Who can forget "The Point", or the theme song sung in "Midnight Cowboy"? I knew so little about Nilsson. He was admired by many of the top names in the entertainment industry, & turns out, was quite the character. And oh, wanna pull an all…

Most people have heard songs by "Nilsson" but never made the connection: "Lime in the Coconut", "Theme from Midnight Cowboy: Everybody's Talkin' at Me", "One is the Loneliest Number" made famous by Three Dog Night...et al, all either…

Sad sad story of one of the icons of popular music. Very well done with lots of inside information.
