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" |

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

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

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

Yep, I was right, for once...
