Everybody knows the song "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head." Today I'm honoured to have the man who sang it on the show - the one and only BJ Thomas!

BJ Thomas shares with us how his career got started and how it's been lasting to this day.

Evergreen hits like "Raindrops" and "Hooked on a Feeling" brought him national and world-wide recognition. He sold 70 million copies of his albums and was inducted into Grammy's Hall of Fame.

In this episode we also chat about his growing up in Houston, how he has been spending time during the lockdown, and what's coming next for him.

BJ is a very welcoming, down to earth artist, and after listening to our interview, I know which songs you will be listening to all day!

“For me, being at home during the pandemic has been like on a gig day, but with no show at the end.” - BJ Thomas
