Product Description

Amazon.com Harry Nilsson wrote hits for other people (including the Monkees, Three Dog Night, and the Modern Folk Quartet) yet had his biggest hits with covers of other folks' material (Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'," Badfinger's "Without You"). So it makes a perverse kind of sense that his most enduringly popular album is a collection of pre-World War II standards. With Sinatra arranger Gordon Jenkins on hand for traffic control, Nilsson wraps his lungs around such time-honored classics as "Makin' Whoopee!," "It Had to be You," and "As Time Goes By." Although Aerial Ballet and Nilsson Schmilsson are his finest outings, this album is extremely enjoyable on its own terms. --Dan Epstein

Customer Reviews

****** - Verified Buyer

l have been a Nilsson fan for as long as I can remember. I had Nilsson Schmilsson and it was a favorite. In that I'm a dinosaur, I had it in vinyl! I also had a tape of it. Does anyone else remember the days we would buy a vinyl album and then play it only once, while we made a tape of it? So many albums that were played only once! But I digress, as always.I decided to buy this CD because I was familiar with all but "Lazy Moon" but then I read that no one had recorded that song since 1909 and I'm not that old! I wasn't aware that Harry was so far ahead of his time. I'd be willing to bet that he was the first artist of his time to record an album of standards. My father, from whom I inherited my love of all kinds of music, had a Perry Como album that featured many of these songs. Some of the others, I knew from my Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett albums.If you're a Sinatra fan, you can't miss the Gordon Jenkins' influence on the album. The man was a genius and his expertise made the album all the better, without a doubt.I believed that no one could top Tony Bennett's version of "What'll I Do" but I must admit that Nilsson version is better. He sounded like he was older than his chronological age when he recorded this album. It just blows my mind that someone who sang "Jump into the Fire" could have sung "As Time goes By" the way he did. He caresses each note.It doesn't matter if you think you wouldn't like an album of old fashioned standards, if you like the sound of Harry Nilsson's voice, you owe it to yourself to buy this compilation and then sit back, toss the book aside, dim the lights, and get ready to hear some of the best renditions of these songs that has been recorded in the last fifty years!
