I suppose one can forgive the producers for having chosen that awful, B.J. Thomas "one-hit wonder" song, given the fact that it was 1969 and everyone in Hollywood was smoking so much pot that simply walking down La Cienega Boulevard could give you a contact high. Considering also the state of AM radio at that time, it easily might have been even worse. Two words: Sugar, Sugar.

B.J. Thomas "one-hit wonder"

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" may be a dreadful song, but B.J. Thomas was anything but a "one-hit wonder."

Thomas had two Billboard Hot 100 #1 songs ("Raindrops" and "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song").

He had another three in the Billboard top ten ("I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," "Hooked on a Feeling," and "I Just Can't Help Believing").

In all, B.J. Thomas had twelve Billboard Top 40 hits on the 'regular' Billboard charts.

If you include the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart (with songs like "No Love At All," "Mighty Clouds of Joy," "Rock and Roll Lullaby"), he had four #1 Billboard hits, twelve Top Ten songs, and thirty Top 40 hits.

That's not counting his Billboard Country hits, where he had three number #1 singles (including "New Looks from an Old Lover" and "Two Car Garage") and other hits.

No, B.J. Thomas was not a one-hit wonder.
