I really liked his music. He's got a pretty good catalogue of songs he wrote, but Everybody's Talkin' wasn't one of them. It was written by Fred Neil. (I could only remember Fred. Had to look up the last name.)
And I think that Midnight Cowboy is the only movie in history that had 2 actors nominated for Best Actor in the same movie.
Loved his music, one of the funniest songs he recorded, He's A Rider On The Range, (Things went goo Things went bad. Good Bad, Good Bad, etc. LOL.
Sound Engineer Bruce Botnick probably had lots of his album, his two most famous songs are Happy Together by The Turtles and Riders of the Storm by The Doors.
The Doors were Bruce Botnick's personal project, he remained loyal to them till the end.
There's a reason why the 70's are considered the coolest decade. Is Geddy Lee still touring with Yes?
This song leaves me a blubbering mess everytime.

My favourite Doors song, Riders On The Storm, Jim Morrison was a great singer IMO.
The cover that saved The Eagles from oblivion. Their second album On The Border was a massive flop and the band considered breaking up. Linda Ronstadt talked them out of it. Their third album was One of these Nights.
From On the Border, Lida Ronstadt's covers Desperado.

She was my all time female singer, started with the Stone Poneys but in her later years she sang solo and did an album in Spanish that was terrific, I think her father may have been Mexican. One of her best recordings was a cover of an old standard originally done by the Nelson Riddle band called What's New. To me, this was one of the best recordings of any artist on the planet. Most of you young people may not agree but this recording is in my head all the time. Too bad she was inflicted with Parkinson's disease and had to retire.
Most of you young people? You're probably in better shape than me. There's only one other singer that compares to Linda Rondstadt: Lauryn Hill.
