BJ Thomas has made some fine numbers. I hope he's still as good today as he was before.

I have seen B.J Thomas in concert at least a dozen times since 1970 and he has been a class act and a very very underated talent and voice. His concerts are great and he loves our main man Elvis and truly respects him. Everybody going to the Elvis concert on the 16th should stay in town an extra day and support BJ and that great Chips Moman Memphs sound from the late 60s and early 70s. I will definitely be there. WE LOVE YOU BJ
