5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best..., May 27 2004

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Harry Nillson is by far the most ingenius songwriters of the 60's. He inspired so many singers and songwriters over the decades it is hard to think what we would have done without him.

I think my favorite song on this album is "You're Breaking My Heart"...I know, not well known but an absolute knee slapper!!! Totally caught me off guard.

The other songs are sure to make you smile, remembering where you were and what you were doing at the time you first heard it. "Everybody's Talkin'", "The Lord Must Be In New York City", "Cuddly Toy", etc.. are the standards we baby boomers grew up on.

I originally owned "Nillson Smillson" and played it till it wore out. Am so glad I chose to replace it with this version of the best...

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid collection., Jan 13 2003

If you are starting to get into Nillson, this is a great beginning--covering all of his hits in a pristine remastering.

If you're interested in hearing a great songwriter/singer for the first time, someone whom both Lennon and McCartney identified as the musician they admired most, then start here, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of greatest hits, Oct 27 2009

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

When John Lennon and Paul McCartney were on the Tonight show in 1968, they were asked who some of their favourite singer/songwriters were; both answered, Harry Nilsson! A superb song writer who shines even singing other peoples material. Intelligent, witty with an ear for beautiful melody, this collection covers alot of his career from" without her "to "without you"
Fun tunes like "coconut" and "me and my arrow" sublime and moody from "one" to the heartrending "remember",A great starting point to checking out his albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great C.D.
This is the best Nilsson collection, becaause it is the only collection of Nilsson with the song "Girlfriend", a tune that became a theme song for The Courtship of Eddie's Father.
