I've listened to enough great music in my life to know when that certain someone comes on the scene..and sometimes it takes a little time to pass before you come to the realization: "Wow, ya know something? That person's music is timeless." Harry's singing and music is truly timeless and may very well be studied for centuries to come.

Harry Nilsson's talent is astonishing. His voice is one of the great natural untrained instruments I've ever heard. And he was no slouch as a songwriter as well. Alas, he was also one of the greatest self destructive artists who ever lived. Very sad. If you've never heard Nilsson Sings Newman, an album of Harry doing Randy Newman songs, get it. It remains one of my favorite albums of all time. Bless his heart.

I love Harry! If I knew about Harry before he passed I probably would have been a stalker. I am obessed!

BS&T and Herb Alpert both covered this tune. Harry was nothing if not eclectic. He wrote rock classics and TV theme songs, but also recorded many other people's music. His metamorphasis from sensitive singer-songwriter to late night raver was also fascinating.

@mwhit1230 God bless you. We all love Harry. I'd miss my wife too!

Nearly 40 years ago, I performed this song in Viet Nam with the USO for the troops with my band. My wife of nearly 30 years died yesterday. This morning the song came to mind and I played it. I couldn't believe the emotions it stirred! What foresight he had to write it back in 1971. I'll play it again & again until Her memory fades (probably never).
