WITHOUT YOU ALBUM INFO

Without You album cover Artist: Harry Nilsson
Album: Without You
Release Date:


"Without You" is a song originally recorded by Badfinger for their album ''No Dice'' (1970), and written by Peter Ham|Pete Ham and Tom Evans (music)|Tom Evans and produced by Geoff Emerick. Its verse was composed by Ham, originally titled "If It's Love", but had lacked a strong chorus. Evans had written a chorus without a strong verse, so the duo fused the two sections together. The protagonist of this ballad lets a lover know that they "can't live if living is without you". Badfinger's recording of the song, which is more brusque than its successors' versions, languished as an obscure album track until it was noticed a year later by Harry Nilsson.
