On this day 32 years ago Harry Nilsson died from the effects of a heart attack at the age of 53. He was an American singer/songwriter and composer and was extremely well known in the 1970's. I only have one record in my collection but Schmilsson is one of those I get back from time to time. What was special about him was his voice, which spanned several octaves and made so many of his songs unique.
He also became known as a close friend of John Lennon, who praised him effusively and paved his way into the music business. In addition, his drinking binges with Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, and Alice Cooper are legendary and went down in history as the Lost Weekends.
