He was so imaginative and innovative - some of the pieces in the film are beyond belief in the way they capture the mood and the moment. He was and is the best!

I had the pleasure of hearing him in concert with the late Mulgrew Miller in Erie, PA. At intermission he sat with me at a table and told me his story. He them autographed a CD of his. I don't have the CD now but I have a great memory.

This is soul affirming!!! Brilliant and once of the saddest songs ever. Johnny Mathis added lyrics and his Soaring voice to this song on his Raindrops Keep Fallin On My Head' album, equally sad. The chorus, "Hearts are meant for caring. Life is meant for sharing. Love is all that's left in the end. Love can turn the tide for a friend."😢

Didn't know one could produce such sweet, mournful sounds from such an unsuspecting instrument. An Harmonica! WOW.

Einfach nur geniale und zeitlose Musik. Die Atmosphäre wirkt wie im Wirtshaus um die Ecke aber das was an Emotion rüberkommt lässt mich in anderen Sphären schweben.

La película es extraordinaria. Una que me dejó boquiabierto con ese frío de New York y Voight con Hoffmann extraordinarios. Una bso magnífica y un film que se hunde como un puñal en el corazón.

Brilliant. But is there a vinyl version of this anywhere?

@Svidge_123_ Ай бұрын

Excellent chamber jazz adaptation. Very different mood compared to the original. It's totally on its own. It is rare to see Toots playing 64 chromatic. Or maybe I'm hallucinating?

Jazz version is ok, but unrecognizable. Original midnight cowboy theme is way better..

@SapphicTwist 7 ай бұрын

Unrecognizable? Go over to the soundtrack version, listen four or five times, come back and tell me this isn't the theme to Midnight Cowboy. Thielman's version is very respectful towards the original.

@michaeljeanbaptiste2587 7 ай бұрын

@SapphicTwist John Barry on harmonica is true to the midnight cowboy theme. Toots Theilmans version is not as melancholy.

@gottohavesoul 7 ай бұрын

Agree with what Sapphic Twist said - you need to get checked... BTW, Toots is who is heard in the film, not John Barry - Tommy Reilly is the harmonica on the album version.

@SapphicTwist 7 ай бұрын

@@michaeljeanbaptiste2587 I mean I sorta agree, but no tune should be held captive to its original context? Yes, if you want a melancholy experience, go see the film. But this is an amazing tune, and deserves to come out now and then from under the melancholy context of Midnight Cowboy, IMO...
