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...
Harry Nilsson
Hello all.
For the few interested out there (and like me were unaware), there is a July 2019 release of new Nilsson music. Apparently there were recordings made more than 25 years ago that have recently been resurrected, and now released. I played it twice today, and think its a gem. A few of the song are classic Nilsson, with 2 written by others, and all are great to me. All in all a great great piece of work (and as a bonus it was mastered by Greg Calbi). I envy that guy so very much.
The fact that I have this is a miracle to me, since I have no idea how to find new releases the way I once was able to. But for this one, I'm truly thankful!
