The All-Time Top 100 Songs

From:  Billboard
95
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"
 B.J. Thomas
Hot 100 Peak
No. 1 for four weeks 
(1970)

The night before he recorded the Burt Bacharch-Hal David song for the film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," Thomas had laryngitis. Treated by his doctor, Thomas did five raspy takes for Bacharach and said if he had to do one more, he wouldn't have had any voice. A few weeks later, all healed, Thomas recorded the crystal-clear version that would be released as a single.
