The ultimate musician's musician, singer/songwriter Harry Nillson was revered by a hefty number of his contemporaries, most notably his drinkin' buddy John Lennon. This edition of Nillson's acclaimed 1973 set of jazz and pop standards features six bonus tracks, including "It's Only A Paper Moon" and "As Time Goes By." Personnel: Harry Nilsson (vocals); Charlie LaVere (piano). Liner Note Authors: Derek Taylor; Curtis Armstrong. Photographer: Tom Hanley. Arranger: Gordon Jenkins. With A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night, Harry Nilsson was nearly a decade ahead of Linda Ronstadt and other nouveau crooners in hiring a conductor/arranger of the pre-rock era (in this case Gordon Jenkins) and recording an album of standards before a full orchestra. And he did it better than most, proving to be a marvelous interpreter of songs like "What'll I Do?" and "Makin' Whoopee!" His version of "As Time Goes By" became a minor hit.
