With all of the important hits that B.J. Thomas cut for the Scepter label in the 1960s and 1970s (as well as some non-hits), as well as some mid-'60s sides issued on the Pacemaker and Bragg labels, this 25-track disc is the best single-CD compilation of the singer's work. True, it's missing his two big mid-'70s post-Scepter pop singles, "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" and "Don't Worry Baby." Not many people would say those tracks were among his best stuff or miss their presence here, though. The big edge this has on some other best-ofs with similar material is the quantity, which leaves room for some obscure non-charting items like the almost comically over-serious suicide tale "Plain Jane," the mid-'60s uptown soul of "I Don't Have a Mind of My Own," and his LP-only cover of "Suspicious Minds." Plus, there are well-illustrated lengthy liner notes in the accompanying 16-page booklet. It's a worthy collection of the best decade of this popular but hard to classify artist, who combined country, swamp pop, and R&B into his brand of highly commercial pop/rock. ~ Richie Unterberger

This is the first and only CD to carry all the major early hits of this important '60s/'70s U.S. chartmaker. It contains the original -- and best -- versions of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," "Mama" (a U.K. hit in 1966 for Dave Berry), "I Just Can'

Scepter Hits And More 1964-73 Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Original recordings by the best soft rock singer ever
Amazing range and vocal dynamics are the trademark of B. J. Thomas. He always finds a way to go ahead and nail the highest, hardest, note on the chart. 5 time grammy winner, plus number one hits in pop, country, gospel singer. These are great recordings.
