During
golden days of Hollywood westerns, a film was released in 1969, named
as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This week's long forgotten
musical track is from this film. The song, "Raindrops Keep
Fallin' on My Head," by B. J. Thomas, became very popular and won
an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The popular film depicted
train robbery attempts of two gangsters, Butch (Paul Newman) and
Sundance (Robert Redford) and their subsequent eloping to Bolivia,
where they are still followed by law. The film won four academy
awards and in 2003, the film was selected for preservation in the
United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as
being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Enjoy!
