Is that Glen Campbell playing gtr on that one. Freddy Neil wrote the song. 535764@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Feb 2007 01:35:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/23/181558.php#comment-374696 Gordon, I have to agree with you about "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" theme. Fred Neil wrote "Everybody's Talkin'". Neil could have been one of the greats, but he quit the business at his peak. 374696@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 May 2006 09:31:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/23/181558.php#comment-374643 "A Little Touch.." is one of those albums that you have to listen to, trying to ignore the orchestra, and just pay attention to that wonderful voice. Yes, it would have been much nicer with a smaller group, or a better arranger, but Nilsson's voice is magic. 374643@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 May 2006 07:40:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/23/181558.php#comment-374512 Uneven results aside, it's good to see Nilsson get some extra attention, though, for good or bad, I can't think of him without thinking of his theme song for the TV sitcom "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" ("People let me tell you 'bout my best friend..."). 374512@blogcritics.org Tue, 23 May 2006 23:10:10 EDT
