Debuting at #40 on this KGY chart, from July 1972, is BJ Thomas with “That’s What Friends Are For”. It’s just one of many charted songs by this 5 time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter born in Hugo, Oklahoma and raised in Houston. Thomas is perhaps best remembered for his first hit single … a cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” … and “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head” which was featured in the Paul Newman/Robert Redford film “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid” … earning an Oscar for Best Original Song.
BJ Thomas died today (May 29th) at his home in Arlington, Texas at 78. His death was attributed to complications from lung cancer.
