Harry Nilsson

The keyboard player and drummer of a band I was in during the 70s also were part of a stage production of The Point...a brilliant show...and the bonus was we got some theatre people to party with.

 My grandkids love The Point.!

Great documentary, and although singing isn't a quantifiable skill (best ever? Well...) I can agree he was one of the best I've ever heard, and although prone to some whacky behavior (to put it mildly) his stuff utterly holds up. A fave album for years has been "Nilsson Sings Newman" which I often force people to listen to and very enthusiastically recommend. I have pretty much all of his stuff including a 3 CD set from BMG in 2000 called "Legendary Harry Nilsson" which has 2 sides of 17 cuts and one of 16...lots of Harry...although missing "You're Breaking My Heart" since the perceived obscenity would seemingly harm people's fragile brains...hmm...

 The documentary " Who is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everybody Talking About Him "  is really good if youre a Harry fan

The 5th Beatle comes out with a white album. Fitting.

FYI, I just looked up the title of the new release. Here it is:

Harry Nilsson - Losst and Founnd"

Jellyfish wrote and recorded a song that sounded exactly as if Nilsson had written it (he had distinctive and characteristic chord sequences and melodic intervals he favored). I met Harry shortly before his passing, and told him about it. He told me he had heard the same from someone else. I'll have to try and find the song.

Nilsson may be one of the most underrated artists of the rock era!  Thanks for the tip; will seek these out.
