“Everybody’s Talkin’ “ (1968) #113 8/24/1968

This totally flopped the first time around for Harry Nilsson, but reached the Top 10 a year later when it was on the “Midnight Cowboy” soundtrack. No, Nilsson didn’t write it - Fred Neil (who?) wrote and recorded the song first in 1966. Neil soon moved to the Florida Keys, living solely off the writing royalties from Harry’s version. Also used for the “Forrest Gump” soundtrack. Video is from Germany’s “Beat Club.”
