El Condor Pasa by Simon and Grfunkel?!
Question: This has been driving me crazy after hearing this song all day. There was a book that was made into a movie back in the late 60s early 70s that used this song. It somehow involved a sailboat and possibly a solo crossing of an ocean. The end showed the boat sailing off and this song playing. Anyone know the name of the movie/book? I've been searching for an hour and cant quite seem to come up with it.

Great song. This is a long shot, but there was a movie called Dove (or The Dove) in the early 1970's about a young man sailing solo. It was based on a true story. That could be the one you're looking for.
The young man was named Robin Lee Graham.
