Country Pop Singer B.J. Thomas Hooked on MySpace and iTunes



First launched to musical success in 1966 with his cover version of Hank Williams' classic I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, B.J. Thomas explored pop and country music. Two years later, he released Hooked On a Feeling. Next, he collaborated with legendary producers and song-writers Burt Bacharach and Hal David on Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, Thomas' biggest hit. He's still recording today, and his newest album, Love to Burn, came out just last year. B.J. Thomas took time to tell us about his technology interests.
