About the artist

Harry Nilsson

Few artists have managed to straddle the line between mainstream success and cult adoration quite like Harry Nilsson. With a voice like butter and a knack for crafting infectious melodies, Nilsson has carved out a unique place in the pantheon of rock and pop music. Born in Brooklyn in the swinging sixties, Nilsson first made a name for himself as a songwriter, penning hits for artists like the Monkees and Three Dog Night. But it was his solo career that truly set him apart. With albums like "Pandemonium Shadow Show" and "Aerial Ballet", Nilsson proved himself to be a master of blending lush orchestration with emotionally raw lyrics. But it was his seminal album "Nilsson Schmilsson" that truly catapulted him into the stratosphere. From the anthemic "Gotta Get Up" to the heartbreaking ballad "Without You", Nilsson showcased his range and talent in a way that few artists could ever hope to match. And let's not forget his penchant for the absurd, with tracks like "Coconut" and "Spaceman" showcasing his quirky sense of humor. Despite his undeniable talent, Nilsson's personal life was often tumultuous, with struggles with substance abuse and health issues casting a shadow over his later years. But through it all, his music remained a testament to his brilliance and endurance. Harry Nilsson may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on in the hearts of music lovers everywhere. Raise a glass to the man who sang like an angel and lived like a devil. Cheers, Harry.
