B.J. THOMAS - ROCK AND ROLL LULLABY

B.J. Thomas performing "Rock And Roll Lullaby"

[@sheenque]

This is a dear song. I was 16 when my daughter was born, & though I was married to her father, I often felt like I raised her & her brother alone. I had an oak rocker,& I rocked my babies and sang rock songs as their lullabies. I usually cry when I hear this, because I think of how I we grew together. I learned a lot, and some of it wasn't fun to learn. It was both a blessing and a hardship, but they've grown into wonderful people, who rock their own children and sing rock n roll songs.

[@wendellrobertson6491]

Sheena, 12 years later . . . I grew up with this song also, but my story starts now. My wife has dementia, it started in her 40s. She lost her speech and now chatters in a language of her own. One thing she says is: "Sha na na na na na," and I sing this song. She smiles a beautiful smile.

Boy, do I remember him, his songs put the 70's in line with us now. He brings back so many beautiful memories.

Wanted to hear this after hearing of his passing today. Sang this to my kids!

One of the greatest yet saddest songs ever written...sung by the incomparable BJ Thomas...what a voice! What a song!

[@mitchgawlik1175]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@kayem11]

I'm in my mid-fifties now but this song sounds as fresh as when I first heard it as a teenager in the 1970s and will probably be the same when I turn 100 and beyond!! If only today's music was also made to to touch the heart and soul and last forever!! Long live Billy J Thomas!

[@CLKamin]

Beautiful words put together with beautiful music. B.J. Thomas made it all come together.

[@glennmckeown4353]

He makes me cry, just listening to his Voice!B.J.Thomas, We will always miss you and your music is always on my mind!

[@TPOTTS]

My Mom was 17 when she had me and Dad was in the military. Always think of her when I hear it. I have sang it as bedtime songs to my children and grandchildren. Thanks for posting.

[@nanoo2462]

I was a teenage mother and this song has always been a big part of my life. BJ has had a big influence on my life, the best was when I got to meet him in person and get a hug in his trailer, I was in heaven. Thank you BJ for all the great memories.

[@philiptucci2458]

Beautiful piece of music from B.J., one of the greatest singers of all time, now resting in peace

[@debpoepping1803]

RIP, BJ. You will be greatly missed, but your music will live on. I was so lucky to have seen B.J in 2018 in St. Cloud Minn. Still had a awesome voice and still very handsome man

Such a beautiful song, and such an amazing voice. RIP, B.J. - and thank you for the music!

[@blueyedKSGirl]

When I saw him in concert in NJ a few weeks back, the audience usually sings along but this time just BJ was singing. Smooth as silk. I not only got to visit with my MOM and sister, but also to attend this concert. The trip from KS to NJ was worth it all.

[@lindaduncan6913]

B.J. is one of the best! Was fortunate to see him in concert, in Orlando, way back in the 60's. Great voice and music.

[@Laydio101]

Saw him sing this live last summer in concert and he sings it better than ever! Still has a GREAT voice- sang all his hits!

Love This Song!❤

[@ramona7877]

I am so lucky to have seen him live several times. His voice was so pure

[@dircecandido0]

Que Deus o tenha meu amado B.J. meu ídolo querido, uma pessoa extremamente carismática, digna de muita Admiração e um exemplo, pela história linda de superação que teve na vida... um monstro sagrado da música, dono de uma voz suave e linda.... Rock and Roll Lullaby, é só uma de suas belas canções, os apaixonados dos anos 1970 's, agradecem... mas, foi só uma adorável canção de ninar, e as outras? Escutem! Cinco grammys... Magnânimo, Eterno e Único, infelizmente o mundo está ficando paupérrimo no quesito música. Eu te Amo, daqui até o céu!

[@decior1962]

B.J. Thomas é a alma dos anos 70, e esta canção é a que mais marcou aquela decada. Realmente insuperável.

Simplesmente maravilhoso... Fico emocionada ao ouvir ou apenas pensar nessa música. Amo inúmeras canções, mas essa é a minha preferida desde os três anos quando a ouvi pela primeira vez. Tudo o que já ouvi B. J. Thomas cantar é lindo.

[@canaljuniorboechat7440]

Eu tb me emociono toda vez que ouço,principalmente agora que o B J se foi e eu me dei conta que estou com uma mãe idosa,e fico pensando se ela partir antes de mim,no trabalho que teve para criar a mim e meus irmãos.

[@jennygoodfellow2083]

I love hearing B.J Thomas sing this song & hooked on a feeling are my 2 favorites. I was born in 67 graduated in 85 got pregnant in 86 had my daughter in oct/86 & I wouldn't change it in the world. I sang this song plus hooked on a feeling to her now she is in her 30's & sings these songs to her kids.

[@christluv88]

I sang this to my baby...31 yrs ago. Then I sang it to his baby 15 yrs ago. This is a VERY special song to me and mine!

[@jarodcarnarvon5198]

This song came out just a few years before I was born. I was born in 1976. Wish I had been older and of age when this music came out. My era of music in the late 80s and early 90s isn't nearly as good as this stuff was.... I was raised with my parents listening to him, loved it!!!!

[@RoseClaighen]

He could sing soft and sweet, he could sing raucous and he could sing deep and soulful What a talent No one holds a candle to him

[@patricia51fem]

This is another song that makes me think of long ago. My husband and I started our family a little ahead of schedule while he was going to college on the GI Bill after Vietnam and I was working part-time to make ends meet. My husband would stay with our daughter while I worked and this was one of the songs he used to sing to her that would always calm and sooth her.

[@AtolBoy]

awesome artist, awesome music, this is something that comes from the heart, i'm barely 19 but this is my music ^_^

[@ljgsuper]

since Elvis and Sinatra are no longer alive, this is who you have to put on your bucket list. NOBODY still breathing sings a classic tune better than BJ. Im 60yo and have seen a lot of singers.

Negar a nostalgia, é negar as próprias origens. Assumir a nostalgia, é reconhecer que teve oportunidade de viver os momentos as letras de musicas que realmente expressavam a capacidade de autores e cantores maravilhosos. Sem deixar de citar a época do verdadeiro romantismo.

this song is so brilliantly arranged it should have been a much bigger hit - we saw BJ Thomas at a local fair last year in Betlehem in Connecticut and he is not just blessed and talented but you can tell he is just a real good guy.

I saw BJ in concert around the late 60's or early 70's. Got his autograph and a kiss from BJ. Thrilled me to the moon!!!! He was such a nice guy. Met his sweet brother, as well. A little slow I think, but looked a lot like BJ. I thought it was so cool to have his brother with him. Thanks for reminding me of nice days and pleasant memories.

I was at concert in the mud 80's. Kenny Roger's was headliner. BJ opened, followed by the Gatling Brothers and Kenny. BJ brought back then, as still does, so many memories. Some of these concerts are really emotional.

[@MrMariof1]

wowwwwwwwwwwww i still remember the oldies days back home in our cattle ranch in Brazil dating my first sweetheart and listening to this song. lovely song, thanks B.J Thomas

[@Bleigans]

Many people think that this is a love song about between a couple (man and woman / or/ whatever), but, when I read the lines, I understood. It's a story about a girl who, at her 16's had a baby. And she was alone in the world and didn't know what to do. So, to make her child to sleep, she sang songs of rock'n'roll lullaby. But even so, a very very beautiful song. For sure, it will last forever and ever. All of my congratulations for the author.

[@12reflect]

In that crazy world of TV, via the Mike DouglasTV show, Irene and I really got to know B.J. My wife, Irene, loved him. I respected him and truly appreciated his wonderful talent.. and songs. Last time we saw him we were supposed to go out to dinner. That didn't happen. Sad. He was too far gone. We never loved him less, just sad. But oh, how we truly loved him and his music. What a wonderful, true person. Oh, and what hits he had that will be forever be remembered. GOD BLESS YOU B.J.

1972. Tinha dezesseis anos. Essa música embalou nossos sonhos na época. Que saudade. E só pode dar saudade mesmo um tempo em que se lutava pelo fim da ditadura política com uma determinação moral que falta hoje no combate à injustiça, violência e corrupção.

[@southernsugar59]

I didn't become a mother until I was in my mid-30s, but I remembered this song from my teen years and often sang it to my babies who were only 19 months apart. The song really touched me because I was abandoned by my husband before the youngest child was born, and I was often scared because times were often very hard and lonely.

[@Jamesdylandean]

Awesome song and performance. Many very young mothers can identify with this.

[@Steamer235]

I remember the first time I heard this song...cruising Indy streets in my 67 LeMans. The DJ said this recording was destined to be a big hit and it was backed by the vocals of the Crystals and Beach Boys. BJ Thomas has always been a favorite singer of mine.
