    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.

    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.

    When this was big on the radio my 3 year old son fell in love with it and would sing it at the top of his lungs. That sweet little voice singing was such a joy. He couldn’t hit the high note though he tried, He is nearing 57 years old now and his voice is still a joy.

    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.

    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.
