Wins  Nominations  A vinyl LP record of the film's score was released in 1969 by Warner Bros. Records and a compact disc was released in 2006 by Collector's Choice Music. Three songs in the soundtrack were written and performed by members of The Association: "Goodbye, Columbus" (Jim Yester), "It's Gotta Be Real" (Larry Ramos), and "So Kind To Me" (Terry Kirkman). The film was the only acting role for Michael Meyers, who later became a physician. He was cast as Ron (the brother of Ali MacGraw's character) after director Larry Peerce "discovered" him at a wedding in New York's Plaza Hotel. In 1976, he published a memoir about his involvement in the film and his subsequent medical career, "Goodbye Columbus, Hello Medicine".
