BJ Thomas who died on May 29th at the age of 78. He had 26 Hot 100 singles -with 14 making the Top 40- and 2 #1’s “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” in 1969 and ‘ Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song’- 1975.
I always liked this song, though it didn’t do well on the charts. The guys who wrote it had a lot to do with the Atlanta Rhythm Section…
I’d somehow missed that he’d passed away. I liked his music well enough.
