The (More) Billy Joe Thomas was born August 7th, 1942 at his Grandmother's home in Hugo, Oklahoma. His parents, Vernon and Geneva Thomas, had three children, Jerry, Billy Joe and Judy. The family moved around often, but stayed in close proximity during most of the children's growing years to Houston, Texas. The two Thomas boys both loved playing baseball and singing in their church choir. Young Billy Joe adopted the nickname, B.J., when there were too many young men with the name of Billy Joe on his Little League Baseball team. The name followed him through life since that time. B.J. Thomas & The Triumphs Left to right: Fred Carney, Donald Drachenberg, Gary Koepen, Denver Zatyka, Teddy Mensik, B.J. Thomas, Tom Griffith and Tim Griffith. After being convinced by his older brother Jerry to audition for a local band, "The Triumphs", Lamar Consolidated High School junior B.J. Thomas became the groups' lead singer. The band was a local success with songs such as "The Lazy Man" and "I Got A Feeling". Then their version of the Hank Williams tune, "I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry", caught the ear of young promoter Steve Tyrell, who talked Scepter Records into releasing the song nationally. Young Billy Joe Thomas became one of Scepter Records most successful solo artists. Soon after becoming a solo artist, B.J. met his wife Gloria at Van's Ballroom in Houston. She caught his eye because he had at first thought she was his sister, Judy. After seeing each other for some months, they became engaged and were married on December 9th, 1968 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their first child, Paige was born early in 1970. Just after traveling with a Christian crusade of singers, ministers and counselors in Taiwan, B.J. and Gloria adopted their second daughter, Nora from a Korean orphanage in 1978. Soon after returning from Korea with Paige and Nora, Gloria discovered they were again to be blessed with another child, their third daughter, Erin born in 1979. B.J. and Gloria became grandparents for the first time in November, 2003, when Nora and her husband Mark gave birth to a daughter, Nadia Soo Mee Cloud.
