Thomas started his career at the end of the 1960s, when he joined André-Marie Tala's group Les Tigres Noires. In 1976, he left the group and went to Cotonou (Bénin) where he recorded his first album, Funky New Bell, with the Santiagos of Cotonou. In 1977, he came back to Cameroon to record a second album. His first hit was "Rikiatou," and in 1984, "African Typic Collection" became an international hit. After a long silence, he came back on Africa's dance floors with "Emotion" in 1993.

In the 90's when cell phones became more available to consumers, I had a Mitsubishi phone with a long extendable antenna. The beginning of this song was my ringtone for years. I will never forget this song. Also good to know Sam Fan Thomas is still with us!
