Re: Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head’ singer B.J. Thomas dead at 78
I was just thinking about this song today.

I was singing it in my head while watching the much needed rain failing.

So sad :(

RIP B.J.

To make a long joke short.
Vampire books hotel room in NYC asks for room service delivered by young male italian. Enjoys it, tosses the corpse out the window, does this a couple more times.

Outside the hot dog vendor calls the police. Cops come say 'what's up?' , hot dog vender says "you won't believe this officer, drained wops keep falling on my head."

Here's the part of the 1969 movie "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" where we first heard the song "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"
I was 7 years old and saw this movie at a drive-in theatre.

Kinda odd with all these people suddenly dying! The mainstream media would never attribute it to the vaxxes. Watch for more famous people dying in the coming 1 to 2 years, but ...oh no...it wasn't the vaxxes that did them in. Wow!

He wasn't gay. What a vile thing for you to say about someone's death. He accomplished much in his life and shared his talents with the world. May his soul rest in peace.

And if he was gay would it matter? Guy wrote one of the most recognizable songs in western music ever.

Its Billy Joe Thomas, you godless fucks. Countless panties dropped to the sound of his voice back then
and yet you berate him in death. He had a masculine voice few could match yet there was a healing quality full of love and hope.
Good Luck finding that today you spiteful pukes.

Listen to this song and you might catch a glimpse of just how good life was back then. The optimism of the 60's is sorely lacking now.

Re: Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head’ singer B.J. Thomas dead at 78
also grew up with his music
it is a loss
he was quite talented.
my first thought after reading your thread title was an obscure song he recorded that I had the 45rpm record of as a little kid. he was with his first "garage band" in the late 1950's, I believe.
he recorded with them in 1962 in one of his early efforts, which is a GREAT song: NEVER TELL

"NEVER TELL, NEVER TELL, NEVER TELL THE LITTLE GIRL YOU LOVE HER (GIRLFRIEND, NOT CHILD, ONE MUST CLARIFY IN THIS DAY AND AGE..)

SWEET TALK, SWEET TALK, SWEET TALK IS SOMETHING ONE WOULD RATHER SPARE..

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW IT SEEMS UNFAIR BUT IF YOU LET HER KNOW YOU CARE, THEN THE CHALLENGE WON'T BE THERE AND SHE'LL LEAVE YOU - FEELING BLUE WONDERING, WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I DO.... TO YOU."

I used to play the record and sing the song at the top of my lungs @ 4 - 5 years old, not really understanding what the song was about.

just looked it up, this is it. lots of nostalgia for then and sadness at the loss of b.j. thomas:

(what a GREAT voice!)

Re: Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head’ singer B.J. Thomas dead at 78
I didn't know this little tidbit: BJ Thomas had the FIRST #1 HIT song in America of the 1970's, when "Raindrops keep falling on my head" carried over from 1969 and the continued success of the Butch Cassidy film. It was written by composer Bert Bacharach and lyricist Hal David and was also a GREAT song from many of our childhoods on here. It won BEST song @ the academy awards, and B.J. Thomas performed it there, SHOOTING a cap gun at the liberal audience when appearing on stage, lol (posted below)

From wikipedia:

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.[3] The uplifting lyrics describe somebody who overcomes his troubles and worries by realizing that "it won't be long 'till happiness steps up to greet me."[4][5]

The single by B. J. Thomas reached No. 1 on charts in the United States, Canada, Norway and reached No. 38 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in January 1970 and was also the first American No. 1 hit of the 1970s. The song also spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[6] Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song of 1970.[7] According to Billboard magazine, Thomas' single had sold over 2 million copies by March 14, 1970, with eight-track and cassette versions also climbing the charts.[8] It won an Oscar for Best Original Song.[3] Bacharach also won Best Original Score.
