Five-time Grammy award winner and Grammy Hall of Fame inductee, B.J. Thomas, died today at home in Arlington, Texas at the age of 78 from complications due to stage four lung cancer.

Few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than B.J. Thomas. With his smooth, rich voice and unerring song sense, Thomas’s expansive career crossed multiple genres, including country, pop, and gospel, earning him CMA, Dove, and Grammy awards and nominations since his emergence in the 1960s.

Today, Leon III ("Leon the Third") shares Kai Welch's remix of "Fly Migrator," the first track off Leon III's latest album Antlers in Velvet.

Kai's syncopated, and expressive take on the song is the perfect amount of weird synthy articulation to uncover brand new musical flavors of the 9-minute track.
