Watched
a great documentary the other night, WHO IS HARRY NILSSON (And Why Is Everybody
Talkin' About Him?). Currently streaming
on Netflix.
I
never really knew who Harry Nilsson was by name, but I certainly know his
music. He sang the very famous song from
the film MIDNIGHT COWBOY, "Everybody's Talkin'" (1969), and wrote the
major hits "Without You" (1971), "Coconut"
(1972), as well as the mega-hit "One" made famous by the rock band Three
Dog Night.
He
lived life in the fast lane with drink and drugs, although he never toured and
performed live; he was best friends with the Beatles, who claimed to be his
biggest fans. In fact it was said that
if there were to be a 5th Beatle it would be Harry Nilsson.
If
you love music, please check out this documentary on this fascinating, musical
genius with the amazing and singular voice.
