  • Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 - January 15, 1994), known professionally as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. His work is characterized by pioneering vocal overdub experiments, returns to the Great American Songbook, and fusions of Caribbean sounds. A tenor with a 3½ octave range, Nilsson was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours.[2] The craft of his songs and the defiant attitude he projected remains a touchstone for later generations of indie rock musicians.

    My Dad loved Harry Nilsson, especially this song, he was a medic in the Vietnam war, born in 1948, he would have been 74 in 2 days. I lost him 11 years ago and I play this song and sing along as if he is right here with me. I won’t let him leave my love behind ❤️

      E eu quem diria aos oitenta anos .é como um filme uma cena voltando aos anos 60 .tão turbulento como os dias de hoje. A única diferença é que andávamos livres pela madrugadas com duas três garotas de bus de um lado para outro curtindo um rock maneiro e sempre conseguirmos voltar pra casa.

    I was 18 years old when this song was released. The Vietnam war was raging on and I was scared that I would be drafted. I had a beautiful girlfriend. Hearing Nilsson’s incredible voice singing this incredible song takes me back to 1968 and a pivotal time in my life. Thank you Nilsson. I wish you were here with us

      Tenía 18 años y corria el año 1970. Vivía en España bajo el yugo de Franco, de la Iglesia Católica y de una familia disfuncional. Me marché de casa, me fuí a Paris. Allí trabajaba de "femme de ménage", vivía en una "chambre de bonne", me matriculé en Sociología en la Facultad de Vincennes y fui feliz. Desde el día, muy especial por cierto, en que vi la película y escuché esta canción creo que pocos días de mi vida he dejado de escucharla. Y a veces en bucle. Me pone la sangre hirviendo y me inyecta vida.

      Michelle Stolz -your response got me snooping. Never heard of this day and I am a Leo. What a brilliant song. Its almost as if took on the persona of Glen Campbell when he wrote and performed this gem. It’s been way too long since I heard it and makes up for the trauma I suffered as a result of “Like A Rhinestone Cowboy.” It’s a long story but suffice to say, 8 track singles should have been banned by bus companies in the early 70’s. That’s all I have to say on that subject.

I get reminded of the miles of orange 🍊 groves as we cruised beside them. One thing is, that when l hear this, l get transported back California.

    Waiting for a departure date in 1970 for emigration to sunny Queensland Australia, this was the song that kept us going. Leaving dreary winter in England "going where the sun keeps shining" and where "the weather suits my clothes" was an anthem that we have never forgotten. Yes we "skipped over the ocean like a stone". After 51 years....still no regrets! Thank you Nilsson RIP

    My first love (and only "true" one) reminded me a lot of Harry, and he also loved his music. "The Lottery Song" was OUR song; he was a plumber and we did save up and take that Summer trip to Vegas... and we were very happy for 8 years.

Little did we know in just over fifty years hence, we'd be in a very similar situation , homeless, unemployed down and out folk sleepin' rough, just like depicted in this film ! Hoping for better times for all !

      I always loved this song and often felt people "talking at me" and not to or with me but more themselves, beliefs or perceptions whether true or not. A note to self would occur where I could navigate my own reality while not becoming scripted or constrained by other people's fears or limitations.

      Fred Neil wrote a nice song, and his voice was nothing special. It took Nilsson to make the song a classic, with his very individual timing and perfect vocals. He have it great emotional feeling, which I never felt in Fred Neil's rendering.

"I'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain." He didn't have a father around when he was growing up and he grew up poor. He became famous and then all his money got embezzled by a heartless person. I hope he's in heaven hearing us all rave about him and his songs.

Meanwhile the Archies sang “Sugar Sugar”. What a memorable moment!
