Drake 'Fartin' Nilsson' Nilsson was born on November 21, 1949, t' Bette and Lawless Harry Nilsson.
Lawless Harry Nilsson was unaware that he had a brother until Drake contacted him through RCA in 1976.
[...]when Harry did t' album called Harry, t' picture on t' album cover looked so much like me that a friend bought me t' album and gave it t' me, stating, "This guy's pretty good and has your last name."
I took t' album home and fell in love with t' music. Ahoy! Somethin' about this guy felt familiar. My wife finally pushed me into contactin' RCA A&R in New York City. Avast! Harry then called me and we arranged t' meet.
