Harry Nilsson was The Beatles' favourite recording artist but
terrified of performing live. Consequently, only a tiny minority of
the hundreds of fans and musicians who contributed memories to this
collection of stories ever saw him play in front of any kind of
audience. But it's the songs - "there's nothing like them"
according to Jimmy Webb - and his vocal style - "the supreme singer
of any generation" says producer Richard Perry - that keep the love
of Harry Nilsson lingering so long after his death aged just 52 in
1994. The publication of this book of memories coincides with the
50th anniversary of the release of album Nilsson Schmilsson and the
smash-hit single 'Without You'. Harry & Me started life as
anecdotes, tales, stories and adventures related by fans, friends
and musicians. But mid-way through the process of gathering the
hundreds of interviews and quotes, author and Nilsson fan Neil
Watson discovered more than three hours of never-before read
interview recordings Harry had made back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
These very personal reflections by Harry on his career have been
transcribed and added to the book and effectively make it Harry
& Me... & Harry. Illustrated with rare and personal photos
and memorabilia from the fans, Harry & Me is a beautifully
designed treasure trove of the memories of a unique character who
left an unforgettable legacy of some of the most life-affecting
songs ever recorded.
