I know Coconut on the guitar. Helped me through so many dark times.

[@davidschlenstedt289]

To me one of the best and somehow most underrated singer and songwriters! ❤

[@barryprofessionalmusicianc832]

Oh I know his name,alright! Since he first appeared on the Ghost and Mrs. Muir as a singer when his car broke down in a rainstorm ,and asks Mrs.Muir to use her phone. I was 10 yrs old and "hooked" on his singing and music ever since. Hes an original! Humor and music my two loves,next to my wife! R.I.P Harry Nilsson

[@markwilliamwestonwilson1503]

He was a fantastic musician and vocalist and sang Without you that Pete Hamm wrote brilliantly

[@waycnf7229]

Tom wrote the chorus! But Pete was the more talented one of the two! I love Badfinger and goddamn Pete was so talented!

[@jimbanda]

I've been a fan for a long long time , he may be still with us were it not for booze and tobacco , but so could many more Stars and everyday people. His songs transcend generational evolution of music , no matter the genre or trends. Legend.

[@rodhanson7112]

Harry had a great singing voice and i have a vinyl LP of his called Nilson shmilsion and it has all of his songs on it

[@kennethprice4292]

That soundtrack album was my very first album and I still have it. 👍

[@jabberbone1]

I don't know any of his songs, but I know his name because he used to hang out with John Lennon.

[@bobhillstrom4915]

I am 73 and I have been a huge fan of Harry's for over 25 years. With my son and grandson I have purchased "The Point" and sat with them to look at and hear "The Point"....it is kind of like a cartoon with fantastic songs. The big hit was "Me and My Arrow" I would highly recommend this to all parents and grandparents

[@bobhillstrom4915]

thanks

[@robertafierro5592]

Sounds like you have a LOVELY FAMILY! You are so Blessed.

not nearly enough people know about big daddy schmilsson.

[@Mikevdog]

I knew his name and his songs

[@rustybearden1800]

I dare ANYONE to find a better, more thorough, more honest, more well researched and produced music documentary. Breaks my fucking heart every time I watch it - Harry is amazing! (I'm speaking of "Who is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everyone Talking About Him")

[@barbsturgeon]

Ive only watched to the part where the record producer boasts that he only paid Harry $50.00 to write songs for them and they made lots of money from it. I don't think I can watch anymore of this. That in itself is nothing to boast about and a core problem we have in our society that needs to change. Pay people fairly and quit using their skills to benefit yourself and your pocket book. Well, all I can say now is that Harry is in a much better place and certainly rewarded now for his contributions. He has heart.

[@sergiosaunier]

I think you're overreacting to what was said. He mentioned paying Nilsson 50 dollars a week and that that was a somewhat steep sum. In any case, if you stopped watching it, I assure you it'd be worth giving it a second try; it's really entertaining!

[@tintinjailhouse1312]

And THIS had been here In 1 mins good work fams love ya all sooo Much I do !!

[@SearedBite]

the most unbelievable fact about this guy is that he's not british

[@PinkyJujubean]

Him and John Lennon were once kicked out of a comedy club for heckling the Smothers Brothers lol

[@funkydankspliff]

While super drunk and coked out I’m assuming lmao

[@zakcorrigan5142]

The Troubadour

[@davidrice3337]

that is funny -

[@PinkyJujubean]

@@funkydankspliff according to legend they had been slamming Brandy Alexanders all night

[@BillMcGirr]

@@PinkyJujubean As Harry once famously said… “Brandy Alexander is brandy and MILK… for those of you that don’t know folks.” And of course Lennon famously stuck a feminine napkin to his forehead that night. I would assume they were completely 😊wrecked.🤣👍🥃

[@utopianna]

Harry's last name at birth was Nelson. The version "Nilsson "is Swedish meaning "Victorious". Nil also means zero, nothing. I can't help but make the connection of Nil's Son who abandoned him at the age of 3. A child who went from nobody's son to victorious. The "You Don't Know His Name..." title might be a bit inaccurate and yet in some way apropos.
