B.J. Thomas, the Grammy-winning singer who enjoyed success on the pop, country and gospel charts with such hits as "I Just Can’t Help Believing," "Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head" and "Hooked on a Feeling," has died. He was 78.

A Hugo, Oklahoma-native who grew up in Houston, Billy Joe Thomas broke through in 1966 with a gospel-styled cover of Hank Williams’ "I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry" and went on to sell millions of records and have dozens of hits across genres. He reached No. 1 with pop, adult contemporary and country listeners in 1976 with ″(Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song." The same year, his "Home Where I Belong" became one of the first gospel albums to be certified platinum for selling more than 1 million copies.

R.I.P., B.J. Thomas.

Sad. Raindrops is the first song I remember my grandmother singing to me. She loved BJ and John Denver.

Rest in peace.
