First, it's Harry Nilsson's 68th birthday. He had a golden voice. So much so, that when asked, way back when, John Lennon named him as his favorite. Of course, that statement initiated Harry's fame.
He didn't play concerts but I caught a few photos of him in a more intimate setting...dinner at Klaus Voormann's house...

Good stuff! I loved Harry Nilsson in the 70s, even though he never did the top 40 thing. Maybe that's why?
His version of Badfinger's 'Without You' is the definitive version!
His life ended very sadly and ripped off.
Waylon, too was an icon. I appreciate him much more now than I did when I was a young 'rock lover only'.
Thanks for the memories!
