Knnillssonn

Knnillssonn is the fourteenth studio album by the American musician Harry Nilsson, released in 1977.^{[1][citation needed]} Knnillssonn was Nilsson's final album for RCA Records.^[2] It was his personal favorite while recording it, as his voice had recovered from the damage done during the 1974 Pussy Cats sessions; his songs were more developed and his singing was in top form. RCA Records management agreed and had prepared to promote Knnillssonn heavily as his comeback album. Nilsson's last several albums had been released with little advance notice and promotion and were mostly overlooked by the public. Shortly after the release of Knnillssonn, Elvis Presley died unexpectedly on August 16, 1977, at age 42; Presley and Nilsson were both RCA recording artists and the sudden death of Elvis resulted in a complete overhaul of RCA's forthcoming release schedules and promotion plans. Immediately following Presley's death, demand for his recordings was so high, stores could not keep them in stock. Money and resources allotted to Knnillssonn and other new RCA releases was all redirected to promoting Presley's recently issued final album Moody Blue, as well as developing future Presley releases of unissued material, reissues and the promotion and repressing of Presley's extensive back catalog.

In 1995, the Chicago Tribune labeled Knnillssonn an "obscure near-masterpiece."^[7]
