"Raindrops Go on Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 moving picture Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.[3] The uplifting lyrics describe somebody who overcomes his troubles and worries past realizing that "information technology won't be long 'till happiness steps upward to greet me."[iv] [5]

The single by B. J. Thomas reached No. 1 on charts in the The states, Canada and Kingdom of norway, and reached No. 38 in the United kingdom Singles Chart.[3] Information technology topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in Jan 1970 and was also the first American No. 1 hit of the 1970s. The song likewise spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[vi] Billboard ranked it equally the No. iv song of 1970. According to Billboard mag, Thomas' single had sold over two million copies by March xiv, 1970, with eight-rail and cassette versions likewise climbing the charts.[vii] It won an Oscar for Best Original Song.[three] Bacharach also won Best Original Score.

History [edit]

Composition and recording [edit]

The vocal was recorded past B. J. Thomas in seven takes, subsequently Bacharach expressed dissatisfaction with the first six. In the movie version of the song, Thomas had been recovering from laryngitis, which made his vocalisation sound huskier than in the 7-inch release. The pic version featured a separate vaudeville-style instrumental break in double time while Paul Newman performed bicycle stunts.[ citation needed ]

Ray Stevens was first offered the opportunity to tape it for the picture show, but turned it down. He chose instead to record the vocal "Sunday Morning Coming Down", written by Kris Kristofferson. Bob Dylan is supposed to have been approached for the song, simply he reportedly declined too.[8] The trumpet solos in the song are performed past Chuck Findley.[9]

Legacy [edit]

Gold record presented to fill-in singer Linda November for her work on "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"

The song was featured during the 2004 superhero picture Spider-Man two over a montage sequence when Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) initially renounces his identity as Spider-Man.[10] The aforementioned twelvemonth, it finished at number 23 on AFI'southward 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. In 2008, the unmarried was ranked 85th on Billboard's Hot 100 All-time Meridian Songs[xi] and placed 95th in the 55th Ceremony edition of the All-time Hot 100 list in 2013.[12] Billboard Magazine also ranked the vocal 15th on its Top 50 Movie Songs of All Time list in 2014.[13] .

The song, initially when information technology came out, I believe it was Oct of 69, the movie didn't come out until December, it did go some bad reviews. It was a very unique and different sounding vocal, Bacharach and David never had any qualms about trying to practice anything dissimilar, or push button the envelope and then to speak. So nowadays, information technology sounds pretty tame, but back then, radio resisted information technology to some degree. Only, when the movie came out it hit hugely and sold near 200,000 to 300,000 records a solar day [and continued selling] for about three years.

—B.J. Thomas, Interview, Pods o' Pop (August 22, 2011)[xiv]

On December 3, 2013, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences appear that the single would be inducted into the 2014 Grammy Hall Of Fame.[fifteen]
