Sunday, October 25, Sharp Theater, 7 P.M.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A true American institution whose iconic pop, country and gospel hits defined their respective generations and now transcend them, B.J. Thomas has found a unique way to celebrate an incredible half century in music and some 47 years since his first gold selling hit on Scepter Records. Thomas has earned five Grammy awards, more than fifteen Top 40 Pop\/Rock hits, and sold 70 million records.<\/p>\n

Several of his well-known songs include \u201cHey Won\u2019t You Play Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song,\u201d \u201cRaindrops Keep Fallin\u2019 On My Head\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m So Lonesome I Could Cry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…Thomas\u2019 resurgence is proof that the phrase \u2018born to sing\u2019 can apply to a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n
