About this album

Nilsson Schmilsson is Harry Nilsson’s breakout album and the record that turned his gift for eccentric pop into a commercial triumph. Released in 1971, it mixes sharp humour, emotional wreckage and ambitious studio craft, from the playful Caribbean bounce of Coconut to the devastating ballad Without You, which became one of his signature songs. Produced by Richard Perry, the album showcased Nilsson’s extraordinary four-octave voice and his ability to move between sly novelty, soulfulness and widescreen pop without losing cohesion. Its success helped establish him as one of the most distinctive singer-songwriters of the early 1970s.
