Midnight Cowboy is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. John Barry composed the score, winning a Grammy for Best Instrumental Theme, though he did not receive an on-screen credit. Fred Neil's song Everybody's Talkin' won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male for Harry Nilsson. John Schlesinger chose the song as its theme, and the song underscores the first act. Other songs considered for the theme included Nilsson's own I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City and Randy Newman's Cowboy. Bob Dylan wrote Lay Lady Lay to serve as the theme song, but did not finish it in time. The movie's main theme, Midnight Cowboy, featured harmonica by Toots Thielemans, but on its album version it was played by Tommy Reilly. The soundtrack album was released by United Artists Records in 1969. The title music from Midnight Cowboy and some of the incidental cues were included in the documentary ToryBoy The Moviein 2011. John Barry's version of the theme song, used on the soundtrack, charted at No. 116 in 1969.
