hey there say, all...
wow, i just now learning who FRED NEIL IS...
wow:
just was hearing a version UNlike the song that was used for the midnight cowboy movie... it was done in jazz type style, UNLIKE the 'well known version'... (which i learned, of the jazz type, that it was 'used' by a singer, who wanted to use this FRED NEIL SONG... but just did it his way)...
well, after talking to a friend by phone, asking her if she ever knew more about this song and when it was written--as--i thought thusly, that it came from some ol' singer, wayyyyy before the movie...
so i looked it up tonight, and YES--IT WAS from before the movie and not
written for the movie... but the man, the composer, himself...
however, harry nilsson, DID sing it very similar to what fred neil, wrote..
well, i never like the movie version of the song that was on the radio...
(i just like the deeper bass voices, better, and thus like HIS version
better, due to that, and-- and acoustic guitar? with no orchestra/back up music)
but, wow, i love this one that the composer himself sang:
wow and wow, again...
here it is... i just LOVED learning something new...

also, read that he went on to retire, 'where the sun keeps shining' as the article, said on wikipedia, and:
went on to work with saving the dolphins, reminisnet of his dolphin song,
and his feelings in that song, as to life...

hey there say, nita... wow... say, NOW that i hear this, yes, i HAVE heard some of his songs and i really loved a few of them, but--
oddly, i never HEARD who was singing the... oh my...
great radio stations, huh, :)) never announcing the singers or titles of the songs, :))
well, am still now listening to this link, now... sad beginning, :(
just wanted to post another fast, THANK you...
you know, now, in a way... it shows why he made these songs that he DID, his own and put his feelings so deep into them...
like this one, that he picked to sing:

edit:
wow, just saw that his 'lord, new york city song' was in this:
Nilsson's next album, Harry (1969), was his first to hit the charts, and also provided a Top 40 single with "I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City" (written as a contender for the theme to Midnight Cowboy), used in the Sophia Loren movie La Mortadella (1971) (US title: Lady Liberty).
you know, nita, folks:
i really think his grandparents would have been so proud of him, if they were still alive, to have heard and seen this (they were circus performers)... (well, minus the drinking, etc, but you know what i mean)...
edit: especially 'good trick' doing all the 'back up' voices,behind his own lead, etc,
instead of having back up singers (which i just heard, he had done in many songs) :))
also, i always loved the 'ONE' song, by three dog night, and
did not know, until now, that NILSSON wrote it...
thank you again, nita, this was a sad, but very nice and fun
adventure...
ahhh, the THINGS we learn at the ol' taco, :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Nilsson
got to go paint now...
:)
LAST EDIT:
WOW, nita... thank you very very kindly... i just got to finish the link
on harry nilsson... oh my, i loved it...
i loved learning about his wonderful wife and children, she is a wonderful woman... oh my... and he got TO BE a good daddy, dad, and husband...
ended very special, in deed...
