Here's a companion posting, a nice clip of Nilsson on a Smothers Brothers Show. In this clip, he plays the song he wrote and *hoped* would be used for the movie. Schlesinger rejected it in favor of "Everybody's Talking" http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=7542

Damn, I still haven't seen Midnight Cowboy. *updates to-do list*

Nilsson was a genius songwriter, but it's a little sad that he's best known for this song (written by Fred Neil) and Without You (the Badfinger song). Go here to find some of his other songs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000631E5/

Aw crap. My favorite Nilsson song and it cuts through me like a knife every time.

Great tune, from an even greater movie. Still, and probably forever more, the only X-rated movie to win the Best Picture Oscar (tm). Still have the Criterion release of this on Laserdisc.
