Gene Thomas, the Texas singer and songwriter whose 1961 swamp-pop hit "Sometimes" was recorded at Houston's Gold Star Studios (later SugarHill), and was later covered by Doug Sahm, passed away Sunday morning. Houston musician Buzzy Smith announced Thomas' death on his Facebook page.
The Palestine native was 74. He had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in July, Thomas' wife Darlene posted on his Facebook page at the time.
According to Vicki Welch Ayo, author of the forthcoming book Boys From Houston, Thomas (born Gene Thomasson) picked up a guitar at age 12 and was performing in Houston by his 18th birthday. He cut "Sometimes" with "two friends and two hired musicians," and although it was ignored at first, it eventually went to No. 1 in all the big Texas cities, Ayo says.
"I played Elks, Moose Lodges, Lion's (all the animal kingdom clubs) National Guard Armories, etc; every place with four walls and electricity for plugging in the amps," Thomas tells Ayo in Boys from Houston, which she says is in the final-edit stages at Texas A&M University Press.
