Harry Nilsson Fans Release 'Put Harry in the Hall' Video
. Back on Aug. 10, 2015, more than 30 professional musicians, actors, artists, friends, fans and Harry Nilsson's family members gathered to record a song to 'sing him into his rightful place at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame." The behind-the-scenes video of the recording of the song, which is posted on YouTube, honors the late-singer and songwriter beautifully. Nilsson released 16 albums including a few film soundtracks like 1974's Son of Dracula and Robin Williams' 1980 film Popeye. He won two Grammy Awards including the Best Contemporary Vocals for the Fred Neil-written song 'Everybody's Talkin'" in 1970, which was featured on the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. He passed away from a heart attack in 1994. According to Newser, on top of winning the two aforementioned Grammys, Nillsson wrote hits for Three Dog Night and The Monkees and was named-checked by The Beatles as their 'favorite group." David Leaf, who produced the documentary Who is Harry Nilsson (�and Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?, suggests that people don't know Nilsson because he didn't want them to.
