[@rareblues78daddy]

This man was a banker. He could have stayed a banker, but he chose music. Thank GOD he chose music.

[@tingting-mf3nn]

he wasn't a banker, he worked as a computer programmer at a bank.

That second song was beautiful and a nice surprise.

[@BS-hq6iz]

Brings back so many memories of watching this a month ago

[@jdw99]

Wow, I've *heard* Harry playing guitar before, but I've never *seen* it. Cool.

[@rockerchickomg30]

I prefer the acoustic version of this song. I suppose it's a matter of opinion, or what you heard first, but there's something so haunting about him and the guitar that just gets me every time. This is my favorite version, despite the show's interruptions.

It's a clip from "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." He's the ghost, unseen by everyone but Mrs. Muir.

Harry Nilsson on the Ghost and Mrs.Muir.

[@Debunker246]

wonderful post...He survives through his music..

[@slimshine953]

@floatingdon When he was young? What do you mean? The man had a great voice throughout his entire career.

[@frostyfrost4094]

If you compare his voice after the long weekend with John Lennon you can hear he damaged his voice this reflects in the album that john assisted upon

[@Biboche23]

The feelings i have for this song and this extraordinaire artiste are beyond love love ♥️

[@crazycool1128]

did nilsson ever record the second song?? whats the name of the song??

[@BS-hq6iz]

crazycool1128 it's called if only

[@floatingdon]

Wow. This makes me sad that I never watched The Ghost and Mrs Muir when I was growing up. Harry Nilsson had a gorgeous voice when he was young.

[@saintcruzin]

Harry's a baby!! He was great at all his stages!!

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

I've never heard the second song before, what is it?

[@halnwheels]

What a treasure this is. Good find... great post. Thanks

[@windnchgo]

The show was "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". I remember watching this episode and being completely mesmerized by this singer... It wasn't for about another three years that I connected the performance with the artist Harry Nilsson and I have been a fan ever since.

[@frostyfrost4094]

So very true and still remember coming home from school watching this episode . Such a pure voice

[@jdw99]

Hey, that's the dude from Knight Rider!

[@markhuff6849]

What a fine song "Without Her" is!! I didn't care for his slick, studio version of it, but if you search for "Nilsson on BBC" he does a wonderful acoustic version with the guitar. (Without the interruptions from this sitcom.) A lot of other singers covered it at the time, but his is the best by far!

[@s.t.3181]

100% Exactly, the studio version is much too fast and lacks the emotion of the stripped down version of that BBC version.

[@slimshine953]

Thanks very much, and indeed he does survive as long as the music is with us. ;~}

[@anthonysmith9366]

makes you realise how pointless our ordinary word,s are. I,m not great but I,m also not average. no disrespect but how do people in plain job,s with dull lives get through this life. what are they thinking? I just don,t understand how joe blogs gets through the day, every day.

[@anthonysmith9366]

i think his real name is Scandinavian like Christenson or similar, he changed it to nilson, i,m quite sure.

[@damarpemaq]

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

[@crazycool1128]

why did a man suddenly appear at 0:31??

[@iadorenewyork1]

That's the ghost on this sitcom.
