Fred Neil - Everybody's Talkin'- Do You Ever Think Of Me

Fred Neil (March 16, 1936 July 7, 2001) was an American blues and folk singer and songwriter whose career developed in the 1960s and early 1970s, after which he left the music scene. He wrote the hits "Candy Man" (the B side of Roy Orbison's "Crying") and "Everybody's Talkin'" (Harry Nilsson), as well as the ballad "A Little Bit Of Rain" and the rock standard "The Other Side of This Life", most famously recorded by Jefferson Airplane.

It's those low notes... indescribably sexy!! I note you said he "left the music scene". What happened to him then?

I heard Fred Neil in 1970 or so from an album when I travel to CA by thumb.

I have never forgotten his voice and songs.

I will see if I can sing these songs again, as I have a similar voice as Fred's.

His version of this song is much, much better than Nilsson.

Yes, it is a mystery why Fred did not become super famous...truly one of the best voices of his time...and totally original style of singing - songwriting.

RIP Fred Neil - you were beautiful!

Each of three artists that I know of make this Fred Neil song totally theirs when they sing it: Fred Neil, Harry Nilsson, Keith Harkin. The song itself is not complete until listened to in all three interpretations.

One fine song: all three versions: Fred Neil's, Harry Nilsson's, Keith Harkin's make for excellent listening, the hallmark of an excellently written song.
