All the Hits - the Ultimate Collection

B.J. Thomas

Edit

Spanning a period of more than 20 years and containing hits from 4 different labels, this Australian import is clearly the finest B.J. Thomas collection ever assembled. The first cut is the 1966 classic "Billy and Sue" which was released on Nashville's Hickory label. What follows are 18 cuts containing just about every one of B.J.'s hits on the Scepter label. Everyone is familiar with his biggest hits "Hooked on A Feeling" and of course his signature song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", but frankly I am partial to some of his lesser known hits including "The Eyes of A New York Woman", "Mighty Clouds of Joy" and "Mama". But whatever your preference you will surely find them all here. Also included are a couple of his hits for MCA including "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" as well as well as hit remake of the Beach Boys classic "Don't Worry Baby".

The final two cuts are from his days at Columbia. At this point in the mid-eighties, his records were only being played on country and adult contemporary stations. In my opinion, "Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love?" is one of his best discs ever. So spend an extra few bucks and pick up one of the best values you'll ever find.
