Harry Nilsson - She's Leaving Home

[mousepotato66]

I'm on a Nilsson kick tonight, being a long time lover of the "Harry And..." album. I never realised how entwined he was with the Beatles -and me a Liverpudlian! I'm over the moon at finding this track and video you've posted. Thank you SO much.

Nilsson was the 5th Beatle- he was friend's with all of them and Ringo said the worst thing that happened to him beside's the death's in the group is that Harry died before him. Watch the video of Harry to see the torn up performer that he was and the greatnest that he was!

I never noticed before how much Nilsson's voice could sound like that other 70's singer-songwriter icon, Paul Williams.

Dear MFYF;

Your screen name is wonderfully appropriate. Thanks for this wonderfully, but sadly obscure track.

That voice is so controlled . Perfect pitch.

[BagpipeHustler]

not surprised Lennon and Nilsson didn't make a post-Beatles awesome music group

I meant the original pandemonium shadow show album from 1967. She's leaving home is from that. Thanks for that play list though. I haven't heard most of those before.

[MusicForYourFunk]

@MusicForYourFunk yeah it's a really great album, I have it in case it hasn't been posted yet...

i recall Nilsson recorded this in '67, the year Sgt. Pepper came out. It's a fine brass choir arrangement, with nice harmonics on the final verse.

I like his repeating "Bye bye" three times at the end, followed by a sweet "amen" by the horns. It sentimentalizes the story even more than McCartney's original.
