On this day in 1972 – Harry Nilsson Hits No. 1 with ”Without You”

On this day in 1972 – Harry Nilsson started a four-week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with his version of the Badfinger song ‘Without You.’ He had heard Badfinger’s recording at a party and mistook it for a Beatles song. After realizing it was not, he decided to cover the song for his 1971 album Nilsson Schmilsson. He wanted his version of the song to be a stark, but producer Richard Perry convinced him to turn it into a grand, crashing, theatrical monster-ballad, complete with orchestra. His vocal was recorded in a single take and his performance was rewarded with Nilsson’s second Grammy Award.
