A Real Treasure!

Harry Nilsson had a voice like No Ones! He could sing any style of music, as proven on "Nilsson Schmilsson". He wrote songs that were comparable to the great classic songwriters of the 30's and 40's. He seemed to be caught between the times...writing classic sounding songs, when that style had been overshadowed by Rock & Roll. Yet, that is one of his most endearing qualities. He maintained his integrity as an artist, doing what he felt inspired to do, whether the world accepted it or not. I sincerely cannot think of anyone who comes close to the overall talent that he had. If you've never really listened to him...do yourself a favor, and get ahold of his lesser known ( not commercial hit's ) like "City Life", "Maybe", "Together", or any others from those albums. It will be a treat, I promise. However, it will put you in the company of those of us who truely grieve the loss of such an Artist.
