"Raindrops keep falling on my head"



I love this song, and i`m sure many of you feel the same way.
Both Dionne Warwick and B.J Thomas did an amazing job with the song, but personally, i have to say i prefer Warwick`s version...
Which one do you like best?

It's hard to go against a major triad like Bacharach/David/Warwick.
However, picking a minor triad, Bacharach/David/Thomas, ain't bad at all.
I also like the B.J. Thomas version.

Rip will have something to say about this. cool

The song is so good that it helped make a classic scene in Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, even though the lyrics are totally inappropriate.

One of my all-time favorite songs music my favorite part in "Spider Man 2" is when this song is being played.

Notably,this was the Number One song in America at the beginning of 1970.So,I always think of it as the song that introduced us to the wonderful 70s decade,lol.

BJ Thomas` version? I haven`t heard Burt Bacharach`s original...
While doing some "research" i found out that Olivia Newton John, Ella Fitzgerald, The four tops, Dean Martin and Dee Dee Bridgewater (and many more) covered this song too...

omfg I`m sure you`d recognize it if you hear it... It`s a wonderful song


Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Here I am biggrin

It's not one of my fave Bacharach/David numbers, so I don't actively choose to listen to it. If ever I did, I'd surely listen to the version on this superb album:
