Nilsson Schmilsson - Plak

ENGLISH

Harry Nilsson could be one of the more neglected but great singer-songwriters of the 20th century. John Lennon & Paul McCartney both named him as their favourite American singer in a 1968 press conference. The Monkees, Fred Astaire, the Yardbirds, and later artists such as Aimee Mann and Mariah Carey recorded his songs. But ask the average Joe about him, and they probably won't know that he was the man behind classics such as "Everybody's Talkin", "One" and "Without You".<br /> Harry had a taste for Tin Pan Alley songs & McCartney-esque melodies, but his impish wit and impressive vocal range give his songs an extra dimension. Nilsson Schmilsson was his third album and contains his biggest hit "Without You", along with other classics such as the faux-tropical song "Coconut" and the bluesy "Early In The Morning".<br /> This album is more accessible and cohesive than any of his other albums and received a number of Grammy nominations on its 1971 release, yet it still manages to keep the mischievous and slightly off-kilter humour.
