Everyone has their favourites, on screen and on our stereos. But nobody's going to deny the sheer talent and individuality of the late, great Harry Nilsson. Though he never quite became a household name, the '60s/'70s singer-songwriter was responsible for more hits, soundtracks and pop innovations than any ten FM radio superstars put together. From his heartbreaking interpretation of Badfinger's "Without You" to his cult classic childrens' rock opera THE POINT, Nilsson was named as an enormous collaborative force and influence by countless contemporaries and recording legends, from Phil Spector to The Beatles. To honour the musical maverick's birthday, I have assembled a collection of full-song clips and footage of Nilsson's best work, certain to enthrall and inform fans and newcomers alike.
