This was the very first song i learn the words to..can't remember how old i was..but my dad recorded me on his reel to reel tape back in the early 70's
There is a story, not sure if its true or not, that goes that Thomas did not know the water works were going to fall in his song. So when they did, he stuck it out like a trooper and didn't show any thing wrong, but in fact he was very mad about getting wet and made certain that Ed's prop department knew his feelings.

OMG! My husband has long sideburns like that! I'm trying to get him to shave them off but I guess he's in one of his retro moments. He laughs and says that old styles never fade away. Just keep coming back. God help me!LOL!
Great, great song and rendition!! I heard the other versions by BJ thomas and by other singers on Youtube. This is the best one. Love it so much that I listen to it repeatedly. Just accidentally discovered it a few days ago. hahaha
I had a little music box I kept winding up when I was probably 6 or 7 that played this tune...always hoped I'd find another one someday. Then I found this! Thanks for posting! Love the song. Love the video. Smilin' happy now! :D
i looked for this song for a long long time ......... and i remember accidentally that this song i heard in The In-Laws movie ..... and now i listen to this song and enjoy .... my favourite song
Takes me back to my youth. The best years of my life. All I have is those memories and YouTube to help me remember. Gee thanks so much for posting this awesome song. Just love the video.
I've been hoping to replace my old B.J. Thomas LPs with CDs or digital downloads, but everything available is rerecorded. I don't know the whole story, but it must have been a really bad contract. I hate for artists to lose the rights to their own original recordings.
This was my favorite song of 1969. I played the 45 record all the time. Heard it on the radio all the time too. It went to #1. Still sounds as great to me today as it did back then. Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Arranged by Burt Bacharach and sung with B.J. Thomas' great, expressive voice. With a winning team like that it's no surprise that the song has attracted the ears of many listeners and is still well loved today. They don't make great songs like this anymore.
@MikePYaDig Hello friend,....that is a really touching story!! WOW,...lewybody disease....man,...my grandmother died of that very same disease too! I am so sorry to hear that!! Yes,...music from the 50's and early 60's and some of the 70's and 80's are great!! I hope you do well in life!!
I think The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were stupid to award Midnight Cowboy Best Picture in 1969. butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid should have won; This is why.
I could go to war and pass throught the most horrendous moments of my life, experiment the greatest depression, be hopeless, and this song would fix it all in 2 minutes.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
One time when I was in 3rd grade, our teacher brought this record in and played it for us in music class. At the end when the trumpet solo starts, we all jumped up and started dancing around. LOL!!! The teacher just shook her head, and stood up and started dancing right along with us! What a great memory this brings!
@MikePYaDig I feel you..I lost my Mom to cancer last year.She had the album and played it a lot when I was small in 1970.I think it cheered her up..one of her favorites
and I feel sorry for this new stupid generation that they didn't enjoy this heavenly music ..! right now everybody's blind in the new shit of lady gaga and bieber
This song was always on the radio when it came out. It was an AM radio classic. I could not afford an AM/FM clock radio so I had a small AM transistor radio to listen to these classics. Now I am using a 1200 dollar IMAC to watch the video. How times have changed.
song makes me think of spiderman 2, when he gave up being spiderman and just stopped caring. it reminds me to free myself of my worries/troubles sometimes
