Salute to Heroes III Patriot Dinner, Dance & Concert April 2 • South Shore Harbour Resort For tickets call (281) 334-1000, Ext. 2025 BJ Thomas BJ Thomas is a true American institution whose iconic pop, country and gospel hits defined their respective generations and now transcend them. The five-time Grammy and two-time Dove Award winner has sold more than 70 million records and is ranked in Billboard’s Top 50 most played artists over the past 50 years. Thomas is an identifiable cultural touchstone who continues to do 60-80 shows a year throughout the U.S. and abroad, from Australia and Hong Kong to Paris. He discovered through technology just how deep and loyal his fans’ commitment runs when a few years back, after an interview he did with an online DJ, the host put some music together for a one-hour on-line package that had 3.5 million downloads in three days. Some of Thomas’ signature hits are “Raindrops,” “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song,” “Lonesome,” “I Just Can’t Help Believing,” “Don’t Worry Baby” and “Hooked on a Feeling.” He expanded into gospel music in the 70s and early 80s, earning the first 4 platinum albums in the genre’s history: “Home Where I Belong,” “Happy Man,” “You Gave Me Love” and “Amazing Grace.” Four of his Grammy Awards were earned for his work in gospel as well. His most recent album, “The Living Room Sessions” is B.J. Thomas’ first “unplugged” album, celebrating 50 years in the recording industry and forty-seven years since his first gold record (a cover of the Hank Williams song, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”). “The Living Room Sessions” has many of Thomas’ most recognizable hits. It was produced to instill the atmosphere of an intimate setting and includes duet performances from some of Thomas’ favorite artists. Visit www.visitleaguecity.com for overnight accommodations
