      Don't know if NILSSON wanted all that notoriety, he was involved with alcoholic beverages, chemical mood adjusters, hanging out/destroying himself alongside John Lennon and doing other out of normal activities. Don't think he wanted too much spotlight and paparazzi, he enjoyed being alone with close buddies and not in magazines.

    Harry saved my life. I was clinically depressed, hated college, my girl broke up with me. Then, sitting in the Enoch Light listening room at JHU, I saw Pandemonium Shadow Show in the catalog, and filled out the request for the album on a whim. I put it on the turntable and within five minutes, I was totally consumed by Harry and his music. Lifted me up and got me over some really bad rough spots. God bless you Harry, wherever you are.

    It is hard to convey the craziness of those times. One example might help. In 1972 I was substitute teaching in my small home town in Illinois, and at the high school one day this song was blasting through the school's sound system between classes. I loved the song, and it really spoke to the freedom that young people were feeling. Harry Nilsson made some great music, and this may have been his best.

This song still makes me want to jump and my skin tingles with goose bumps. Love this long version, with the drum solo, the bass, ooops there goes the hair on my neck stand up!

    It's 8.28pm 24th October 2023 just played one of my all time favourites (it's usually a Beatles tune) this time it's Harry Nilsson Jump into The Fire the most Brilliant piece of music in fact Nilsson Shmilsson just too good, can't say enough.

    Jim Gordon must have had a super metronome in his head to play the beat in this song. His drumming raises the level and makes this track the amazing work that it is. Love it.❤

    Harry Nilsson was a visionary, way ahead of his time. My first Nilsson album was Son of Schilsson, and built a collection from there. I first heard his music
    in about 1979 and have loved it ever since. He is still sorely missed.

    I was at the Levi's store last night and this song came on. A very fitting song for the store. I Shazamed it and it was a guy I never heard of before. I was shocked to see that this song came out in 1971. It sounds like the song was just made. That's when you now it's a classic.
