Note: "Harry Nilsson" is his real name. That's the name he was born with. Please don't update this page to state that his real name was "Nelson", because it wasn't. Some reporter in the 1970's said that once, and the mistake refuses to die. According to all my sources (which include his half-brother Gary Nilsson and his son Zak Nilsson), the family name is Nilsson. Bjimba 17:29, 2005 Mar 2 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a mention of "For the love of Harry: Everybody sings Nilsson"? Stevie Nicks sang one of the tracks and lists the rest of them. RussNelson 06:43, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
The song Everybody's Talkin' was also used on an episode of King Of the Hill, involving the character Bobby taking a journey on a Greyhound/Trailways/etc bus. Aug 7, 2006.
- I think Everybody's Talkin' has been used countless times in countless TV shows, usually with a sense of ironic comedy. It might be impractical to note every instance. Froggywentcourting 20:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Run-on, words missing
Under the heading Early Years, something has gone wrong with the sentence that begins "Harry grew up with his mother Bette..." The next sentence seems to say that Harry's Uncle John taught Harry's brother Drake to sing properly. Is that correct? Also, not clear who was left behind and who moved. Froggywentcourting
[edit] What about his songs for the documentary The Story of Eric?
What about his song Lamaze for the documentary The Story of Eric? Didn't he do the soundtrack for it? I know that he wrote "I Am Waiting" and "Lamaze" for it. Did he do additional incedental music for it also? Ferris Urbanowski was quoted in The Journal of Perinatal Education Vol. 10, No. 2, 2001 as saying, "...Harry Nilsson, composer, musician, and Lamaze parent, who wrote the music for the film."
