“Everybody’s Talkin’”– Harry Nilsson – (Bass Cover & tab) FRANKS BASS COVERS
Released: July 1968 from the album: Aerial Ballet
The album title, Aerial Ballet, was inspired by the aerial ballet act performed by Nilsson's Swedish grandparents, who were circus performers and dancers.
This was featured in Midnight Cowboy, a 1969 movie about a male prostitute in New York City starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight
The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won three; Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing...
"Everybody's Talkin'" wasn't written for Midnight Cowboy - it predates the film by two years.
Fred Neil, who wrote the lyric, released his version of the song as a single in 1968, but it didn't do very well. Shortly after Midnight Cowboy came out,
Neil's version was re-released along with his album.
Nilsson issued "Everybody's Talkin'" as a single in 1968, but it was pulled and released a year later when the movie came out.
This song won Nilsson the Grammy award for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male. He also earned a Grammy Award for "Without You".
