Saw her sing many times...the Gluepot in Ponsonby mainly if I recall. helluva voice...

And you lived to tell the tale Peter? Either brave or big

Growing up in West Auckland, the Gluepot had a fiery reputation

Billie Joe Thomas no longer hooked on a feeling.

Died of lung cancer at the age of 78.

Last hit song was Don't worry Baby formerly sung by the Beach Boys.

Biggest hit Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head  from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Addicted to valium at one time in his life.

Got clean and turned to God.

You know too much NG

Out charted the Beach Boys original on the Hot 100, 17 vs 24

This song was also rated by Rolling Stone, as 178th in their list of the 500 best of all time

Nice song, but bit of an extreme wrap

Does illustrate though, when it comes to singing, you either have it or you don't

 

I note B J Thomas passed away today at age 78
