When:
Short story:
B.J. Thomas is awarded a gold record by the R.I.A.A. in the USA for his hit
single Raindrops
Keep Fallin' On My Head, written by Burt
Bacharach and Hal David, from the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid.

Hal David (co-writer) :The film-makers just showed us the scene, Paul Newman on a bicycle showing off in front of Katharine Ross, and it was such a beautiful moment in the film that I didn't want to write anything about outlaws or bankrobbers. It's a kinda happy-go-lucky melody, but there is a darker side. Butch is this fun guy, but everything he does gets screwed up along the way. I think the song hints at that without forcing the point. Burt and I were well in sync for that one.
