Knnillssonn
''Knnillssonn'' is the fourteenth album by Harry Nilsson, released in July, 1977. ''Knnillssonn'' was Nilsson's final album for RCA Records and his personal favorite while recording it, as his voice had recovered from the damage done during the 1974 ''Pussy Cats'' sessions; his songs were more developed and his singing was in top form. RCA Records management agreed and had prepared to promote the record heavily as his comeback album after previous efforts were released with little notice and promotion and were mostly missed by the public. Shortly after the album was issued, Elvis Presley died suddenly, at age 42. Presley and Nilsson both recorded for RCA Records and the unexpected death of Elvis resulted in a complete overhaul of RCA's release schedules and promotion plans. Demand for Presley's recordings was so high, stores could not keep them in stock. Money and resources allotted to ''Knnillssonn'' and other new RCA releases was all redirected to promoting Presley's recently is ...

Pussy Cats
''Pussy Cats'' is the tenth album by American singer Harry Nilsson, released by RCA Records in 1974. It was produced by John Lennon during his " Lost Weekend" period. The album title was inspired by the bad press Nilsson and Lennon were getting at the time for being drunk and rowdy in Los Angeles. They also included an inside joke on the cover – children's letter blocks "D" and "S" on either side of a rug under a table − to spell out "drugs under the table" as a rebus. Recording and development The album was started in Los Angeles, but Lennon ultimately finished producing it in New York, where he could better control the sessions. During the recording sessions, Nilsson ruptured one of his vocal cords but chose to keep this from Lennon. He forced himself to push through the sessions, which caused even more damage, that some (including The Monkees' Micky Dolenz) say he never quite recovered from. The vocal strain is most evident on "Old Forgotten Soldier" and "Loop de Loop," on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
