He owns one of the most distinctive voices in American pop music—a reassuringly masculine timbre conveyed with a smattering of unique embellishments that represent a distillation of the most influential genres in pop culture.
Nothing about the identifiable sound of B.J. THOMAS’ voice has changed, but there’s a re-energized commitment behind it. Recognizing the continued loyalty of his fans, an anthology package of the original Scepter recordings as eight LPs to be reissued on four individual CDs with never before released bonus tracks. The project was brought together by music historian Jim Pierson. Interviews were compiled from all of the original writers and producers involved in making this music. Each CD includes a booklet that contains historical documentation of each particular album. This package is put together in a way that has made B.J. Thomas proud to be a part of it.
B.J. has also recently acted in as well as contributed six songs to the soundtrack of the independent picture JAKE’S CORNER; the songs were produced by acclaimed producer Steve Dorff. The film will be released March 2, 2010 by Monterey.
B.J. has also been in production with Allan Swartsburg and Bob Mann of NY Deep Diner on a Brazilian album in which B.J. lends his voice in an exciting new style. The album has been released in Brazil on Universal records and will be released in the United States in 2010.
“We’ve always tried to do the right thing as far as getting our music out and encouraging people with positive music,” B.J. reflects.
