Texan raised country pop singer B. J. Thomas enjoyed a consistent run of hits in the States during the Seventies. His first number one hit single Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head featured in the western Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid and was one of the last hit compositions from Burt Bacharach. (US:12)

"This was the theme song for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid movie. Hal David and Burt Bacharach wrote some good ones together."

"Melds piano, strings, horns and his olive green tenor into one. Well-woven in sound and story. He makes it sound effortless."

"I don't know anyone who would not whistle or sing to this tune. I think it is a wonderful song."

"I learned this song in school and it was the go to song during rainstorms. It was often on the radio and quite cheerful. Recommended to those who let the rain bring them down (this will give you a different perspective) and to those who want a cheerful song."

"B J wasn't a mainstream rocker and, to his credit, he didn't try to be. He knew where his strength was and stuck to it; gentle, catchy melodies, heart-felt, insightful lyrics and a dramatic, genuine delivery that gave his music more power than any number of guitars, keyboards or amps could provide."

"His most famous song, the Bacharach-David Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head was the No. 1 song of 1970 and probably the song B.J. Thomas is most identified with. It would go on to sell over a millions copies."

"Record store owners have a difficult time trying to figure out where to place B.J. Thomas records. Sometimes you find in him the country section, other times in the pop area. And that pretty well sums up his career." "B. J. Thomas - he was simply a good mainstream pop singer, which pleases some listeners but not others."
