Thomas At Work On 2nd Gospel LP

WACO, TX. – Grammy and Dove Award winner B.J. Thomas has begun work on his second gospel album, which is scheduled to be released in early summer. The album will mark the return of B.J.’s former producer, Chips Moman, who worked with him on his pop recordings, including “Raindrops Keep Failin’ On My Head,” “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” and the current “Everybody Loves A Rain Song.” This will be Moman’s first venture into producing a gospel album. Buddy Huey, Word vice president of A&R, said the new album is “a continuation of B.J.’s interest in bringing gospel music into the mainstream of the music industry.” [Gospel Section, CashBox, Vol. XXXIX – No. 50 / April 29, 1978]
