    B J Thomas had a lot of great songs in the 60's-80's. He is best known for "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" from the 1969 movie "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid". But he had a lot of other great songs such as "Hooked On A Feeling", "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song", "Don't Worry Baby", "No Love At All", "Mighty Clouds Of Joy", "The Eyes Of A New York Woman", "Rock & Roll Lullaby" etc. Sadly he passed away last year.

    Hello, Harri. What a wonderful song to explore! BJ Thomas was big for his time but he's since become almost forgotten since then but, man, he made some beautiful music. An amazing talent.
    A basic rule of thumb about Elvis' releases - pretty much anything released after his movies petered out is a cover. Certainly, this is absolutely true for everything from about 1968 onward. It's also true that, for the most part, there's always a version that is better than his. He never wrote anything so depended on material he could get from elsewhere. His best stretch was when Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller were writing for him back in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

    The original released recording was by Barry Mann, husband of co-writer Cynthia Weil in 1968. It is gentler with a acoustic folky feel. The massive Elvis 'Live in Vegas' hit took the arrangement of the Thomas version, added steroids and the break to silence part in the middle.

    BJ had a most recognizable pleasant voice, one of those you instantly knew it was him on the radio, and you would turn up the volume. Save embarrassment, before you listen to a song, look it up and find out if someone else did it first. I always considered him an all around singer, not specifically a "country singer" ...just because he did some country type songs people wanted to categorize him in a neat little box in their brain to file away and feel comfortable with, just like Glen Campbell, who could sing anything, even played for the Beach Boys recordings, and sang and played bass on a tour with them...not exactly country music eh? When you appeal to the general public as a singer, you are not in a specific category in my book. Elvis sang everything...so did Nat King Cole in his day.

    This isn't too bad of a version, Harri - a lot of those older TV shows, music-variety specials, etc., insisted on good sound. I think most of us just hate it when a live version bares little resemblance to the original. I think you need a dose of Englebert Humperdink "After The Lovin'"
