Danny Thomas (born Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz; January 6, 1912– February 6, 1991) was an American nightclub comedian, singer and television and film actor and producer, whose career spanned five decades. He had also appeared as a guest on several talk and variety shows.
One of 10 children, Danny Thomas was born as Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz on January 6, 1912, in Deerfield, Michigan, to Charles Yakhoob Kairouz and his wife Margaret Taouk. His parents were Maronite Catholic immigrants from Lebanon. Kairouz and Taouk are two prominent families from Bsharri. Thomas was raised in Toledo, Ohio, attending St. Francis de Sales Church (Roman Catholic), Woodward High School, and finally the University of Toledo, where he was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Thomas was confirmed in the Catholic Church by the bishop of Toledo, Samuel Stritch. Stritch, a native of Tennessee, was a lifelong spiritual advisor for Thomas, and advised him to locate the St. Jude Hospital in Memphis. He married Rose Marie Cassaniti in 1936, a week after his 24th birthday.
Danny Thomas, born in 1948 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, was the second drummer for the 13th Floor Elevators. Danny played drums and sang back up vocals on the final two studio albums, Easter Everywhere and Bull of the Woods. In an interview in 2001, when Danny was asked when he had quit the band, his reply was "I never quit".
Danny Thomas left the 13th Floor Elevators in 1968 and was hired as drummer for Delta blues guitarist Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins to perform and record with Hopkins the album Free Form Patterns.
After leaving Texas and returning to North Carolina he played from 1970-1997 with the following bands: Lou Curry Band, Dogmeat, and Bessie Mae's Dream with Gene Norman, Rich Carlson, Marcus Cheek, and Jerry Shaver. During this time, he owned his own delivery company called Gophers Inc. Prior to that he worked in accounting at Carolinas Medical Center (formerly Charlotte Memorial Hospital).
A vegetarian and humanitarian, he retired, but had many hobbies including buying and selling antiques and gardening. He retired to Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife, Juanette. He had three children, two daughters, Christina Thomas and Tiffany Thomas Johnson, and an adopted son, Jason Vincent Brock.
Blue Skies is an American sitcom that aired from September 12, 1994 to October 24, 1994.
The show aired Monday nights at 8:30pm on ABC. Three months after it was canceled, another sitcom by the same creators (John Peaslee and Judd Pillot) and featuring several of the same cast members (Julia Campbell, Richard Kind and Stephen Tobolowsky), A Whole New Ballgame, aired in the same timeslot.
Premise
Two guys operate the Blue Skies Trading Company, a mail-order business in Boston.
Daniel Joseph (Danny) Thomas (born 12 November 1961 in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England) is a former professional footballer most notable for helping Tottenham Hotspur win the 1984 UEFA Cup, despite missing his penalty in the shootout in the final against Anderlecht.
Club career
Thomas made his debut for Coventry City during the 1979-80 season, making 3 appearances during that season. Over the next three seasons he was a regular for the first team. In June 1983 he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £250,000. He made his Tottenham league debut on 27 August 1983 in a 3-1 defeat at Ipswich Town. He collected a UEFA Cup winner's medal at the end of the 1983-84 season and would go on to make a total of 87 league appearances for the White Hart Lane club, scoring once, before suffering a knee injury in 1987. He retired the following year, having failed to recover from the injury.

Danny Thomas was a young, down-on-his-luck actor when he prayed to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, for help to support his family. He vowed, “Show me my way in life, and I will build you a shrine.”
After finding success, Danny fulfilled his promise, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened its doors on Feb. 4, 1962 in the belief that, “No child should die in the dawn in life.”

Danny Thomas (born Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz; January 6, 1912– February 6, 1991) was an American nightclub comedian, singer and television and film actor and producer, whose career spanned five decades. He had also appeared as a guest on several talk and variety shows.
One of 10 children, Danny Thomas was born as Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz on January 6, 1912, in Deerfield, Michigan, to Charles Yakhoob Kairouz and his wife Margaret Taouk. His parents were Maronite Catholic immigrants from Lebanon. Kairouz and Taouk are two prominent families from Bsharri. Thomas was raised in Toledo, Ohio, attending St. Francis de Sales Church (Roman Catholic), Woodward High School, and finally the University of Toledo, where he was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Thomas was confirmed in the Catholic Church by the bishop of Toledo, Samuel Stritch. Stritch, a native of Tennessee, was a lifelong spiritual advisor for Thomas, and advised him to locate the St. Jude Hospital in Memphis. He married Rose Marie Cassaniti in 1936, a week after his 24th birthday.
Blue skies are lookin' at me Nothin' but blue skies who I see And there's bluebirds singin' a song Nothin' but bluebirds all day long People say I'm selfish Yeah, they say I'm not the same Yeah, they say your girl's changed Don't ask me if I feel a thing The ones who put the pennies down Say we're never stayin' around Busy at the bed we made So what you think they're gonna say? People keep on talkin', let them talk away (Let them talk away) Sometimes you gotta give up and let them say what they say (Let them say what they say, what they say, what they say) All I need is my God, nobody's bigger than He So I say, go ahead, it's free publicity (Go ahead, go ahead) 'Cause I got Blue skies are lookin' at me Nothin' but blue skies who I see And there's bluebirds singin' a song Nothin' but bluebirds all day long Watch me as I close my ears Hold this on the positive Sittin' in a first class lounge Take me up above the clouds See I and everything I have All will pat me on the back Watchin' you, I keep around 'Cause they're the ones that keep me down I was born on the out and this is why I go in (This is why, this is why I work so hard) I got too much to lose so I ain't stressin' one man) (Ooh, I won't, I won't) With the good comes the bad and then it turns to great It's so far at the back, this is a vengeance, love swayed (As a vengeance, love swayed) That's why Blue skies are lookin' at me Nothin' but blue skies who I see And there's bluebirds singin' a song
