Well, at least he lived to a ripe old age, unlike so many others from the late 60s and early 70s (Hendrix, Joplin, etc.) who died young after OD'ing on drugs, or something stupid like that...SMH 🙄
Take you, I loved B J Thomas, his looks and sound, gospels to. Hooked on a feeling came out in 1968; they played it at a carnival that my dad took myself and 2 sisters 3 days after our mother died at age 39, I was 12.
B.J. Thomas had such a great singing voice and tremendous natural talent and showmanship. It's a shame lung cancer and smoking took him from us. RIP you are siging in Heaven now.
He sure was a hottie back in his glory days. Thank you for your music and believing in Jesus. I know you in Heaven right now, having the time of your life!!
Sorry, I disagree... I like the other version better.. it's the uga chaka, uga chaka, and his voice is deeper, just sounds different not necessarily better.
My wife of 50 years and I saw him perform this and many of his other hits at Six Flags Over Texas one lovely Friday night in the summer of 1974 (or maybe 1975).
I remember growing up listening to your music . Raindrops keep falling on my head, was a big hit in my younger years. That was a long time ago. I miss those times, life was more laid back. The 70's were great.
This song is so beautiful of two people who absolutely love and feel for each other, I know what this means because I’m in love with my beautiful woman for over 50 years and our love just keeps getting stronger oooohyeah👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
I was living in New England when this wonderful song was being played on the radio. I was falling in love, and this music was the soundtrack to my feelings. Thank you, Mr. Thomas.
Only saw this by accident the other day “Hooked on a Feeling “. I love it so, I looked BJ up on YT , only to discover he has passed away. How sad. I saw his final post to FB and was immediately aware that he was a beautiful man, such a sweet soul. I send condolences to his wife and family, which I understand included all his fans. He must be greatly missed x
I think I was nine years old the summer this came out. My strongest memories were of times I would be at the swimming pool where they would play this and other songs of the day, but this is the one that stands out!!! ❤ 😊
Amen amen praise the Lord. Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Psalm 25:6 Let us thank the Lord for His tender mercies. He looks beyond our faults, forgives us, and restores us. He preserves in our times of distress. He picks us up and showers us with love that we do not deserve. “I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever.” Have a mercy-filled God Morning!
B.J. Thomas' version (this version) is the version that I like best. It's also the one I usually heard growing up. This version flows more smoothly (vocals & instrumentals) than other version.
I loved so many of B. J. Thomas's songs. I think I played the 45 rpm of this record to death. I loved his special way of touching you with his voice. I still cry through "Raindrops Are Fallin' On My Head, and I'm 72 now. A lifetime of listening to B. J. sing. He's singing with the Angels now. I dedicate his music to my mother who died June 8, 2012. I'm writing this on June 8, 2024. Rest in peace Mom and B. J. Thomas.
I dropped more than one quarter on this song growin up. Eatin wing dings n fries with my mom n granny at the clearview tavern 4th st mon city. That was 50 yrs ago. I thank God i can at least still remember
atrapado a un sentimiento vaya manera y sentimento de cntar y ejecutar ese solo de guitarra y requinto toda una delicia para escuchar tienen que volver esos tiempos y crear verdadera music para hacer generaciones mas dignas y recuerdos memorables con verdadera musica no la basura que hay de moda para el drenaje
Another smash written by Mark James ('Suspicious Minds'). B.J.'s was the biggest hit until Blue Swede altered the lyrics a bit and added the obnoxious 'ooga chaka' intro and took the song to #1 in 1974. BB Hot 100 #5, Cash Box #5, Canada #3, Australia #35, Canada #3, New Zealand #10.
I play bass in a cover band, and we are going to do this song, but my bandmates want to do the Ooga chaka version.. ugh. But I had to agree, more people are familiar with that version, especially the younger ones. But for me, it will always be BJ Thomas
MR. B.J. THOMAS DIED TODAY OF LUNG CANCER AT AGE 78. I ENJOYED YOUR MUSICAL GIFTS FOR YEARS. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT VIBES.
Iba a investigar su bigrafy hasta que vi tu comentario una pena su partida
😢

Still listening to BJ Thomas today! He had one of the most beautiful voices!
This version of this song is better than Blue Swede version . Hit a thumb up if you agree with me ?.
Light years better.
Sorry, I disagree... I like the other version better.. it's the uga chaka, uga chaka, and his voice is deeper, just sounds different not necessarily better.
I hate the Blue Swede version.👎

I like them both equally.
B.J. was a remarkable singer, fan for over 50 years, now resting in peace
Heaven received the voice of an angel.

Magnificent song. Wonderful voice. Will listen forever.

Thank you for the music!
The only version of this song worth listening to. I had to scroll through 3 pages of band called blue leather to get to the original.
Another smash written by Mark James ('Suspicious Minds'). B.J.'s was the biggest hit until Blue Swede altered the lyrics a bit and added the obnoxious 'ooga chaka' intro and took the song to #1 in 1974. BB Hot 100 #5, Cash Box #5, Canada #3, Australia #35, Canada #3, New Zealand #10.

Inte.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@bttmdweller both are really good but the Blue Swede version is definetely the more catchy version
Beautiful
Time for a well deserved rest, buddy. You will not be forgotten.
