A Touch of Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson never did a concert tour, never seemed able to focus his talent, and appeared to lose interest in his career long before that talent was exhausted. But he was a charming, engaging singer and song writer, a pleasure to the ear, a natural born wise guy and he deserves to be remembered.  

Among the ironies of Harry Nilsson's career was that he was a gifted songwriter whose biggest hits were written by others.  This song, written by Fred Neil, was one of those gems.


These clips are from a TV special Nilsson did on the BBC in 1972.
