Featuring five-time Grammy and two-time Dove Award winner B. J. Thomas, over the past 50 years, has sold over 70 million records and is ranked among Billboard's top 50s most played artists. Having risen to stardom in the late 60s and 70s, Thomas' music is a mix of pop/rock and country. Early in his career, he was more influenced by rock & roll, later rolling over to the country music scene and evolving into a country-pop icon. Thomas made the top Ten chart in 1968 with "Hooked on a Feeling," followed by his biggest hit, "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head." Later, "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" became his second number-one hit launching his country career. His country career peaked in the early to mid 80s, with "Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love" and "New Looks from an Old Lover."
