The gentle dignity and sincerity of Nilsson"s singing stands at the very heart of this LP."...a wonderfully realized romantic album"On 1973"s A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night, Harry Nilsson, along with the help of a 39-piece orchestra, performs a collection of well-chosen standards from throughout the first half of the 20th century. This album is notable in being a standards album produced decades before standards albums started to become popular - and he did it better than most. The album features brilliant performances by both Nilsson and arranger Gordon Jenkins (noted for his work with Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong).Nilsson proved 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. These are not your standard interpretations, Nilsson"s lyrical phrasing is nothing short of astounding and redefining. Harry Nilsson was always a maverick artist, following his own sense of style. he took the risk of recording something, that might not have been too popular at the time, and showed his talent, his voice and his range.180g Virgin VinylNumbered, Limited EditionTracklistA1 Lazy Moon 3:20 Written-By - Bob Cole, Rosamund Johnson A2 For Me And My Gal 2:47 Written-By - R.
