I was released from the US Army on, 26 August 1969, after spending two tours in South Vietnam as a combat medic. Therefore, I have a strong memory of the weeks following my discharge. I remember this song, Midnight Cowboy, Everybody's Talkin' At Me, A Time For Us, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, and, One Tin Soldier. All these songs were on movie soundtracks. I do remember other songs that were on the charts as well, that were entertainment related such as, Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In, Good Morning Starshine, and, Easy To Be Hard. I remember other songs on the charts as well, but that is another matter.

I remember hearing this song playing at a local movie theater back in the early 1970s while waiting for the movie to start. I had no idea where the song came from or what it was called, but it got stuck in my head and I remembered the song my entire life. Now here we are some 50 years later where technology makes it possible to whistle into your cellphone and Google Assistant will tell you the name of the song. Well, I tried doing that and it worked! Once I found out where the song came from, I learned how to play it on my harmonica. I don’t have a chromonica, but it can still be played on a diatonic harmonica (in the key of “C”) pretty well. You cannot believe the satisfaction it gave me to hear the tune that had haunted me my entire life to be coming out of my own mouth!

Both chromatic players and diatonic players get together once a year at SPAH (the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica). This year's was held in Tulsa in August (I didn't go, but some of it was held on Zoom). Next year's will be back in St. Louis, Mo where it originated over 50 years ago. Players from around the World show up - including all the major manufacturers who bring their latest offerings. I have (at last count) over 100 instruments of all kinds but play mostly CX-12's in A (I'm partial to A) and now a Psardo Goldbar chromatic - a 16, also in A (it can be made in whatever key you wish). Harmonica players for the most part are pretty fantastic people --many still gig (Mickey Raphael still plays with Willie); Jon with Blues Traveler, Steve Tyler, Huey Lewis, Will Galison is among my top favourite chromatic jazz players here in NY. Robert Bonfiglio to me is one of the best classical chromatic players. Michal Adler in Israel (she's brilliant), Far too many to list here.

Man that harmonica sound always seem to capture all of the human emotions at once; joy, pain, hope, torment, reverence, decadence you name it and John Barry captures it right here.

@ElizabethGS
@ElizabethGS Год назад
@talkitover2099: John Barry wrote the music but he isn't playing it here. That's Tommy Reilly, a well-known classical English chromatic harmonica player seen in this clip and who was hired to play on the later-released vinyl record of Midnight Cowboy. I've NO idea why John Barry did not hire Jean 'Toots' Thielemans to record the album since HE was the one who played all of the harmonica in the entire Film - that sound which was so evocative and made so many of us fall in love with the characters and the Movie itself. I can only speculate that perhaps Toots was no longer available(?) and Tommy Reilly was (both John Barry and Tommy Reilly are Englishmen so it might well have been a matter of hiring the best in his own Country at the time if Toots wasn't available?) For MY money, it's Toots playing in the film which speaks to me far more - and when I watch clips from the film, especially that last 9 minute clip on the bus going to Miami. Heartbreaking - and the harmonica was just brilliantly played. I remember a hush broken only by tears and sobs in the Movie Theater where I first saw the film.

@@Habu2 Habu2; while I thoroughly enjoyed TalkitOver's appreciation of the wonderful harmonica playing, Toots' playing wasn't a 'version' since he was the original player IN this incredible film and whose chromatic harmonica is heard through the entire soundtrack behind the characters we come to feel so deeply about. John didn't play harmonica. This is Tommy Reilly (in the video above) who is much better known as a classical harmonica player in the UK. I play chromatic harmonica and am part of this world so have come to know quite a bit about these wonderful players. Most of us think of our instrument as our 'other voice' and I think that's what it conveyed in the Film--a deeply felt 'voice' for Joe Buck and Rico I still feel Jean 'Toots' Thieleman's playing is so much more human and personal - he focused on jazz for most of his career, but could also play anything he put his mind to. Nevertheless, it was John Barry's score which allowed for all of this brilliance and emotion. I still find it astonishing that the FIRST ever X-rated Movie which wasn't expected to win since they refused to cut out a single scene to have it comply with 'regulations', was so loved and won Best Picture from the Academy, even when the producers/directors were on set in Britain (I believe) and decided not to attend since they were sure it couldn't possibly win.

Well - IN the Film, Jean 'Toots' Thielemans was the brilliant harmonica player (using a chromatic harmonica). Above, the player (on the studio-released album) is Tommy Reilly. John Barry WROTE the score, but didn't play the harmonica either in the film or on the record/cd. To me, Toots is the one who made the song so evocative. The second those first notes begin, you're taken right back into Ratso Rizzo and Joe Buck's gritty NYC world.
@ElizabethGS
@ElizabethGS 10 месяцев назад
@snowngeorgia: AND, (I meant to add this earlier), you've just expressed what most of us in the harmonica world feel about our instrument: that it IS a most under appreciated instrument which speaks volumes. Since coming back to playing it 21yrs ago) I now hear it everywhere on songs and tunes. The latest version of 'Ain't No Sunshine' featuring Ruben Studdard (an early American Idol winner) on vocals and a terrific guitarist whose name I'm blanking, features wonderful chromatic harmonica, so I wrote to ask his name: Pat Levett. Give it a listen on youtube...SO well done. :)

Watched the movie for thebfirst time when I was 25 in the middle 80s The music, the story, the atmosphere impacted me like a wrecking ball. I made a commitment to go to New York to live a life like Joe Buck without the hat and the boots of course. Worked hard and saved some money and two years later I found myself on times square. The electricity was flowing thru my body like a whip. Unforgettable. Of course the Joe Buck plan never worked but that was the least important thing. The sensations of those days will never come back. Blessed times

Easily one of the best themes ever written for film. It's interesting how Barry used pretty much the same melodic and harmonic sequence in You only live twice (tonic, going to the relative minor bVII chord, hence the "bittersweet sound"). He really liked the sound and it's pretty effective obviously.
