Crucial Harry Nilsson

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and this week's Crucial Vinyl is Nilsson Schmilsson, recorded in London and released by Harry Nilsson in 1971.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, he highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This week it's Nilsson Schmilsson, released by Harry Nilsson in 1971.

Don says, "At a 1968 press conference the Beatles were asked who their favourite American artist was. They replied 'Nilsson'. Harry Nilsson became great friends and drinking buddies with Ringo Starr and John Lennon.

Rarely performing in public or touring, Nilsson, with his soaring three-and-a-half octave tenor and pioneering harmony overdubs, felt more at home in the studio. This, his seventh album was recorded in London in 1971 and became his most successful, yielding three big hits.".
