Netflix: "Who Is Harry Nilsson? (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?)"

[AtomicKitten]

There is a wonderful documentary on Harry Nilsson on Netflex (also on HULU apparently). He was an extraordinary talent as songwriter and singer. He had a close relationship with John Lennon and Ringo Star. Trivia: Mama Cass (1974) and Keith Moon (1978) died in Harry's flat in London both at the age of 32.

From Rolling Stone: The underappreciated singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson (perhaps best known for two songs he didn't write, "Without You" and "Everybody's Talkin,'&quot gets his due in this moving, lovingly crafted documentary. The film finds both humor and pathos in Nilsson's mix of quirky talent and self-destructive tendencies – he refused to play live, partied perilously hard and blew out his voice while trying to impress his close friend and collaborator John Lennon in the studio.
