1966, B.J. Thomas and The Triumphs released the album “I'm So Lonesome I Could
Cry,” featuring a hit cover of the Hank Williams song of the same name. The
single sold more than one million copies.
In
1968, Thomas released the album “The Eyes of a New York Woman,” then five
months later produced the hit, “Hooked on a Feeling,” on the album “On My Way.”
