Seriously talented dude. Harry Nilsson was called his "favorite American band" by John Lennon. Little did we know what infamous exploits would occur by the two after John Spilt from Yoko for a bit.

But back to the multi-instrumentalist, superb! vocalist, songwriting genius....
HARRY NILSSON...





Harry is also playing the drums on this barn burner...

Harry never could resist a little controversy and like Neil Young, thumbing his nose at his label and some fans....


You're Breaking My Heart (so F#@K you)

ah "Spaceman"..love that song by Nils...just my kind of song...
I always thought that he led Peter Schilling to do this one about "spacemen" I think back in the 80's but it looks like it was Bowie's Major Tom...

Bowie & Elton John have said they had gotten their inspiration from Tom Rapp's original Rocket Man....
