American singer-songwriter famed for his wide-ranging voice and memorable covers such as "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Without You".

Born June 15, 1941 — Died January 15, 1994. "Everybody's Talkin'" (a Fred Neil cover) and "Without You" are among his best-known recordings. John Lennon produced the album Pussy Cats.

Three DeBaser reviews emphasize Nilsson's exceptional voice and interpretative skill, his fondness for covers, and a mix of strong melodies and uneven albums. Aerial Ballet and Pandemonium Shadow Show receive high praise; Pussy Cats is enjoyed for moments but judged uneven. John Lennon’s involvement on Pussy Cats is noted.

For:Fans of 1960s–70s pop, singer-songwriters, and distinctive vocal interpreters.

 3.5 without excesses.

 Nilsson's art is exquisite, his melodies are often a delightful infusion of Beatles-influenced British pop blended with a style closer to old American musicals and country.

 In "Aerial Ballet" (1968), his third work, Harry Nilsson confirms his talents: a strong songwriting vein and spectacular vocal and interpretative ability.
