The thing is, here in Brazil the film was released in theaters about 5 or 6 years after its release in USA and only with the title Butch Cassidy.They must have thought the title was too big for Brazilians to pronounce. 😆 But I would never forget Sundance Kid, after all, I fell in love with Robert Redford in that movie!

[@tvgator1]

This is the theme song from the movie BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID; that was one of biggest hit movies of its era, and this song won an Oscar for best song. This was a huge hit on the pop charts as well. BJ Thomas has sung a zillion songs including dozens of hits as well as commercial work too.

[@willowthegood9035]

This is a great song, featured in the movie "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" Western with humor and great performances.

[@toddkutches8691]

"Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" would be a good candidate for a movie reaction, come to think of it. It is a solid Western from the 70s based on a true outaw gang and the cast has heavy hitters of the time, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. I'd love to see your reactions. :)

[@talltulip]

This song was co-written by one of the most successful and prolific songwriters ever: Burt Bacharach. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures of 20th-century popular music. Bacharach wrote seventy-three U.S. and fifty-two UK Top 40 hits. He won six Grammy Awards, three Academy Awards, and one Emmy Award. He had a long association with the singer Dionne Warwick; most of her early hits were his compositions. He just passed away in February of this year at the age of 94.

BJ Thomas 'Rock and Roll Lullaby', 'I just Can't Help Believing'.. BJ started out as a baseball player, etc. Great Gospel Singer!

[@danastearns7939]

Born in OK in 1942. This song, written by Burt Bachrach, was released in 1969 as the title song to "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" - which I recommend for your viewing pleasure, starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The song won the Academy Award In for Best Song in 1969. In 2014 the song was inducted into The Grammy Hall of Fame. Other nice songs from BJ Thomas include: "I just can't help believing" - "70; "Hooked on a Feeling" - '68; "I'm so lonesome, I could cry" - '66. RIP May 2021.

[@surlechapeau]

I've been requesting their Dionne Warwick songs on occasion. Timeless music!

[@brianc.4081]

I agree that while BJ Thomas was great, the real reaction path to follow is through Burt Bacharach’s catalogue (and on many of his best songs, Hal David provided the lyrics).

[@surlechapeau]

Yes!!!

[@rebeccasimantov5476]

Agreed... I love Walk on By (Dionne Warwick)... a truly great song!

[@jeannettestogner5164]

BJ Thomas was an incredible artist!! You should also listen to "I Just Can't Help Believing," "Rock and Roll Lullaby," and "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song"! BJ had a major battle with drug addiction and turned his life over to God, subsequently recording a lot of contemporary Christian music. His testimony of how God saved and rescued him is one of the most powerful I've ever heard. Great reaction, as always! Looking forward to hearing more from BJ!! ❤

B. J. Thomas had SEVERAL GREAT HITS, including: Billy and Sue," "I Just Can't Help Believing," "No Love At All," "The Eyes of a New York Woman," and more!

[@dandaintac388]

This song was the first #1 hit of the 1970s. It was composed by Burt Bacharach, one of the greatest composers of the 1960s. If you listen to more of Bacharach's songs, you'll get a sense of his distinct style--soft, upbeat ballads with horns. Another song by BJ Thomas which you would like if you liked this one, is Another Done Somebody Wrong Song--which came out about 5 years later. For some more of Bacharach's compositions, The Look of Love (Dusty Springfield), Casino Royale (Herb Alpert), One Less Bell to Answer, Close to You (by the Carpenters), I Say a Little Prayer for You (Dione Warwick), What the World Needs Now (Jackie DeShannon), This Guy's In Love with You (also by Herb Alpert). Raindrops was featured in the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid--one of the great westerns of the 60s, with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. It's a little different though--sung by someone else. The song remains closely associated with the movie. You should react to that movie if you have not already done so. There is a feeling of both sadness and joy in both song and movie--just like the 60s. BJ Thomas went through a period where he suffered from serious drug and alcohol problems. He died a few years ago in his late 70s from lung cancer. RIP

Back then Everybody loved this song, adults and kids. Now every time it rains you're gonna be singing this song lol. According to Billboard magazine, it had sold over 2 million copies by March 14, 1970, with eight-track and cassette versions also climbing the charts. It won an Oscar for Best Original Song. Burt Bacharach also won Best Original Score. Other songs by BJ Tomas besides the common ones mentioned in the comments was I Just Can't Help Believin' and I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry, and Rock and Roll Lullaby.

[@BarbLedbetter1014]

I Just Can't Help Believing - beautiful heartfelt love song

[@tonyginnetti5828]

One of BJ Thomas' most underrated (and my personal favorite) songs is "Everybody's Out Of Town"! His beautiful, identifiable voice is showcased as well as a terrific trombone throughout the song.......give that one a listen and reaction! Much Thanks!

Love this song. B.J has such a strong and gentle voice.

Burt Bacharach is really the hero of this song . He was a amazing songwriter who was a huge star of that era

[@jamesbickerton2475]

If you are familiar with Burt Bacharach, then you will hear his signature sound all over this track. Mr. Bacharach in fact penned the whole movie score for the legendary movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. This song comes straight from that movie score.

Jim Croce and BJ Thomas were the two biggest star/crooners in the 70s

[@KidBklyn]

A song that was covered by many singers is 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. But for some reason, the way B.J. Thomas sings it, really makes you want to cry. There's just something about it.

[@lamusiclover2264]

This song was written by Burt Bacharach who wrote some of the most amazing songs and music of the 60's and 70's, and came back in the 90's to compose a great album with Elvis Costello. He wrote this for the soundtrack of the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Many of his biggest hits were sung by Dionne Warwick, but the Carpenters sang his songs as did Dusty Springfield.

When BJ Thomas lived in Arlington, he went to the same little church my cousin and her husband attended. He was on the road most of the time but on the few occasions he was at church, he would favor the congregation with a gospel song ( I like the one " WOULD THEY LOVE HIM DOWN IN SHREVEPORT?") . Can you imagine his voice echoing through a small church sanctuary?

[@clash5j]

It would be something different for the channel, but it would be cool for you to react to the songs of a songwriter who made his name writing songs for other artists. In this case it would be the songs of Burt Bacharach. He wrote a ton of great songs for other artists in his career, sometimes in collaboration with Hal David.

[@BrendaNelson-ll4ls]

Love this classic. Jay and Amber You'll love "Hooked on a Feeing"

[@jdw5678]

Oh yes, a big, beautiful song from an extraordinary singer. A huge hit in 1970. It's also important to note that Burt Bacharach and Hal David, two of the best songwriters of the 20th century, wrote this great tune for the "Sundance" movie (mentioned in other comments). As for Thomas, he sang pop, country and gospel/ inspirational songs all with marvelous grace and style. He OWNS the original version of "Hooked On a Feeling" -- forget that ooga chaka mess!

[@amyk9175]

That trumpet at the end is classic Bacharach. Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love and Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song are great follow ups.

[@americanaforever6725]

So many great hits by BJ Thomas

[@cindyOkieGirl]

This song was from a FANTASTIC movie (a true classic) starring Paul Newman & Robert Redford, "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid". Great movie, with great acting, and a fantastic musical soundtrack (from the late '60s). Hooked on a Feeling and Rock n Roll Lullaby (Amber will love that one) are 2 more good BJ Thomas songs.

[@bloppysloppy4057]

Yes she will!

[@CPny65]

My mother taught me this song when i was 7 or 8. that was '72/73, and still remember all the words. It's also in one of my favorite movies "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" Thanks for the memories you brought back today, and as always, the Smiles

[@bradsullivan2495]

The second anniversary of B.J. Thomas' death is on May 29 and the person who wrote the song, Burt Bacharach, passed away just three months ago. Bacharach wrote a majority of Dionne Warwick's big hits.
