Amazing video of Harry singing and playing the piano including a little bit of duetting with Tom (or is that Dick?).

That's so cool!
The two songs Harry does are from "The Point",
still one of my favorite TV cartoon/records. If you can find a copy, or download it, listen to "Think About Your Troubles" from the soundtrack. It's obviously much more polished, being done in studio, and is one of his best!

Thanks for the INCREDIBLE post. Seeing Harry like this (solo piano, conversational)illuminates the Nilsson/Newman connection. I remember hearing the "construct-a-song" demo referred to by elders in my clan (probably in derogatory sense, though :| )

Harry was a very talented musician, wrote not just a few good songs...and who was also one of those who befriended John Lennon when he was down and out in L.A., if memory serves.
