"Senza di te"


An Italian cover of Badfinger's classic "Without You," featured in a movie I enjoyed watching yesterday evening.  The Farewell is adapted from a story I first heard in a segment of This American Life; the movie has a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is well worth an evening's viewing.

    Harry Nilsson also did a good cover of this song.

    Everyday we learn. I always thought Harry Nilsson wrote the song.

      I always think it's a trifle sad that, superb songwriter that he was, Nilsson's two biggest hits ("Everybody's Talkin'"; "Without You") were written by others. On the other hand, he did write a top-5 hit for Three Dog Night...
