Having recorded greats such as “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” and “Don’t Worry Baby,” B.J. Thomas told Goldmine just what albums influenced him. ►
Just nine days past his 68th birthday, Thomas wowed his obviously devoted followers in New Jersey with a 90-minute set that read like a greatest hits package of the ’60s and ’70s. ►
