Artist:Harry Nilsson
Song:Without You
Album:All Time Greatest Hits
Harry Nilsson was one of the more enigmatic figures to become a pop star. He became popular because John Lennon was a big fan. And though Nilsson was a good songwriter, his biggest hits were written by others. As a writer, he had a huge hit with One for Three Dog Night. This weepy ballad Without You was huge but was written by Ham & Evans from Beatles clone group Badfinger. His other hit from Nilsson Schmilsson, Coconut, was a lot more representative of Nilsson's material. He's pretty much forgotten now because Harry went and died on us and his later albums weren't very good anyway. This is a good collection but I believe BMG has issued a box set too.
