:o

I watched the documentary about him on Netflix recently, and it was fascinating. Little odd to post an obit from a year that didn't have zeroes, though.

He made some great music, suprised hes not more popular.

RIP Nilsson Shmisson

1994. 1994. 1994.

This isn't even the 10-year anniversary of his death. WTHeck?

Yeah, it's 1 year short of the 20th. But Harry Nilsson is someone who deserves more appreciation anyways.

This is indeed a bizarre thread....

His profile says, "registered snoozer". Maybe, like Rip Van Winkle, he just woke up from 1994. TBH, I didn't know he was dead, so I'm grateful for the post even though it happened long ago.

Just to make sure I know what's going on. You're posting the obit on the 18th anniversary of the day that he died right?

Oops! :o Sorry guys. I thought he passed today. He was a great artist nonetheless. Registered snoozer indeed.

When you put too much lime in your coconut, you tend to forget time.
Was in a band for years that played his original version of the song "One"
It was sort of a cross between his and Amiee Mann's version, not the Three Dog Night cover.
BTW, speaking of covers, Tedeschi-Trucks band does a great version of Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin"

Bummer - one of the first songs I learned on bass was "Jump into the Fire", and I still love that song today.

+1, absolutely :cool:

His "Nilsson Schmilson" album had not one but two great bassists of the day on it: Klaus Voorman and Bernie Flowers, can't go wrong there :D

Take the Delorean back to 1994 and re-post.

Great album indeed, with 2 stellar bassists (Herbie Flowers, not Bernie).
And Everybody's Talkin' is actually a Fred Neil tune.

oops :ninja::D Was just reading about Bernie Worrell, duh.......

Fred's original version is really good, too. IIRC with the royalties from that tune and a couple others he left the music industry and went down to the Florida Keys doing some sort of research with dolphins. A self-fulfilling prophecy ;)

I kept thinking to myself "Didn't he die a long time ago?" when I saw the thread title.

Yep, I was right, for once...

Nilsson sings Newman.......Sublime.
