About this album

Flash Harry finds Harry Nilsson in sharp pop-rock form, balancing sly humour with the melodic ease that made him one of American pop’s most distinctive songwriters. Issued in 1980, the album closes out a restless late-1970s period with a set that moves from the self-referential opening of Harry to playful, stylish material such as I Don’t Need You and It’s So Easy. Nilsson’s voice remains expressive and unforced, and the writing keeps his gift for memorable hooks intact even as the record reflects the more polished sound of the era. It is a compact reminder of his knack for turning personality into pop.
