Synopsis

Who Is Harry Nilsson? (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?), is a wildly entertaining, star–studded documentary that tells the story of one of the most talented and versatile singer–songwriters in pop music history and the man The Beatles dubbed their favorite American musician. Harry Nilsson penned the Grammy® Award–winning songs "Everybody's Talkin" and "Without You", the quirky "Coconut" ("Put de lime in de coconut…"), the whimsical "Me And My Arrow", and the poignant "One" ("…is the loneliest number"). Who Is Harry Nilsson? reveals his spirited relationship with John Lennon and close bond with Ringo Starr, as well as his legendary "bad boy", party animal status and life as a devoted husband and father.

Director John Scheinfeld brings added emotion and intimacy to the story with over 50 Nilsson recordings, rare or never–before–seen film clips, home movies and personal photos. To this are added compelling interviews with top music and movie personalities who knew Nilsson well. They include Micky Dolenz, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Al Kooper, Randy Newman, Yoko Ono, Van Dyke Parks, The Smothers Brothers, Jimmy Webb, Paul Williams, Robin Williams, Brian Wilson, and many others.
