	Randy Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Randy Newman (born November 28, 1943, in Los Angeles, California) is a United States songwriter, arranger, singer and pianist who is notable for his mordant, immaculately written pop songs and for his many film scores.
		At the same time, Newman's drawl is reminiscent of that of blues artists like Sonny Boy Williamson and of New Orleans rock-and-roll singers like Chris Kenner (he lived in New Orleans as a child and spent summers there until he was eleven years old).
		Newman had become a professional songwriter by the time he was seventeen, and landed a contract as a singer with Reprise Records.

		The choice he gave himself was between the songs of Randy Newman and Laura Nyro, a New York born singer (like Harry) noted for her spiritual, social and sensual vision (like Harry).
		Newman won, though, largely because Harry had had such fun recording 'Simon Smith...' as the last song on his previous album 'Harry'.
		Nilsson had become a big fan of Newman's - not surprising really considering their respective 'outlooks' on the world.

		Nilsson Sings Newman is a duet between Harry and an Americana, sometimes-weird composer; The Point!
		Nilsson Sings Newman is a fantastic and perverse idea: a tribute to a composer who'd released exactly one album at the time.
		Perhaps Nilsson is the rock and roll emblem of that Faulkner line "The past is not dead.

	Harry / Nilsson Sings Newman - Cd
		This is actually a 2fer of Nilsson's Harry album and Nilsson Sings Newman.
		Nilsson Sings Newman offers a more textured less smooth production style which fits well with Newman's ironic wit.
		The only other artist besides Newman that could do justice to his material was Harry (and, at times, Harry actually could do Randy better than Randy).

	Review: Randy Newman's 'Bad Love'
		Going back to yesterday, both musically and lyrically, is how Newman made his name, is how he pays for the Lexus he sings about, or the fancy schools where he sends his kids.
		Randy Newman, the bastard child of George Gershwin and Albert Brooks, has blessed us with a dozen new songs, all loosely about Bad Love.
		Newman's songs have layers of double meanings, intricacies and complexities that modern goofballs like Beck (who Newman admires) can only dream of.

		Another legend in singer/songwriter circles, Randy Newman was paid respect by Nilsson with the recording of the album Nilsson Sings Newman.
		Newman helped out, playing piano on the record - which has been described by critics as 'A unique gift from one master singer/songwriter to another'.
		Nilsson died January 15 1994 - considered to be one of rock's most literate songwriters, it's surprising to find that Nilsson had only a basic education and maintained that he was no great reader.

	That's the Way It Is [Expanded] - Cd
		Nilsson has always been a bit of a schizophrenic artists- no two songs sound like they belong on the same album or are even done by the same artist- until now.
		An album of mostly cover versions, this is Nilsson at his creative peak.
		That said, Sail Away is tolerable (tho' check out Nilsson Sings Newman for some outstanding covers), Zombie Jamboree is somewhat entertaining, and She Sits Down On Me is as decent a cover as you'll find.

		Still, it is an impressive album that is historically significant because it closed out the first part of Nilsson's career, just before he moved into the more adult themes of the Schmilsson albums.
		Nilsson's narration of "The Point" reveals him to be a gifted comedian, and also provides some insight into his personality, particularly his love of the absurd.

	Watches-Personal Best- The Harry Nilsson Anthology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		That's the question posed by Harry Nilsson's 1971 pop parable of a well-rounded young boy named Oblio, from the Land of Point, who's cast apart from the community by those who resent his pointlessness.
		Harry Nilsson wrote the entirely hummable songs (including the hit, "Me and My Arrow") for this charming, 1971 animation feature about a boy with a round head who is banished from the land of pointy-headed people.
		At its core, Harry Nilsson's work was tuneful singer-songwriter fare, but the orchestrated arrangements and Nilsson's distinctive voice hinted at something more complex.

	The History of Rock Music - The Seventies
		Randy Newman (4) revealed his prodigious talent on Twelve Songs (1970), a cycle of vignettes about life in the city, that boasted catchy melodies as well as eclectic arrangements.
		Newman was a master of the short story, but the reason of his success lied in his uncanny fusion of popular styles, from Broadway show-tunes to Tin Pan Alley pop ballads to swing big-bands to rhythm'n'blues to tropical music to Salvation Army fanfares.
		Harry Nilsson ventured on a similar (but far less adventurous) route with the sardonic drunkard of Nilsson Schmilsson (1971).

	Nilsson Sings Newman by Harry Nilsson
		Named Stereo Review's album of the year (and, really, can you ask for a better endorsement than that?) upon its release and generally regarded as the album that introduced Randy Newman the songwriter to a wide audience, Nilsson Sings Newman has gained a reputation of being an minor masterwork.
		As such, the preponderance of quiet piano-and-voice tracks (featuring Newman himself on piano, Nilsson on vocals) means the record can slip away upon the first few listens, especially for anyone expecting an undeniable masterpiece.
		Yet, a masterpiece is what this is, albeit a subtle, graceful masterpiece where the pleasure is in the grace notes, small gestures, and in-jokes.

	Review: Harry Nilsson's 'Nilsson Sings Newman: 30th Anniversary'
		"Nilsson Sings Newman" is 30 years old, and, with the exception of the Incense-and-Peppermints-style harpsichord during the fadeout of "Cowboy," it sounds like it could have been recorded last week.
		Nilsson's dynamic vocal ability (few today match it, though David Driver and Rufus Wainwright are doing their best to stake their claim) takes these ageless and timeless songs and tears away layers of irony an self-deprecation.
		There will be no such response to "Nilsson Sings Newman." What's so surprising is that for every emotional beat the new style loses, it gains an entirely different one back from the new form.

		Harry Nilsson would soon become a star with hits like "Without You" and "Coconut." And Randy Newman is still writing and singing wonderful songs to this very day.
		This is a tremendous album, mixing Nilsson's pure and perfect voice with the music and poetry of Randy Newman.

		The second part of the CD consists of "Nilsson Sings Newman" an unselfish tribute from one great songwriter to another.
		HARRY (1969) and NILSSON SINGS NEWMAN (1970) were two of Nilsson's finest moments, and to have them coupled on one CD is a listeners dream.
		The poetic beauty of Nilsson's own music and lyrics are superbly showcased on the 69 album, featuring the very well known and delightful "Puppy Song" and "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City".

		Nilsson is dead, while Newman now scores movies like his illustrious forbears.
		While each participant was well-skilled in singing and songwriting, Nilsson, arguably the better singer, sang, while Newman, arguably the better songwriter, provided the songs and played piano.
		Fact is that I still prefer the versions on this album to several of the tracks on Newman's debut; Nilsson's spontaneous studio-smarts and seeming emotional directness as a singer trump Newman's painstaking orchestral arrangements and studious Fats Domino mumble.

		NSN'S 30TH-ANNIVERSARY reissue edition finds both Randy Newman's early songs and Harry Nilsson's decathlete voice ageless.
		Newman's piano playing is quiet and spare, and can't help but sound humbled by the labyrinthine multitracked vocals.
		Nilsson's team of voices peel away at Newman's firm, almost filmic sensibility ("The milk truck hauls the sun up/ the paper hits the door/ and the subway shakes my floor/ and I think about you").

		After the Northridge earthquake rumbled the ground at Harry Nilsson’s funeral in 1994, a joke made the rounds that the earthquake was the result of Nilsson finding out there were no bars in heaven.
		Nilsson sang covers and standards with a true songwriter’s grace and was able to make his own highly creative songs following ostensibly simple musical paths.
		Rufus Wainwright is the only one carrying the torch that was extinguished when Nilsson ran out of things to drink.

		At the same time, I was often frustrated by songwriting books written by authors who had no songwriting credentials, and I always longed for a book with people such as Randy Newman, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan or Carole King talking about how they wrote their famous songs.

		In 1969, he used his notoriety to champion the work of a then-unknown songwriter named Randy Newman.
