    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 was such a great singer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pure and wholesome. They just don't make singers like him anymore. He passed away last year and raindrops fell on my lap. I think this song was for the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid staring Robert Redford and Paul Newman.

    His song, Hooked On A Feelin is another great one, especially since it was used in the earlier Guardians Of The Galaxy movie.

    First time I heard this song was while walking through a Gemco department store in 1971 or 1972 as a child. I always remembered that moment because of the way he says "'cause..." instead of because. For some reason that always stuck with me over the decades.

      I remember my third grade teacher/nun writing the lyrics to this on the blackboard and teaching us to sing it around the time it was a hit. Besides church songs, I think this might be the first Pop song I learned the lyrics to.

    "I Just Can't Help Believin' and "Hooked On A Feeling" are both stellar songs that B J Thomas sings.

    This guy had an incredible voice like no other! He never got the respect he deserved - such a natural as a singer - many people attributed his fame to the writers of most of his hits - suggesting that other singers could have achieved the same noteriety with such great songs - but his fans knew better - he turned good songs into fantastic and memorable music! RIP Mr Thomas!

    Talk about memories. My dad made me play this on the piano every time we had company. (My sister loved performing, I hated it) 😂
    I want to say this was from the movie “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” I just looked it up and that statement is correct. Wiki says this song was Number 1 for 4 weeks and was the FIRST Number 1 son of the 1970s. Just a little trivia.

  • @timoeland6159
    @timoeland6159 Рік тому +1

    So glad you got around to BJ, my favorite male voice of the '60's and '70's! His first hit was a cover of the Hank Williams classic "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". Next came "Eyes of a New York Woman". A string of hits followed these, including "Hooked On a Feeling", "I Just Can't Help Believing", "Most Of All", "Everybody's Out Of Town", "No Love At All", "Rock and Roll Lullaby" (which features background vocals by the Beach Boys). He also had a gospel hit with "Mighty Clouds of Joy", which is arguably his most powerful vocal performance. All of these songs are awesome!

    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.

    This may be the first pop song I remember hearing. I was in first grade and "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" was being played in our music room at our school. It sounded so good I thought the singer B.J. Thomas was there singing it for the music class. I immediately loved the song, and it always takes me back to that time. Great selection.

    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.

    This Burt Bachrach hit was very big when it was featured in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", a very popular movie. B.J.

    I've never seen the two of you doing a comparison reaction of one song by two artists, but whether you want to to it in one video, or break it up over two videos, you have to check out B.J. Thomas and his version of "Hooked On A Feeling" followed by the same song by Blue Swede! Both are great but oh so different versions of the same song! Put it on your list!
