I just had to reply to this. How old are the idiots asking if he "partied with Lennon"? I am in my late 30's yet never liked much of my own generation's stuff, save some really good "alternative" music. Most of the artists I like, love, admire, what have you, are from other eras. Whether Classical from 1800s or the great 60s-70s stuff. How anyone doesn't know Harry Nilsson makes me so sad. I'm crying right now hearing his voice and thinking of my mum, who died when I was in my late teens. Most of what I like is influenced from her, and I ain't complaining. I was born too late.

I knew Nilsson's most famous songs, as everyone does, but very little about the man. I just watched the documentary about his life and became fascinated. What an extraordinary talent and what a bittersweet life he led. I came away with respect for his musicality and compassion for his pain. It seems as if he spent his whole life trying to get over the self-hatred caused by his father's abandonment of him. No matter how great his musical achievements, it was never enough to counter the torment. He basically destroyed himself, as if he didn't believe he was worthy of his own gifts. But, as is so often the case, he probably wouldn't have produced such amazing work if he hadn't been so troubled.

Wow. This is great because it blends the early, innocent Nilsson with the more jaded Nilsson of the Schmilsson era. It all fits together and makes sense in this video. My favorite moments: 1. The three Nilssons singing together on the Everly Brothers' "Walk Right Back." Nilsson loved the Everlys. 2. "Joy" performed as a regular Nilsson piano song instead of the country music spoof on the Son of Schmilsson album. I think i like this piano version better. 3. "1941" performed solo on acoustic guitar. Nilsson's younger half-brother said that when their father first heard that song, he was sitting at the kitchen table, and he cried. Okay, the gorillas performing "Coconut" were also pretty great.

Donald Peterson I think the 'too shy to perform' thing is a bit of a myth. He did perform in public on a number of occasions and showed no nerves or stage fright at all. I believe it's more about the fact that he didn't WANT to do it. As Micky Dolenz says in the "WIHN" documentary "He just didn't want to be on at 8". I also think he liked the idea of creating a mythology around himself. It was a concious decision for him to be known initially just as "Nilsson" rather than his full name; his early albums don't really show his face in a lot of detail - again a deliberate decision; and I believe the thought that he could enter the public's conciousness as the guy 'who doesn't perform' appealed to him. As he says in the Jackson Braider interview elsewhere on this channel "That's a neat one".

+Donald Peterson When the Beatles came to New York in 1964, Ed Sullivan asked who in America they would like to meet - They all said Harry Nillson (ˆ◡ˆ)

+Reggie Baker Not exactly, LOL. When asked at the launch of Apple who their favorite American artist was, Lennon and McCartney both said "Nilsson". He wasn't making records yet when The Beatles first invaded. :-)

Mr Nilsson has been a friend for almost all my life...didnt have to meet him to have him stay with me through lonely nights...so "As Time Goes By" "Remember" what a "One" and a "Joy" and while "Everybody's Talkin' " about "Coconuts" " I look up and sing "The Moonbeam Song" for "Without You" what would have been "The Point".

I was a fan of Harry before I even knew who Harry was. His music has been in my life since I can't remember, and it took a long time to connect the dots that Harry was responsible for all this amazing music.

This is incredible, one of my favorite videos on all of KZbin, and it's the closest thing to seeing him in concert that exists . . . but he's not playing in front of an audience here, or anywhere, because he never toured or played live concerts. This is all explained by the poster I thought I'd just say it again in the comments. This is the closest we'll ever get to live Nilsson.

Yes. It definitely shows a musical genius' humor and wit. Also the dubbed in trio on another song, with the subtlest gestures, and audience reactions. BRILLIANT!

As somebody who still writes compulsively in the studio but (for many reasons) can't get out in front of people very often, this is hugely inspiring. Thank you for putting it together. Harry is a personal hero of mine and these rarities are very special.

Great stuff. I loved the Arrow music when I was a kid in the '70's. I watched the Point with my daughter and she loved it. Forty years later and his music and his vision have maintained their appeal. Nilsson's best stuff is timeless. I wondered if I should include the Lime in the Coconut's gorilla costumes in this praise but then they seem so bad, that they become good too. Harry could do no wrong in 1971.

I first came across Harry on a documentary by Alan Yentob. I find his beautiful voice and music resonates some where deep in the soul .
