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.🎈🎈🎈
I wouldn't dare disagree with you because BJ truly was a once in a generation talent; however, I would hasten to add: Keith Whitley was right up there with him.
BJ is my second cousin. He and my dad were 1st cousins. He is a legend and will be missed. Sadly my dad died in February too. There is a joyful reunion in heaven today. And the angel choir just got a new member. RIP BJ you left one hell of a legacy on this earth.
Big Ben's....I know you will miss him...we all miss our kinfolks, esp. as we get older. I can imagine the music in heaven..You and your family will be in my prayers...
His voice and this song makes the room hush. No one sounds like BJ and no one ever will. Thank you for your music, Mr. Thomas. It will be enjoyed forever.
A voice like that is truly a gift from God - very very few humans who have walked this planet Earth can sing like BJ did - and yet he made it look so easy - RIP my dear friend.
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.
B.J. Thomas kissed me on my right cheek when I heard him sing in Toronto. His prayer request was to have a hit song. 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!
I had the honor of having my band open for Mr. Thomas a couple years ago in Denver at Herman's Hideaway. His voice is as powerful as ever and his band was amazing. A consummate professional and gentleman.
I've been thinking about this song A lot during the past few days. Imagine, to my surprise, I heard BJ passed away Saturday due to complications from lung cancer at his home in Arlington Texas, saturday, May 23rd, 2021. . Now, let those raindrops fall on your head and rest in peace BJ Thomas. Thank you for all your music you presented us with! May your journey be blessed.
I've listened to all the legends who have sang this song. Today I was thinking about my son who who died. In my humble opinion B.J does it best. I got a few years in my eyes today for you,. RIP my man.
BJ when I heard you sing this song as always I get goose bumps it's like you were personally singing this song to me about you. GOD BLESS YOU B.J. R.I.P. 🌹 💐
BJ Thomas is a song stylist who’ve I’ve loved since I was just a teenager. Now at 62 I can honestly say that he remains one of my favorite all time singers!
The Way B.J. Sang this Song is Flawless,Perfection At Finest Level,Probably The Most Perfect Tune Ever Song,it's Flawless,Perfect Pitch & Yet Song With Style & Finesse, R.i.P. Mr.B.J. Thomas ✝️📖🙏🇺🇸🎙🎧🎤 .
My husband, Jesse, was a big Hank Williams fan but he loved B.J.'s version of this song. Jesse passed away three months ago and I just needed to listen to this old favorite again.
B. J. Thomas has a voice that's so wonderful--and it's just effortless, for him to sing this song. He does such a great job with it--even better watching him perform it live!😊💒
Imagine covering a Hank Williams song! Talk about intimidating. Actually, I think Hank would be so proud. I hope the two are reunited and comparing notes on this gorgeous timeless, classic song that will never grow old, no matter which version you love. Rest In Peace Hank and BJ
B. J. Thomas put more emotion into this song's three minutes than Taylor Swift or any of the other singers of today have ever had, or will ever have. He has one of the best voices EVER--love it!💝😢
@@content3920 As it seems, that's what liberalism does. It causes angst and you start bashing other people because they don't think exactly like you do. Do you know what I mean? I'm not blaming you so don't read me wrong. I agree with all you are saying. I'm just explaining why people are the way they are. If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. That's what liberalism does to you, then you can't be happy because nobody can fix everything, so you get angry and bash and blame all who don't believe like you. Avoid liberalism because Conservatism works!
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.
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!
I love how he touched and captivated the audience (who look like his peers)...probably the best version of the song I've ever heard. I particularly like the ending where he gives up that kind of choppy yodel switchover that he throughout the song but he never needed. I'm glad to see BJ Thomas going up in popularity again...he's underrated!
Love when musicians put their heart into their music. You feel it in their voice and see it in their face. Only a few have this gift and many including BJ have passed. Love the legends gone too soon ❤️
He's STILL one of the greatest artists singing... he could teach some of these "new" so called singers a thing or two.... I can listen to B.J. Thomas for hours on end...
Oh how I love BJ Thomas and so Lonesome I could cry! I am there right now! My husband passed 7 years ago, moved to be near my daughter, but she has her own life! Not many friends here! I love this!
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!!
Wow, I absolutely love BJ singing,I absolutely love ❤️ his singing ❤, I repeated that twice,Because I meant it,Seems like he is right in the room with us!, Sing and I’m so Lonesome I could cry!! R.I.P B.J.Thomas!!❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When B.J. Tomas passed away I just had to listen to this song. The world lost such a wonderful talent. I have always cried to this song and when B.J. passed I criex
I Think that Mr. B.J. Thomas, Sang This Song in Perfect Timing and Perfect Harmonie,No One Ever Sang This,This Good it was Awesome and Perfect,God Bless America !!!
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.
Wow! Hank Williams didn't know this about his legacy but this is the artist that he left this incredible song for to sing it with haunting Justice. Amen!
Rest in Peace Billy Jo. You have no idea how your words, melody and voice could cause people to forget the troubles of this world and be in heaven 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
I had the pleasure of working with BJ for a few weeks in Valley Forge. He was the star and I was but a dancer in the line. He was one of the kindest human beings I ever met.
@@NeacsuMarius 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. ruclips.net/video/Jhzyyragwtg/видео.html
My most favorite singer.❤️😇WE will miss him but his treasures remain in our hearts.I send this to all to keep your LOVE close to your heart.It the Best we can do is keep Love alive.2022.
Incredible, individual intonation and style...unique and very special...and Hank's song has never been performed by any one better than this American Treasure...
John, Google is your friend. HOMETOWN = the town where one was born or grew up, or the town of one's present fixed residence. B J Thomas has lived in Arlington, TX for DECADES. And he was born in Hugo, OK..... So, he has at least 3 different "hometowns"
You're right, I stand corrected. In my mind, he had "grown up" and went to HS in Rosenberg, TX, and I'm from Houston so I was proud of that. I should have been more specific and diplomatic. Thanks for your polite rejoinder. Going to see him in Stafford, TX (Houston) on May 4. He can't do this forever.
Yes oh yes the song itself is one of the best ever written and when you add one of the best singers ever. We the listening public appreciate the work of writing, recording studio fine tuning etc.
This guy doesn't need a bunch of musical instruments to back him, he is the total package of the musicial industry
👍
Now singing with the Angels. 💖
Exactly 💯
Yes that's right
Great voice

Hello patty how are you doing!!
I wouldn't dare disagree with you because BJ truly was a once in a generation talent; however, I would hasten to add: Keith Whitley was right up there with him.
About the only country artist who is literally pitch perfect. It takes talent and practice to sing that pitch perfect.
I was so glad I saw him in concert a few years back. Always been a fan ❤
BJ was great. what he did on rock and roll lullabye was unreal.
BJ is my second cousin. He and my dad were 1st cousins. He is a legend and will be missed. Sadly my dad died in February too. There is a joyful reunion in heaven today. And the angel choir just got a new member. RIP BJ you left one hell of a legacy on this earth.
Sorry for your loss,,may you have many angels to help you heal and your family
@@pamelacole9897 thanks for the kind words Pamela. 🙏
Such a kind man. I read once, Elvis used to have BJ Sing at Graceland. What an honor

Yes and the room hush in a room full of great singers!!
He sounds just as wonderful as he did decades ago👏👏👏
His version of this song speaks to my soul, he sings so effortlessly. What a great singer. Rip peace BJ

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.
My boyfriend was in Vietnam in 1968. I danced to this song night after night with his little brother. We both missed him so much.
BJ's version of this Hank Williams' classic made it one of my favorite songs.
I'm just heartbroken, to hear that B. J. Thomas has passed away--another great singer, gone. May he rest in peace.😢
B.J. Thomas kissed me on my right cheek when I heard him sing in Toronto. His prayer request was to have a hit song. 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!
Hi
Geeze I neverr would have washed my face again - and I'm a straight male............!
What memories this brings me ❤
BJ Thomas made this song the classic it became. Nobody else like BJ ..He is so unique and truly a legend..
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
His songs are so inspiring and heart touching
he legacy live forever
how are you doing and happy sunday
I had the honor of having my band open for Mr. Thomas a couple years ago in Denver at Herman's Hideaway. His voice is as powerful as ever and his band was amazing. A consummate professional and gentleman.
I heard this version for the first time in a long time on a local station NY. The DJ was right,it puts tears in one eyes!
Even his peers were in awe of his performances!
His peers thoroughly enjoyed this
His voice is timeless!!! Most singers totally lose their range by this time in their lives....not BJ...
What a talent!!! Once in a lifetime!!!
I've been thinking about this song A lot during the past few days. Imagine, to my surprise, I heard BJ passed away Saturday due to complications from lung cancer at his home in Arlington Texas, saturday, May 23rd, 2021. . Now, let those raindrops fall on your head and rest in peace BJ Thomas. Thank you for all your music you presented us with! May your journey be blessed.
Beautiful words!
Almost a year ago, and never heard it! Are you sure?
The day after my 61st birthday. Broke my heart to hear he had passed. 💔🥺
Hello cat how are you doing!!
Hi how are you doing pretty?
I've listened to all the legends who have sang this song. Today I was thinking about my son who who died. In my humble opinion B.J does it best.

Such a clear voice. And he sings so effortlessly.
+MusicDude86 Exactly. He makes it look so easy. His voice is one of a kind.
MusicDude86 Such depth and feeling he puts in songs! I’m not in music but my ears say he is top. Sorry, but I love his singing way more than Elvis.
He and Aaron Neville have the most unique voices I have ever heard.
So unique
B.J. - Greatest version of this
Hank Williams Sr. - Classic ;

Without a doubt this is my favorite version of what I consider to be Hank Williams greatest song. BJ Thomas’ rendition is definitive!
Only 2 men with voices as good now as the 60's, BJ Thomas & Rod Stewart, both still excellent singers
his voice is still AWESOME, usually the cords dry up when you get older
its amazing
We will miss you, dear friend. You have given the world of your talent, and we have gracefully accepted it. Thank you, Prince of Song.
What a voice BJ had, He will be forever missed!!
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.
+ T.H. Yes! I agree! Can't find talent like B.J. Thomas anymore or even a voice like his!
Just Plain Ole Tommy SPECIAL
I agree--a one-of-a-kind voice, singer, and a God-given talent!
I hear him on the Radio & I know it's him. Love to hear BJ Thomas
well said
Got to be one of the best singers I ever heard. His is unique to say the least.
Never Have a Singer Like B J Thomas Again
Wow! Hank Williams didn't know this about his legacy but this is the artist that he left this incredible song for to sing it with haunting Justice. Amen!
BJ had so much admiration for his music over the years, as he put "SO" much feeling into his songs - This one "Tops It". Thank you BJ.
Rip BJ , another legend has passed.
I cried when you left... RIP Mr bj Thomas..
Having grown up listening primarily to rock, BJ is one singer I could listen to All day...
BJ & Elvis were friends and also big fans of each other's music.
He made this sing his own. He sangged the hell out of it. RIP B J

If you don't get goose bumps on this one you are not human.
You're not lonesome anymore, B. J. Thanks for all the wonderful tunes.😢
R.I.P. Mr Thomas. Ive truly enjoyed this mans music for years,
another great voice is silenced......
Dang nobody can sing like this really nobody look at him sing. He was a angel all ready look at him. Amazing
B J Thomas sings with as much passion as anyone I have ever heard. The first time I heard him was 47 years ago and he hasn't missed a step.

@@NeacsuMarius
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.

There are great singers and then there are gifted singers. BJ is in the second category.
The Greatest Singer Ever In My Opinion, He Puts such Emotion Into It
Amazing. As good as ever. Very rare to sound as good or better 40+ years later.
Brought back so many memories....and a lot of tears. Thanks Bros-Hamlet for posting this classic.
Incredible, individual intonation and style...unique and very special...and Hank's song has never been performed by any one better than this American Treasure...
................all of the Old-Timers just sitting there Mesmerized, asB.J. Thomas---Beautifully, and Effortlessly coasts through this song.
ACHPKP YES! I AGREE. ONE OF HIS GREATEST SONGS EVER!
This is astonishing. I have not heard ANYTHING from BJ Thomas since the 70's. He sounds better than ever! Thanks for this marvelous post. Dave
I think now he sings the way he wants should have the whole time
Ghes one of a kind ,yes he is blessed
God had a beautiful angel in heaven right now with his voice ❤️
Hello Veronica how are you doing!!
Best version of that song ever. Hank would be proud of Billy Joe Thomas!
This is the country music I love. BJ Thomas sounds great..
A king amongst princes in the music world
There was nothing he couldn't sing
The likes of which we'll never see/hear again
When BJ sings This Song It Makes Me Cry, He Can Sing Anything, A Brilliant, Fantastic Wonderful Talent Gone Too Soon
What a voice. You've got to give it to him, he still sounds great after all these years.
I had forgotten how I love BJ Thomas's voice.
He put on a good show last month in his hometown of Arlington, Texas.

Arlington, TX is not his home town - Rosenberg, TX is.

Outstanding! I'm 53 and remember his tunes when I was a boy in the 60's...Great then...Great NOW!
