Raindrops keep fallin on my head


"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a popular song performed by B.J. Thomas in the key of E-flat major. It was originally written for the 1969 film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" by composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David. The song became a significant hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970 and winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Interestingly, the song was not initially intended for the film but was added after a bicycle scene was shot and Bacharach composed the song specifically for it. The melody of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is characterized by its catchy and uplifting nature, featuring light guitar strumming, relaxed vocals, and a memorable chorus.
