Jim Gordon on drums, I have a great Jim Gordon story… Back in the early 70’s when he was touring as Traffic’s drummer, I was working the gig at the Anaheim Convention Center, I do my job during the warmup acts and was free to hang out backstage during the show. As Traffic was heading towards the stage Jim saw me and invited me to hang out behind his drum kit. As it turned out, his drum tech handled his drumming issues, and I turned out to be is booze tech, he handled me a bottle and told me to give it to him every time he turned around to me between songs and told me that I was free to help myself to the bottle, I was maybe 16 or 17 at the time.
@@guyray1504 he was undiagonosed with severe schizophrenia and hammered his mother to death. Then stabbed her repeatedly. Really horrific. Died in prison last year. Brilliant drummer. Extremely deranged mind.
Harry Nilsson has phenomenal range. He was known to do all the backing vocals, singing in different ranges. Paul McCartney said Harry was his favorite singer.
Classic bass line then the drums come in. Pure dope. If this song doesn't have your feet stomping and head bobbling maybe nothing will. Harry has a rabbit hole to jump into. Excellent reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
Harry was a troubled soul who died too young. He was chums with some Beatles and colabbed. He has some other songs you should hear - Coconus, Everybody's Talking, and Without You.
Weird, but True Trivia: Both Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas and Keith Moon, drummer from The Who died in Harry Nilsson’s London Apartment. The musical icons were mutual friends with Nilsson and both died at age 32, just four years apart, in the same exact room. Bizarre but True!
Yep, Curzon Square in Mayfair. He was reluctant to allow Keith Moon stay there believing it was cursed. Pete Townshend told him lightning doesn't strike twice but was unfortunately proved wrong. Harry sold the flat - to Pete Townshend
Love it. I'm really glad you came to The Point! 😋 The album (LP or CD) is awesome too. It comes with a book to follow along with his narration and songs. The movie and album are really charming, poignant, and the songs are great. A babysitter brought the album to my house once when I was 7 or 8 in the '70s. Thank you, Becky!
Over the last few days you have been playing song from members of a 70's drinking group called the Hollywood Vampires. Alice Cooper was President and members included Keith Moon of the Who, Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees. Other members were Ringo Starr, Iggy Pop, and Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. Maybe songs from those members would be appropriate as well!
@@christianmarler2253 It sure does..... along with Thelma Shoonmaker's (always) stellar editing, Harry's amazingly tense (and intense) vocals makes that particular scene one of the very best in a movie replete with amazing scenes IMO.
The Great Harry Nilsson. He can write, sing and arrange anything. He won a grammy for the Theme song to the Hollywood movie "Midnight Cowboy." One of the most talented artists ever. He has a catalogue of hits he wrote for other artists as well. Thanks guys
Actually, even though 'Everybody's Talkin' ' is a great tune and was in the movie, The theme song for Midnight Cowboy was the instrumental harmonica piece 'Midnight Cowboy Theme' by John Barry.....
And Harry’s “Everybody’s Talkin’” is a cover of the great Fred Neil, who is the original writer and performer of the song. Harry did a great version that perfectly captured the ethos of the film.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 Yeah, Harry had a knack for taking other people's songs and making them (in my opinion) better, like what you mentioned and Pete Ham's 'Without You' for instance... to do a better version than Badfinger themselves is something else!
Hey. I thought JOHN BARRY wrote, composed the theme song for Midnight Cowboy ❓🎵 Maybe another song in the movie was Harry's. Either way...his talent was so underappreciated. This song is a Banger🎵Love that these 2 REACTORS lock in right away to greatness.
Nilsson was a musical genius on the level of his contemporaries such as Paul McCartney and John Lennon etc. Almost no one knows about him because of his untimely death at an early age unfortunately. This entire album you're showing in the video is an absolute gem. RIP Harry. You died way to young brother.
A friend and drinking buddy of John Lennon's, too. I think he largely kept John from drinking and drugging himself to death during John's "lost weekend" 18 month binge in L.A., when he was separated from Yoko.
I was two. I walked 10 miles alone through dangerous city streets and dark spooky forests to get my vinyl copy from my favorite record shop. I brought it home and forced my mother to play just this song over and over for a full year. She had to stand by the record player that whole year continually cueing the needle back each time the song ended. Sorry, I got carried away. Actually, none of that happened. Except, I was two. On a side note, some great movies came out that year, as well.
Always recall this song from the movie Goodfellas…a great song to end a classic movie! That aside, my wife loves Everybody’s Talkin…from the movie Midnight Cowboy…makes her cry..Harry was just soo creative and talented!..and I agree, y’all are a class act, and the best reactors on UA-cam!
Just played this song last night on my McIntosh MA8900 w/Klipsch La Scalas w/two REL 1510 subwoofers…I don’t always listen to this song but when I do, so do my neighbors
And you're listening to it now on UA-cam? I know why. That great rig of yours doesn't have La & Che. Right? P.S. I wondered what that great sound was I was hearing at that time here in Arizona.
Phenomenal vocalist. His version of "Without You" (Originally by Badfinger and later by Mariah Carey) is incredible, as well as his first big hit "Everybody's Talkin'". He and John Lennon were friends and drinking buddies, as well as members of the Hollywood Vampires drinking club along with Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, and Mickey Dolenz...
The song Without You comes from the English band Badfinger, I forgot it too. Harry's version is the best, don't like the later Diva version at all. Harry Nilsson is a one-album wonder, I think he also worked with John Lennon.
I loved what I’d heard of this the first time watching Goodfellas, not knowing it was Harry Nilsson. I looked it up a couple years later and was blown down hearing it from beginning to end. So glad to see a couple of high level people checking it out. I was a kid hearing his first stuff on the radio. He’s worth learning about.
THANK YOU! This song made my day! I'm so glad you were able to check out Harry Nilsson. The bass and the drums really grab you on this one. Best when played extremely loud! I was a teenager when this album came out, and I got to listen to my Dad's copy on a killer stereo. Thanks Dad! And thanks to you guys for your great reactions. You have created an awesome channel.
When John Lennon split from Yoko for three years he went on a bender, did solo stuff with Bowie, Elton John and Harry. The stories of their escapades are legendary in the L A scene of that period.
Went to a Uriah Heep Concert in the 70s and the sound guys used this before the show to set up the sound system... blew us away when the bass kicks in during the drum solo shook the walls of the auditorium. Great tune Whole Album worth listening to.
What a banger! Spaceman, Remember and The Coconut Song are must listen to songs. He had such a beautiful 3 and 1/2 octave range voice and was so versatile. Back in the 80s our office always listened to his albums on Fridays.
as soon as i saw this reaction come up-i had to watch, i knew you guys would dig it. FWIW- EVERY Nilsson song has production that is OFF THE CHARTS great
You can pick most any album from the 70s, especially the early 70s, and at least one part of it will be magical. Then there are many albums like this with lots of magical moments.
That's an interesting point. I agree with that. Thinking about it that way, it's kind of ironic that the Drifter's song "This Magic Moment" was from 1960, and "Magic Moments" by Burt Bacharach and Hal David was from 1957. If they had just waited... 😋
This cat it different. In a good way. He very seldom performed live. Early on (60’s) it seems like he got good at recording his vocal, then adding multiple tracks of himself singing in harmony. He probably wasn’t the first to do it, but at the time, having just one guy singing a song in four-part-harmony was fairly new and probably not easy to do.
Thanks guys, you brought me back to being a kid playing this with my 2 brothers, really loud. We would all pretend to play along, fighting over who was the drummer. Haven't heard this in years. Harry was a very talented guy.
Harry Neilson is a rabbit hole if amazing tunes, to me. React to some more of his magic... "Without You" is a good start. Great reaction as usual!! ✌ Jodi/child of the 60s
this was one of his more intense pieces and a great one at that. Yet he is noted mostly for the purity of his voice. Try 'Without You' as an example. This album and 'Son of Schmilsson' are both great to listen to.
Another all time fave! This whole album kicks ass! I have it on vinyl and between me and my room mate we have 3 copies of it on CD. This is the soundtrack of many of our long desert cruises. So so many great songs! I would suggest the quircky "Early In The Morning". His vocals on that one, hell, on the whole album, are incredible! Glad that you have discovered this gem!
Hell I was ready ti jump into the fire after that. Watch the doc Who’s Harry? One of the best voices and songwriters. His two biggest hits were covers though. Not bad for a guy who worked in a bank.
Side two of this album is one of the greatest you'll ever hear. There is a reason John and Paul said he was the best songwriter in the world at one point. He's also a cautionary tale, the stories of his partying are wild, he and Keith Moon would hangout! Just imagine what those two animals got up to.
Review "Without You". This song and Jump Into the Fire, along with others, is on Nilsson Shmilsson album. You've heard the song I'm sure since Mariah Carey covered. it John Lennon called him the songwriter's songwriter.
This song as you've heard is all guts and drums, but others on this album are beautiful ballads like "Without You". Then there are the minimalisms of 'Early in the Morning' and 'The Moonbeam Song'. He was such a great singer and this one album is the showcase piece. But his catalogue is quite extensive and deserves a deeper dive. Thanks ✌
Don’t know who requested this but…not what I’m used to hearing on this channel. Thank you, TY TY, this made me so happy. Haven’t had a song move me in the + direction quite like this one in a while. I’m just smiling stomach this one.🫠
There's a section of the song where you hear the bass going lower and lower... That's Klaus Voorman detuning his low E string, thinking that the track was over... Then you can hear the bass going back up... 😁
It always sounded to me like Harry is trying to convince the girl that they’d make each other happy, but she’s not buying into it. The singing and music starts enthusiastic then gets more desperate as he begs and pleads with her “WE CAN MAKE EACHOTHER HAPPY!!!!” She’s the one singing NO NO!
UA-cam reactions are finding lots of good music I missed over the years. I probably thought Harry Nilsson was one of Ozzy and Harriet's kids and didn't listen to him because. LOL. I am totally wrong!@@wayL0ck
as a viewer it's fun when you know what's coming, and get to see your reaction to it. i knew that drum and bass section would grab you guys. that bass was tuned about as low as it could go.
I don’t know about the damn pan, but y’all sure enough “Jump(ed) Into The Fire” with Harry Nilsson my Dudes! 🔥 Nilsson definitely rocks! Another great reaction Fellas!!! 👍💥
That's Herbie Flowers on the Bass, taking it to an all time low. Used to have this album until I lent it to a "friend", never got it back. Harry Nilsson was a strange dude, didn't do many concerts at all. BTW, what's that in Harry's hand on the cover shot.
It looks like a hash pipe...I hope it is...The whole picture has that "It's 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, I'm a little hungover from last night, and I don't have to be anywhere, so I'm going to hang out in my kitchen and do a couple of hits"...
Need to hit "Coconut" by Harry.
Ain't there nothing I can take...?
You're such a silly woman.
Jim Gordon on drums, I have a great Jim Gordon story…
Back in the early 70’s when he was touring as Traffic’s drummer, I was working the gig at the Anaheim Convention Center, I do my job during the warmup acts and was free to hang out backstage during the show.
As Traffic was heading towards the stage Jim saw me and invited me to hang out behind his drum kit. As it turned out, his drum tech handled his drumming issues, and I turned out to be is booze tech, he handled me a bottle and told me to give it to him every time he turned around to me between songs and told me that I was free to help myself to the bottle, I was maybe 16 or 17 at the time.
I love Traffic...Ginger Baker r.i.p.
How do you feel knowing he killed his mother and sent to prison.
@@guyray1504 he was undiagonosed with severe schizophrenia and hammered his mother to death. Then stabbed her repeatedly. Really horrific. Died in prison last year. Brilliant drummer. Extremely deranged mind.
@@guyray1504 How should one feel? Not enough info. Not really relevant.
Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth!
That's a great story! 🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂
Harry Nilsson has phenomenal range. He was known to do all the backing vocals, singing in different ranges. Paul McCartney said Harry was his favorite singer.
you guys are a class act
They really are. Well said.
Jim Gordon's drumming in this is effin' tribal. Makes me want to dance nekkid around a fire. Everything about this song is epic.
😂😂😂
Most of us would like to see that.
👍 You guys got it going on.
Put the lime in the coconut 🏝️
And shake 'em bode up.
Classic bass line then the drums come in. Pure dope. If this song doesn't have your feet stomping and head bobbling maybe nothing will. Harry has a rabbit hole to jump into. Excellent reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
5:50 Bass Dive Bombing... lol
Herbie Flowers! One of the best bass intros in music!
Harry was a troubled soul who died too young. He was chums with some Beatles and colabbed. He has some other songs you should hear - Coconus, Everybody's Talking, and Without You.
When you're right, you're right.
Rainmaker is my favorite.
Weird, but True Trivia: Both Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas and Keith Moon, drummer from The Who died in Harry Nilsson’s London Apartment. The musical icons were mutual friends with Nilsson and both died at age 32, just four years apart, in the same exact room. Bizarre but True!
Yep, Curzon Square in Mayfair. He was reluctant to allow Keith Moon stay there believing it was cursed. Pete Townshend told him lightning doesn't strike twice but was unfortunately proved wrong. Harry sold the flat - to Pete Townshend
That is a great album
Fact.
He even wrote for The Monkees.
My favorite Nilsson song is "me and my arrow" from the 1971 cartoon he helped write and produce, THE POINT. (About individualism and conformity).
Love it. I'm really glad you came to The Point! 😋
The album (LP or CD) is awesome too. It comes with a book to follow along with his narration and songs. The movie and album are really charming, poignant, and the songs are great. A babysitter brought the album to my house once when I was 7 or 8 in the '70s. Thank you, Becky!

They still exist with Johnny Depp on bass.
Some of those guys are dead. That'll teach them not to drink so much, I guess.
I had always wondered who did this while watching the helicopter scene in 'Goodfellas'.... never knew Harry could actually rock out like that!
It really ramps-up the tension in that scene, doesn't it?
@@christianmarler2253 It sure does..... along with Thelma Shoonmaker's (always) stellar editing, Harry's amazingly tense (and intense) vocals makes that particular scene one of the very best in a movie replete with amazing scenes IMO.
@@Neillybob63 Agreed. 💯
🚗🚁
That is a groove that is hard to shut down.
Detuning the bass and bringing it back was epic.
The great Jim Gordon on drums! (Yes. I know what he did but he was best in business at that time). Loved Harry! Great reaction, great song!
In the 70’s I’d see colors while listening to this 😂
Toke up bro..
Or maybe helicopters?
@@MH-fb5kr Did you know UA-cam has a link to translate your "Toke up bro..." to English? 😂🤣🙃

Nilsson was tight with John Lennon and the boys, great album.
Ck out the album Pussycats...he and Lennon recorded around their "lost weekend " time

Always cool when someone jumps into Harry Nillson.

He and John Lennon were friends and drinking buddies, as well as members of the Hollywood Vampires drinking club along with Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, and Mickey Dolenz...
Harry had such a pure voice. His song "Without You" is a classic. Jim Gordon was on drums.
Amazing range
RIP JIM hope you find peace
Have to give a shout out to Herbie Flowers on bass
The song Without You comes from the English band Badfinger, I forgot it too. Harry's version is the best, don't like the later Diva version at all.

"Son of Nilson" album has many cameos on it.
I believe Harry kept John alive during that time.
One of my top 10 songs of all time. Had his album at the time and played this incessantly and we’d all get up and dance crazy-like! 53 years ago, too.
Have you ever watched a moonbeam as it slid across your windowpane?
The drummer is Jim Gordon, co-writer of Layla
My favorite part in Good Fellas
The helicopter, right?
Thanks for finally getting to this song. It has always been one of my favorites.
Nilsson was incredible. True original artist.
Went to a Uriah Heep Concert in the 70s and the sound guys used this before the show to set up the sound system... blew us away when the bass kicks in during the drum solo shook the walls of the auditorium. Great tune Whole Album worth listening to.
This was a favorite of mine (and the whole album) when I was 15-16
I love this song.
Nilsson!! Love him!
What a banger! Spaceman, Remember and The Coconut Song are must listen to songs. He had such a beautiful 3 and 1/2 octave range voice and was so versatile. Back in the 80s our office always listened to his albums on Fridays.

How low can you go? Herbie Flowers bass shows us.
You've heard Harry Nilsson before but he's like Leon Russel, an actual legend behind the legends.
They shoot, they score! Harry at his creative best. Enjoy Bros.
I've about worn the groves off this LP. Complete total classic. Nice job gentlemen.
The bass in this jam is soooooo good!!
Harry was also buddies with John Lennon, he never got over John's death😢😊
Harry Neilson is a rabbit hole if amazing tunes, to me. React to some more of his magic... "Without You" is a good start. Great reaction as usual!! ✌ Jodi/child of the 60s
this was one of his more intense pieces and a great one at that. Yet he is noted mostly for the purity of his voice. Try 'Without You' as an example. This album and 'Son of Schmilsson' are both great to listen to.
One of my all time favorites- still have my original 45 from back in the day.
☮️ That was 🔥🔥✌️☮️
Another all time fave! This whole album kicks ass! I have it on vinyl and between me and my room mate we have 3 copies of it on CD. This is the soundtrack of many of our long desert cruises. So so many great songs! I would suggest the quircky "Early In The Morning". His vocals on that one, hell, on the whole album, are incredible! Glad that you have discovered this gem!
Aww yeah 🤘🤘
Hell I was ready ti jump into the fire after that. Watch the doc Who’s Harry? One of the best voices and songwriters. His two biggest hits were covers though. Not bad for a guy who worked in a bank.
If you’ve seen the film Goodfellas, you will have already heard this on the soundtrack
The whole album is really good. I was listened to it a lot when it was realeased in the seventies something. Harry was a great singer.
One of Rock Music's most colorful characters!
Im goin to do this on my looper right nnaaow.
Nilsson was/is extremely underrated.
Harry had vocal range, and he had stylistic range. Thank you checking out Nilsson. He was one of a kind.
Still got the single absolutely brilliant 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👌😎
Side two of this album is one of the greatest you'll ever hear. There is a reason John and Paul said he was the best songwriter in the world at one point. He's also a cautionary tale, the stories of his partying are wild, he and Keith Moon would hangout! Just imagine what those two animals got up to.
that whole album
What a blast!!! 😂❤😊
Superb tune, SWEET 😅😊
Review "Without You". This song and Jump Into the Fire, along with others, is on Nilsson Shmilsson album. You've heard the song I'm sure since Mariah Carey covered. it

Harry and John Lennon once had a screaming contest Harry’s voice was never the same after that.
More Harry please! Coconut Song is a must..
Still on constant rotation in my world!! Another great reaction!! ☮️❤️

Cool. I never knew who sang this. Have not heard it since the 1980’s
It's always a trip when you find out something like this!
UA-cam reactions are finding lots of good music I missed over the years. I probably thought Harry Nilsson was one of Ozzy and Harriet's kids and didn't listen to him because. LOL. I am totally wrong!@@wayL0ck
I believe Harry played every instrument. He was a maniac whose good friend was Keith Moon
This reminds me of the helicopter scene in (Goodfellas) chasing Henry Hill “Ray Liotta”
R.I.P. 😢
“Do You See It”
“Do You See It”
Detuned bass and drum solo are the absolute BOMB...simply BADASS. Just sayin...........
This guy is very eclectic, musically hell try anything.... my fav. Is everybody's talking ar me.... from Midnight Cowboy
Boy! That tempo will have you up & running and your cardio racing in no time...Great song!
I think there are parts where the bass is gradually being tuned down while it is played...
This song rocks. Always loved. I always hear a little Hutchence in it. Thank you for reaction! Wonder if INXS ever covered?
It's a classic with a great bass riff.
as a viewer it's fun when you know what's coming, and get to see your reaction to it. i knew that drum and bass section would grab you guys. that bass was tuned about as low as it could go.
All the instruments gathered outside of studio after recording, and lit one up!. 😂
I don’t know about the damn pan, but y’all sure enough “Jump(ed) Into The Fire” with Harry Nilsson my Dudes! 🔥
Nilsson definitely rocks!
Another great reaction Fellas!!! 👍💥
10.14.23. When I hear this song, I am always reminded of the movie Goodfellas©️…… Henry and Lorraine🫨
Yup - hard not to think of that.
Was a banger when it came out. Is a banger now.
That's Herbie Flowers on the Bass, taking it to an all time low. Used to have this album until I lent it to a "friend", never got it back. Harry Nilsson was a strange dude, didn't do many concerts at all. BTW, what's that in Harry's hand on the cover shot.
