1. Great song,

horribly butchered by Mariah Carey in the '90s.

[Swede]

2. It must be butchered,cause I don't remember her even doing it.

3. Harry was such a great singer for a while there...

Not sure where he went off track... "Nilsson Schmilsson" and "A little touch of Schmillson in the night..." are two of my favorite albums. As I recall he really tore up his voice on the "Pussy Cats" album he did with John Lennon... wonder if that album he was working on when he passed is ever coming out.

Funny how Linda Rondstadt gets credit for the "rock star doing standards" thing when Harry did it 15+ years before she did?

4. Funny,he never really made it big.

Came close,but never really had a string of hits.

Jump into the Fire
Without You
Remember
Me and My Arrow
The Moonbeam Song

5. I like Nilsson's version

But being a Badfinger fan, I like their original version better.

7. Weird how these guys all swapped songs...

Badfinger's first big hit written by McCartney, Nilsson's big hit written by Badfinger... Harry seemed to do much better interpreting other people's songs.
