Career

Beginning in church choir, joining up with The Triumphs, and then going solo was a career path that paved the way to success for him. With the Triumphs, he released his first notable album, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry in 1966. From there, the band enjoyed success through a Hank Williams song cover, for which the album was named. That same year, though, Thomas decided to make it or break it solo. He definitely made it and ended up releasing 40 albums and had amazing hits including, 'Hey Won't You Play Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song', 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head', and 'As Long as We Got Each Other'. He also was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and the Grammy Hall of Fame.
