Free Music Notes for Everybody's Talkin': The Very Best of Harry Nilsson
Free Music Review: The Unheralded Genius of Harry Nilsson
Hit: 4 Stars
At one time, Harry Nilsson was rumored to be replacing Paul McCartney in The Beatles. That may be the way he is best remember in pop history; one of many "fifth Beatles" and as a drinking buddy to John Lennon during his infamous "Lost Weekend" phase. Or maybe as the guy who did that goofy "Coconut" song that is so many TV commercials.
One can merely sigh at this injustice. Harry Nilsson is one of a breed that rarely gets his due, that of a meticulous and eclectic/eccentric tunesmith. He moved gracefully between folk/country ("I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City") to stately, brilliant pop that often became a hit for others. Like Three Dog Night, who made "One" a signature smash. Or a fine interpretive voice, making Badfinger's "Without You" into his own signature hit.
Then there is the light-heart Harry had. He scored a children's movie (The Point!) and scored a cheery hit with "Me and My Arrow," along with loopy songs like "Daybreak" and "Coconut." Even when he was playing oddball ("Spaceman," the psychedelic hard rock of "Jump Into The Fire"), he maintained a sense of craft that made The Beatles' admiration of him easy to understand. It shows best in the sentimental final song on this collection, "Remember." Dreamy to the point of being ethereal, it is one of the best songs to never be a hit.
Which sums up Harry Nilsson's long career, before his passing in 1994. From his late 60's greats (the classic "Everybody's Talking") to his love of meticulous pop (A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night, not represented here), Nilsson was a lovable Teddy Bear of pop, and this collection catches the best known moments in one disc. The more adventurous can move up to Personal Best: The Harry Nilsson Anthology.
