Harry Nilsson a fost un cântăreț și compozitor american care a atins cel mai mare succes comercial la începutul anilor 1970. A devenit cunoscut cu hituri precum „Everybody's Talkin'” și „Without You” și s-a numărat printre acei artiști pop-rock care au avut succes fără să concerteze în mod regulat.
