Nilsson Schmilsson is the seventh album by Harry Nilsson. Commercially, this was Nilsson's strongest work, producing three of his better known songs and achieving acclaimed chart success. This album marks the first of two of Nilsson's albums produced by Richard Perry. It was ranked #84 on Pitchfork Media's "Top 100 Albums of the 1970's".[6] Two of Nilsson's self-penned songs, "Jump into the Fire" and "Coconut", subsequently became hits. The album performed well at the 1973 Grammy Awards, earning a nomination for Album of the Year, while "Without You," a cover of a song by the band Badfinger, won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
