

Yes, thank you Phil!

Hi Mark! I will have to look that one up! In this video I thought BJ was doing kind of an Elvis thing with his feet, too!

@@lynndow3185 Hello Lynn

Most of all and I just can't help believing are my favorite.

That was a great song!!

I loved his Christian albums

@@philmoore71 A good man.

🙌

I can't wait to meet him, in Glory, in the Eternal state. He will always be my favorite singer. Our time spent here on earth is short, Eternal life is forever, choose Life, except God's free gift of Salvation..

He wrote a great book about his experience.

BTW, Dulce is Spanish for sweet.

Oh, I wish I could have seen that. I bet it was great.

I didn't think BJ sang falsetto that sounds like Brian or Carl Wilson of the Beachboys

i was wondering his age - tks

Thanks!

He's here somewhere!
