In 1963, Harry recorded a demo of a song called 'Wig Job' and was
allowed to record one of his own songs, 'Donna I Understand' for the
B-side. Jack Tracy, a Mercury executive heard the single and said 'I
like the singer and I like the song 'Donna I Understand,' but the
other side I don't like!''

'So, as a result of that, I got signed by Mercury, and I said (to the
song publisher), 'Bye!' They kept me on the label for a year and they
didn't put anything out, and finally they put that one single out.'
The single was released under the name 'Johnny Niles.'

I'd love to share with you regarding Harry Nilsson, his life and his music.
