Holbrook, if you haven’t already check this documentary out. It’s a fascinating look at Harry Nilsson and his extraordinary life. His friendship with John Lennon & Ringo Star. His work on gun control after Lennon’s death. His Irish wife Una O’Keefe (who I suspect was on a J-1 when he met her). Plenty of interviews and comments from the likes of Robin Williams, Yoko Ono, Van Dyke Parks, Randy Newman, and Micky Dolenz.

Even the story of the writing of “One (is the loneliest number)” is as fascinating as the man himself.
