I sing all his songs at Karaoke and people love it

I try to imagine what a live version would be and sometimes if another artist sang it how it turn out

Hope he makes it.

What a storied life

BJ Thomas was great but I liked Blue Swedes cover of Hooked On A Feeling Better

Yeah, I really like both but give Blue Swede the edge too.

Love a lot of Thomas other songs though.
