BJ Thomas - I'm so lonesome I could cry (Hank Williams)

[@TriciaNaz1964]

I just loved BJ Thomas from the moment I heard him so many years ago.

[@susanfitzgerald1788]

He sounds just as wonderful as he did decades ago👏👏👏

It was his song hooked on a feeling when I first started going out with my husband, now of 45 yrs

[@RobertArnold-sr2yq]

I think I was in 4th grade when I bought hooked on a feeling. I wore that 45 out. BJ brought smiles and tears to me. Rest in a perfect sleep.

[@samnews76]

BJ's version of this Hank Williams' classic made it one of my favorite songs.

[@Silverwings1234]

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.

[@MTknitter22]

Yes and the room hush in a room full of great singers!!

[@ehardin54]

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.🎈🎈🎈

[@larrybill9141]

Hello patty how are you doing!!

[@oviedoc5454]

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.

[@easyenetwork2023]

About the only country artist who is literally pitch perfect. It takes talent and practice to sing that pitch perfect.

[@prokofievchambers8603]

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!

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!!

BJ was such a gift to come from a small town of Rosenberg, Texas to make a colorful splash in this music business! It was a shock to me when I heard of BJ’s passing! BJ left all of us who had the great privilege & pleasure of seeing him & listening & dancing to BJ’s singing! It’s been over 3 years since his passing & he will be missed forever!
