Being bald, you notice when it is raining. But, because I'm free, nothing's worrying me. This B. J. Thomas version of the Hal David/Burt Bacarach song is listed as high as the number 12 song of all time. It was covered by many, and of course recorded for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. While technically recorded in 1969, it became a number one hit in 1970, thus starting off the 70's in fine fashion. For those younger folks out there in the blogosphere, songs like this dominated the early 70's Billboard hits. This version is from the BBC Top of the Pops T.V. show.
Team "I got a fever" is readying for the big climb this coming Sunday, the team is holding at number 8 out of hundreds of teams in total fund-raising which is amazing. We really appreciate all of the support- from as far away as Honolulu Hawaii! Live strong and happy! Greg

I've been bragging to everyone about all the money you and Yvonne have raised, way to go! Just got back from LaPine, no computers down at Grandpa's house. Godd to catch up on everything.
Love, Cathy
Cathy- the team deserves the praise! We are lucky to have such a great group of spirited climbers. I hope the skeeters were not out yet in Lapine. Greg
Yes tahnks to the team, great job!
Coming up on the home stretch- I will post a new entry tonight! Back to the Beatles-
No Greg, the skeeters aren't flying in Lapine yet, they usually hatch in April or May:) buzzzz
5-0!
I hate to admit it, but I really like that song! Whatever happened to him? Was he a "one-hit wonder?" Also, I don't think he was lip synching the song; I noticed a subtle difference from the original recording.
We are pumped for the climb! It's going to be a very fun day!

B. J. went on to sing a few other standards like "Hooked on a feeling" also performed by the Swedish group Blue Swede. Look that one up someday!

Love both those songs! And after seeing the video you posted, I am in love with BJ Thomas. Omg. I had no idea. What a hunk. But is that hair for real? I'll have to google Mr. Thomas!
Fabulous news about the fundraising! Team Got a Fever rocks!
