Description
Harry Nilsson: A Paradoxical Life Harry Nilsson was a figure in popular music who defied conventions. As a singer-songwriter, he excelled in the studio, but shunned live performance. His greatest hits were often written by others, yet he composed songs for prominent artists like the Ronettes and the Yardbirds. Despite his success, Nilsson's life was marked by struggles with substance abuse and tragedy. The deaths of Keith Moon and Mama Cass in his London flat had a profound impact on him. Yet, his music continues to endure, with recent covers by artists such as Aimee Mann and Neko Case. This biography, written by Alyn Shipton, offers the first full-length exploration of Nilsson's life, tracing his journey from Brooklyn childhood to Los Angeles adolescence and beyond.
