Harry Nilsson was an innovative American singer-songwriter known for his pioneering vocal overdub experiments and fusions of Caribbean sounds. He achieved commercial success in the early 1970s without extensive touring and collaborated with artists like Randy Newman. Nilsson’s hit singles included “Without You” and “Coconut”. He formed close friendships with members of The Beatles, particularly John Lennon and Ringo Starr, and produced a collaborative album with Lennon. Nilsson’s songs and attitude influenced later indie rock musicians, earning him a spot on Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time”.
