Paul Newman and Rain drops keep falling on my head ....

I had a friend called Siddhartha Sharma in MHOW. We both loved English oldies. One day on an old gramophone we heard Englebert Humperdinck sing "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head". In later years I found out that there is a B. J. Thomas version of it in the "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".

This song was written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for the movie and won the Oscar for the best original score. It's a wonderful uplifting song. It was even in the soundtrack of Forrest Gump and Spiderman II.

'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' was a wonderful wonderful movie and here is ....

my tribute to the Gentleman of Hollywood, Paul Newman, who passed away a few days ago. Since the day I first saw this movie and I heard this song I have been a big fan of his work. The song's success should also be given to Newman and Katharine Ross. Who made it adorable with their innocence and charm.
