He had an incredible voice. Some people need a bunch of producing to sound good. He did not.

The theme song to the 80's/90's sitcom "Growing Pains" was classic.

He managed to get to the top of his profession without a Gong Show appearance.

Grew up in Richmond/Rosenberg and went to same high school as BJ several decades later. Several of my friends dads were in the Triumphs. Never got to see them when they got back together occasionally.
