“Everybody’s Talkin’ “ (1969 reissue) #6 10/11/1969

We’ve featured songs lately that were originally flops but became hits upon reissue. Today’s selection from Harry Nilsson falls along those lines. It was first released in late 1968 and bubbled under at #113. He wrote a different song to be considered for the soundtrack of “Midnight Cowboy” but the producers preferred this instead. Nilsson released the other track as his next single, which barely made the Top 40.
