Don't have any further info on songs written specifically for this movie,
but DO know that Everybody's Talkin' was written by Fred Neil, who also
penned The Dolphins- covered by many!

Subject: The Midnight Cowboy Song
I hope this isn't revisionist history, but I think it's possible that "The
Midnight Cowboy Song" (see latest post at jonimitchell.com) was in fact
written for the film. I read an interview with Harry Nilsson (songwriting
God, IMHO: I hope Joni covers his "Remember <Christmas>" on her yule
collection) where in regard to "Everybody's Talkin' At Me" Nilsson said
that
he and several other songwriters had songs solicited for the film,
including
Joni. I can't remember who the other writers were, but would love to hear
if anyone else remembers this interview, or similar and knows if any of the
other submitted songs saw the light of day.
