This song made me cry the first time I heard it...I was 8....and that still hasn't changed....one of the few songs that reaches into the soul.....Mariah Carey did a great cover also.
He didn't like to perform live and by the 1970's he was mainly a studio artist. He did not tour to support the albums recorded then. Nilsson was a great artist but somewhat of a reclusive oddball.
Well you know - he looks shattered so yeah I guess he is miming because the voice belies his appearance. It is one of those rare occasions where the cover is better than the original and I think the guys from Badfinger acknowledged that
Without You" is a song originally recorded by Badfinger for their album No Dice (1970), and written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans and produced by Geoff Emerick. Badfinger's recording of the song, which is more brusque than its successors' versions, languished as an obscure album track until it was noticed a year later by Harry Nilsson.
The year was 1972 and her name was Sharon. She was my first love. What a girl. I did live without her but I'll never forget her, thanks to Nilson. (ok with credit to Badfinger.....No Matter What)
Totaaly agree. Nilssson is the only person who can ever sing this song. It's not fair that others have covered this song all these years later and been given all the credit for something that was never theirs.
You mean Neilsson should get the credit for a song that isn't his?! We all know the story of Badfinger and 2 suicides partly because of this song. There is only one band who should get credit for this masterpiece. Unfortunately they aren't around to recieve it.
And whoever said Neilsson wrote this and sold it to badfinger should just leave.
The song called Without you is not Mariah Careys it is Harry Nilssons if u dont believe put his name on youtube and ull se it as old 80's rofl AND EVERY ONE THINKS THAT IT IS MARIAH CAREYS SONG. IT"S NOOOOT !!!
Summer 72. She was my first love and this song was "our very special song". But there was no happy end for this early teenager love. However, this song brings me back to this innocent love affair of summer 72 every time i hear it..
Every time I hear this song makes me very sad just to think in How a Magnificent talent like Badfinger just faded away not being recognized as true , Honest, fresh songwriters, Making a tragic end for the band.
The song in Goodfellas, when Henry is being followed my the eye in the sky, is titled Jump into the Fire" ... it is also from Harry Nilsson -- and what kick ass tune it is.
Nope, Harry was lip-synching.The last time he could come remotely close to these notes was 1973. Listen to the Nilsson Schmilsson version - it's identical.
One of the greatest pop vocalists and songwriters of all time.
great song by bad finger. Unfortunately they didn't live to see and hear it been sang by the world artists today. Still prefered the original track by bad finger. Wish they are alive today and see how their songs been popularized by harry nilsson
Gosh, it´s so strange to put a face to this amazing classic song! He´s not cute but what a voice! Thanks 4 posting it, I thought that I wasn´t going to find it!
I've never heard a version of this song that I didn't like--Badfinger, Heart, Mariah Carey (not counting any of the 'Idol' shows)--but this, for me, is the finest version. Romantic, wistful and soulful. It's been among my favorite performances of any song in its genre since I first heard it, so many years ago.
guys i only remember harry nilson young but what happend to him.?? i think there is smth wrong with his face isn't it? i like harry nilson's version a thousand times more than mariah carrey's/ this song is his song.
Colin Blunstone recorded this but Mariah Careys version was released first. I think that with the voice that Colin has we would of had a true rival to Harrys hit .
Fat lip-synching asshole is a genius you moron. Fabulous songwriter with a beautiful voice. He had more talent in the hairs shed from his bull nuts than you could ever dream of...
The original hit song with a great and original artist John Lennon admired so much to the point to produce him a record ("Nilsson Schmilsson's Pussy Cat"), but it was 1974 and the ex Beatle had been left by his lovely Yoko and that "lost weekend" ights found them both drinking heavy in LA bars that Nilsson couldn'd reach a note next day at the studio but, still, Harry surprised me always as a fantastic singer (listen to "Many Rivers To Cross", a jewel in that album).
sorry but the 2 main guys from Bad Finger wrote and recorded this and it was forgotten until Harry Nillson found the sheets on a piano and just started playing it; as he played, rearranged it anded the chorus and launched it into eternity of classics. Lennon had nothing to do with it. Harry died of heart failure later that year. The 2 guys from Bad Finger died within 2 years of writing the song by suicide. They said that Harry's version was much better and the definitive version. And it is.
Pete Ham hung himself in 1975 and Tom Evans hung himself in 1983. Harry Nilsson died of heart failure in 1994. Tarff26 hit it on the head, get your facts straight before you post a comment.
Yeah, Pete Ham and Tom Evans hung themselves after suffering major financial strains. This song was supposed to be credited to them but their management ripped them off, took the song away from them and gave it to Nilsson to popularize.
I do apologize, i am so very sorry, i was just into the song, you know, involved, as I read the comments, i didnt think about you answering a comment, i just didnt want to break out of my tranquility listening to the song, and then face the facts at that time,
i do apologize, its just such an amazing song. i have been really bothered, feeling guilty about my comment, you are absolutely rite, i need to know the facts before posting a comment.
i dont think this is live... i think he is appearing live but its a recording playing in the background like brittany spears once did and got cought when the recorded broke.
Harry did a fantastic version of this song, as much as I loved Badfinger his is much better, bring back the old music because there just simple isn't any now.
Now THIS is how this song should be sung. Harry was bloated and likely sick by this time. It is evident he is lyp-syncing. He was still the best. The man was simply amazing.
Yes we all know it's a badfinger song! Duh. and when they came into the studio and heard Harry they even knew it was how it should be done!
And yes we also know that he is lip syncing, but not cause he only sounds good in the studio... he used to sound good live! But look at him! He blew his voice out several years before this.
Am I the only one here that realizes that he's lipsyncing? I'm a big Harry fan myself, but it's obvious that's the record you're hearing here - not his voice. .....I'm not even really sure that's Harry either. Looks more like John Candy.
well, yeah, he's lipsyncing. He had to be in his late forties here...he died when he was 52, so I'm thinking things were getting hard by this time. What an amazing talent he was. Still love him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how can any of you idiots say "THIS is THE version" ?? are you really that dumb? this is a good version, and i'm glad the guy made the song, however, mariah carey is probably the greatest vocalist of all time, and she sang this song at least 10 times better than this....whoever says different is either too stubborn to admit they're wrong, or deaf
You prick. Carey is an excellent technical singer with great range but she is a souless bitch with no artistic talent. As Bill Hicks says...(she is a) 'sucker of Satans cock. Harry sings with passion, with emotion and with raw talent. He was an atrist with true value. RIP
To be sure, this is a wonderful pop ballad (thanks, Badfinger). But has anyone noticed that he is lip-syncing this to a studio recording? Harry's health was bad during the end and live TV performances back then were - well - not always live. I really prefer the Cd or cassette on this one.
Ibroke my heart to this song in March 1972 when i was 17 and my 14 year old girl friend Teresa Brooks said she did not want to go out with me . But 36 years later we have been married for 35 years
.Broke my heart to this as well....I was 16 and he was 21....and I never have got over him.....Have only just been able to lisen to this song after all these years.
joons2 - I hear ya - this song came out when I was in Vietnam - yeah, the war raged even in the early 70's - and this was a big hit with the guys - probably made a lot of us think of the girl that isn't writing....and maybe some we broke up with. Everybody gets hurt some time - and I am sorry for your sadness - maybe we all get to get over it before the end comes. Good luck.

Of course, it was the band Badfinger that wrote and recorded this song originally. =)

how can any of you idiots say "THIS is THE version" ?? are you really that dumb? this is a good version, and i'm glad the guy made the song, however, mariah carey is probably the greatest vocalist of all time, and she sang this song at least 10 times better than this....whoever says different is either too stubborn to admit they're wrong, or deaf

You prick. Carey is an excellent technical singer with great range but she is a souless bitch with no artistic talent. As Bill Hicks says...(she is a) 'sucker of Satans cock. Harry sings with passion, with emotion and with raw talent. He was an atrist with true value. RIP

There is more to a song than just power. His voice is quite haunting and very emotional. That's what makes this version so special.

Mariah Carey? Are you kidding me? BWAHAHAHAHAHA... You kids are sooo stupid. Period.
This man is the man who really made this song pop out. A true passionate artist. MC is just another hollywood whore singer, im sorry.

To be sure, this is a wonderful pop ballad (thanks, Badfinger). But has anyone noticed that he is lip-syncing this to a studio recording? Harry's health was bad during the end and live TV performances back then were - well - not always live. I really prefer the Cd or cassette on this one.

joons2 - I hear ya - this song came out when I was in Vietnam - yeah, the war raged even in the early 70's - and this was a big hit with the guys - probably made a lot of us think of the girl that isn't writing....and maybe some we broke up with. Everybody gets hurt some time - and I am sorry for your sadness - maybe we all get to get over it before the end comes. Good luck.
