Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, BJ Thomas, Guitar Instrumental Cover by David
"Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 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."
The single by B. J. Thomas reached No. 1 on charts in the United States, Canada and 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. Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song of 1970. 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. Bacharach also won Best Original Score.
Burt Bacharach ,sadly passed away on the 8th of February 2023, so this a fitting tribute to the great, song writer and composer.

This was a live take, no video editing .

Hi Dave - you played that one really well with a good sound - I'll never get used to the ending but guess Burt Bacharach had his reasons. LOL Have a great Sunday.. Cheers Phil

Glad you enjoyed it Jon, yes the timing at many points, needs to be right for this one especially the ending , or its a retake LOL. Its a nice one to play, never in million years did I ever think I would be playing one of Bacharach's songs on guitar, on YT.😊 It was a very nice arrangement and tabs from Phil ,so cant take all the credit, very grateful for his tabs, would take me ages to work them out. Until the next time thank you, take care, All the best Dave (UK)👍🎸🎸🎵🎵😊
