Best song outro of all time.
My parents gave me a surprise birthday party for my 4th birthday and played that LP the whole time.
Everytime I have ever heard ‘Raindrops keep falling on my head’ since then, I was instantly transported back to that most wonderful best birthday I ever had.
Raindrops outro. H/T Herb Alpert
Well, if you count the world of sports, former Utah Jazz star center Mark Eaton died yesterday.
It’s lonely out tonight...
The wrong Gavin and the wrong BJ were lost on the same day. Both great Americans.
My wife and I saw BJ in person several years ago at Sun City Shadow Hills (Indio, Ca.). He put on an amazing show and his voice was pure gold. It was an incredible evening and he shared some great stories from “yester-year”.
RIP to a good person and a great entertainer.
Katherine Ross was hot!
We also saw him a few years ago in Orange County, CA... maybe on the same tour as you did. I couldn’t help but notice that his voice had actually gotten better as he aged. Not many singers can say that. He put on a GREAT show.
We sat with BJ years ago in a Dallas studio reviewing his first Gospel Album and discussing his conversion. He was humble, engaging and totally sincere in his faith. He was “walk-in’ on a cloud.” He wanted to know all he could about God and Israel. Tonight he is “Home where I belong.” May his memory be a blessing. It is for me.
His first hit, a cover of Hank Williams “I’m So Lonesome I could Cry” was a very popular song when I was in high school in 1965. It was often played on the radio sandwiched between Beatles and Rolling Stones songs.

RIP ... I still remember fondly when he sang the Star Spangled Banner during the Stars Stanley Cup finals in 1999. What a voice!
‘Neighbor was just playing songs sung by Jim Croce. Who said songs of the ‘70s were no good?

Very sad. Love all of his big hits. One that was not as big, but still great: “No Love at All.”
Another music legend dead, dead, dead.
When will the madness end?
Soon there will be no more music getting made
RIP BJ and “Murry”.......fine singer and fine actor
Hooked on a feeling
I loved that one too but when BJ teamed up with Bacharach with Raindrops and Everybody’s Out of Town.....WOW. Magic just like with Dionne. RIP BJ......
Murray.........
