He owns one of the most distinctive voices in American pop music and nothing about the identifiable sound of B.J. THOMAS’ voice has changed. Many of B.J.’s signature hits—the Oscar-winning Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head, the million-selling (Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song and his career-igniting cover of Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry have endured over time.
After his initial successes on a small Southern label, B.J. signed with New York’s Scepter, where the roster also included Ronnie Milsap and Dionne Warwick. In fact, it was Warwick who introduced B.J. to songwriter-producer Burt Bacharach, leading to his performance of Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head for Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. The song has shown an amazing resilience—it was featured in Forrest Gump and it made the soundtracks for Clerks II, The In-Laws and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle; and it appeared almost in its entirety during Spider-Man 2.
