About B.J. Thomas
B.J. Thomas moved between pop, country and gospel while maintaining a warm, direct vocal style. His early work developed through the Texas group the Triumphs before the national Scepter recordings, followed by MCA country-pop and Myrrh gospel albums. His Columbia recordings brought another country period in the 1980s. Later acoustic projects revisited familiar songs with duet partners, making it useful to distinguish those new performances from the original studio recordings collected here.
