"A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night" is an album of classic 20th century standards performed by Harry Nilsson and Sinatra arranger Gordon Jenkins. The album is produced by Derek Taylor. This album is notable in being a standards album produced decades before standards albums started to become popular. The album met with modest chart success but is often regarded as the finest example of Nilsson's virtuosic singing. The title is an allusion to Shakespeare's "Henry V", Act 3 Chorus. Below is the track listing for the original LP release. It has since been reissued a few times with additional tracks and different running orders.
