Anniversary and appreciation …

… The Originality of a Maverick Matchup - WSJ. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Fifty years ago, such an album was released: “Nilsson Sings Newman,” a maverick matchup of two rising singer-songwriters. Randy Newman supplied the quirky songs and played piano, while Harry Nilsson eschewed his own gifted songwriting to sing and to arrange the background vocals. Released In February 1970, the recording is a jewel of originality, understatement and studio wizardry.
