B. J. Thomas : (6) " I think accepting Christ as your personal savior is the only way to have peace and real happiness in your life. " - B. J. Thomas " I had had eight hits on the Top 20 chart before ‘Raindrops,’ but they were soon forgotten and so was I. Before that song, I was successful at selling records, but I was never a somebody. " - B. J. Thomas " I think the black R&B singers of my day were the best singers of my generation. " - B. J. Thomas " When I do ‘I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,’ I remember my dad. He was the one who asked me to sing it, so it’s a song I’m doing for him every time I do it. " - B. J. Thomas " Well, I need to do music. " - B. J. Thomas " We were thinking of an excuse to go into the studio – me and Allan Schwartzberg and Bob Mann, my two guys I’ve recorded with so much in New York City. We said, ‘Man, let’s make an album of Brazilian music just for ourselves, if nothing else.’ So we made it. " - B. J. Thomas
