Beautiful orchestra & arrangements for Harry Nilsson’s exquisite, melodious voice!! ♥️♥️♥️. Too bad he never appreciated his own talent.❤️❤️❤️

[@Albron1980]

Her is a guy that was never overexposed in huge audience worldwide concerts etc and yet had millions of fans who loved and appreciated his singing of all kinds of music.This "A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night"was and still is a beautiful recording for all ages.Thanks for the memories.

[@Paulmancieri67]

[@snowfox713]

What fantastic memories I have of this album// newly married with 2 beautiful kids, great friends and living on the northern beaches of Sydney listening to music my Dad had played for years but I never appreciated. Harry changed all that. Have to save this was a game changer and long may it live in our music collections.

[@lemondrizzle6052]

I wonder who's kissing her now...Harry Nilsson sings it better than any other Artist,my dad used to sing this beautiful song to my mum....and he was killed at the age of 52....How the heck she made it to 74 i'll never know,without him,im the youngest of six kids he left behind....I feel cheated...and there's not a day goes by,that i dont think of him...and mum :((

[@allene211]

What a talent. Have all his records since 1971 and loved 'The Point".

[@jeraldcuccurullo2497]

No one could do what Harry was gifted to do so unique and such a velvet pure unadulterated sound comes out of his heart and soul! Love you Harry°!! You'll never be forgotten never!!!!

[@globalman]

What a treat to find this today. I bought this album when it first went on sale. It is a masterpiece of musical arrangement. I listened to it so often know every word and transition by heart. Harry was brilliant. Thank you.

[@emmjean1]

nobody does it better...love you always Harry..

[@loidajardines-bernal7292]

One of the most beautiful voice of the70s

[@eacIipse1]

I bought 'A touch of Smillson in the Night' at a drugstore in Minot NK in the 70s. Have always loved it. Thankyou so much for this

[@terrryc]

whoever assigned Gordon Jenkins to Harry was a genius. Long associated with Sinatra, this was a combination just as magical in its own way......

[@burnsybaby1987]

My favourite version of What'll I Do by anybody...

[@irplane]

Adam Burns Yup, its the best.

[@irisyotvat1]

my most loved artist. such a pity he died too early

[@verbaud]

Bless yer daring tender heart,Harry

[@Paulmancieri67]

Before he unfortunately blew out his voice, Mr. Nilsson was one of pop's greatest singers.

[@Dcee60]

This is a gem of a video. Thank you. Adore.

[@alanrandall49]

Very well put, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

[@timmy707707]

He has gone down in history as the greatest artist...you must be reading someone's other than your own history book...you were there, tell yourself the truth no shame..a more beautiful, clever, heartfelt batch of tunes just does not exist...celebrate!!

[@jamison_taylor_]

my new hero!

[@mrkystrky]

Harry is THE best ever. I'd like to see one of those American Idols try this. Ha!

[@thearchives]

Sheer brilliance.

[@mrkystrky]

thanx

[@lordsuperfred]

love love love-this

[@particleplease]

awesome gargle at the beginning

[@shmegamera67]

little blue birds fly i am sure....without the wings of love they canl only be heard...:)

[@JamesTKirkCobain]

Jezzus, one take he does the whole songs. and while smoking lol

[@shammaboy]

I love Harry and truly believe he could have gone down in history as one of the greatest artists ever had he not made so many bad career moves and artistic decisions. His fear of playing in front of live audiences crippled his career as much as his bad habits. Everyone wants to enjoy life to the fullest but when your blessed with all the gifts that Nilsson had, and had the platform to be heard as he did, you have a duty to dedicate yourself more seriously to your craft than he did. Its a shame

[@jzerony]

KZbin is too short a forum for me to explain what I meant. I DO love Harry and remember being absolutely dumbfounded by his vocal abilities when I first heard The Point. Nobody will EVER sing like Harry did. Even HARRY didn't sing like Harry towards the end. And sadly the truth of the matter is - booze and smoking are very likely culprits when it comes to vocular degeneration which Harry battled with. Now whether or not he was "meant to be" that - that's one of those "fate" topics nobody wins.

[@williehackitt1]

Just Magical

[@AngelBlueBand]

Maybe Jeff Lynne, he does a beautiful rendition of Stormy Weather, and some other real oldies, on one of his solo albums. I love Harry, he just went down so many roads, and was great at all of them. Even his songs in the Popeye movie were great. A bit strange, but that was Harry.

[@Whysper023]

it's foolish people who think a career is more important than living a true life

[@braddavis2]

Harry, is that You ..... wha wha where do you get all those sound effects from ? RCA RECORDS & TAPES !!!!!!!!!

[@shannyfrm]

I gotta have this album! Did I read that correctly...Timi Yuro????

[@bathetcnow]

@Whysper023 Harry knew what he was doing. "thanks for the sacrifice harry, you know this goofball meant no harm".

[@RedSunInc]

"No no no I cant continue Nilsson Shmilsson I have to do this standards album" but it still turned out one of his best.

[@spikethepoet]

To those of you interested in Harry's damage to his vocal chords, it is covered in the documentary "Who is Harry Nilsson". Not liquor, the beach yell, smoking or training. A teaser - It had to do with John Lennon. If you are a fan, you NEED to see the movie!

[@maryellenlukosevage]

i wsh you had found that sunshine

[@chrisrinelambert9418]

😘

[@jzerony]

@Sshelly34213 I respectively disagree... but there's one thing I do know for sure... and that's that there'll never be a voice as beautiful and trancending as Harry's was. I miss Harry. In fact, I think I'm going to enjoy a nice shot of Chamborg right now and listen to a little Schmillson in the Night.... here's to you Harry, wherever you are...

[@mstras]

I love Harry Nilsson and this album is sooo good. Sure it's schmaltz ... but dam'd good schmaltz

[@barpypardlo]

Original tune by Chopin

[@burnsybaby1987]

Nillson for president, to quote John Lennon. :)

[@mrkystrky]

George plays guitar...Harry's the BEATLES singer, etc........

[@JamesTKirkCobain]

This guy reminds me so much of Roy Orbison. Barely moves and this impossible voice comes out. You got to be born with that sh*t, that's something you can't teach. It comes as natural to them as walking and talking.

[@eacIipse1]

NK was a typo...... N Dak.

[@johncareyw]

Irving Berlin

[@VincesVinyl]

I hope you're joking. He was exactly as he was meant to be, if he wasn't what he was he wouldnt have been what he ended up being. Without his flaws he wouldn't have been himself.

[@Bloberry]

@Whysper023 It's foolish people who presume to know everyone's definition of "a true life".

[@ChasBeauregarde]

@mstras Not really schmaltz, The standards of the 30's, 40s and 50s are classy and Harry does 'em justice.

[@eacIipse1]

Schmilsson *

[@jzerony]

Oh Harry.... 3:58 You got cigarette smoke wafting up into your face as you sing.... if I had a voice like that I'd stay clear from the ciggies... AND the booze.... I LOVE Harry but sadly we all know how it went not too long after this. Harry's singing career was one of those ironic juxtopositions of sheer beauty and stubborn self destruction. Eventually the latter won.

[@vinnothelizard]

he has a mouth the size of the last hole on a tin whistle!!

[@Raiderfn31]

Very coked up. He did good to handle this,

[@Raiderfn31]

Harry was very fucked up here. Don't judge him on this. He was only being human. Maybe he was drunk on his talent?
