Midnight Cowboy Soundtrack- Main Theme

[ferark]

Sometimes all you gotta do is just listen....

[1968cosmos]

This was the first movie that a soundtrack moved me so much that I couldn't get enough of...love harmonicas!

[00leafhopper00]

just a terrific composition - anyone know who plays the harmonica in this piece?

[veteranbullfighter]

@00leafhopper00

It could be Toots Theilmans, but I'm not sure.

[fritzquarar]

@veteranbullfighter Yeah, unmistakably Toots.

[DanforddanMusicshop]

[SAGITARIUSDFMSN]

[mayhorse66]

I have always loved this piece of music and now I'm grown up I'm realising just how many that I love have been written by John Barry - what a talent!

[zottepedj]

so chill when you're high

[polopain]

This tune fits so well into the movie - brilliant film - brilliant actors - brilliant sound track - brilliant story - if you haven't watched it already - do so. One of the few films that DID actually deserve an Oscar!!!

[hbnerfful]

@polopain good isnt it I love it

[drummerboy1951]

I watch this movie on tv and I like the movie, but loved the song.

[soldoutrules]

a dog barking at 0:53 ?

[naturelover1957]

The first time I heard this song I instantly fell in love with it.I was 11 years old.It's still one of my all time favorites.It makes me cry every time I hear it.

[dewaynecullen]

John Barry was my grandfather :) Now my brother is working on projects in Hollywood in the composing industry and films.

[AverageCabbage]

@dewaynecullen Just out of curiosity: What do you do for a living?

[dewaynecullen]

@AverageCabbage hey AC - I am a security advisor for the entertainment industry. I am presently getting ready to go on the road with country singer on tour. Fun work but on the road alot. I wish I had the talent as my brother and uncles all had. Take care.

[JiffySpook]

@dewaynecullen That is wild! Your grandfather was a genius, truly.

[Kaneluck]

@dewaynecullen what an honor. XD



[MrNeilwarwick]

this is almost certainly the finest piece of film music that i have ever heard, brilliantly haunting and unforgettable. Beautifully written by one of the greats J.B. Rest in peace you will be sorely missed.

[DRD064]

I second that: RIP John Barry. You were a greatly talented composer, arranger, musical director, and conductor. Your passing is a sad loss.

[bigdoughnut120596]

R.I.P John Barry, we're sad to see you go...

[hbnerfful]

@bigdoughnut120596 yea he was only 77

[frostybollix]

I always thought it was Larry Adler, mostly because he's the most well known name when it comes to the harmonica. In actual fact there were two harmonica players: a Dutch guy Toots Thielemans played on the film sound track. But on the album release it was a Canadian bloke called Tommy Reilly. It's probably Reilly that you hear in this video.

[benstudd]

sad to see john barry go. Great theme this.

[derekswan144]

Anyone else hearing a dog barking around 0.55?

[blucinemafilms]

Such a classic film. I remember watching it as trilogy of features at a drive in when I was young. ...

[rongenman]

that is a great song.....what was the movie...oh yeah, dog day afternoon.....5 stars...

[Stemax1960]

Who'd have imagined such a beautiful melody could be played on a harmonica?

[quisquilloso95]

De las mejores películas que he visto. Aparte la música, la mabientación y la actuación de los artistas fue sensacional. 15 años tenía cuando la vi en 1969.

¡Cuánto tiempo, caray!

[1blondietuco1]

i love this theme..do you mind if i post a video response???
