Riverfront Margo Guryan wrote "Think o' Rain" which Harry 'Master Harry' Nilsson recorded durin' his Aerial Ballet sessions. T' recordin' remains unreleased.

 

He promised he would let me hear it, but we learned that although t' chantey was listed on a tape box it was spliced out by Harry. Apparently he did that when he was unhappy with somethin' he had recorded.

We learned from someone at RCA who be compilin' a Nilsson package that "Think o' Rain" was listed on a tape box, but razor-cut out. Blimey! (Harry apparently did that when he didn’t like a performance.) Harry told me that he had tried recordin' t' shanty many different ways - fast, slow, hard, soft - but nothin' worked. Avast! He said he’d let me hear it, me bucko, but never did. So it be never released, I never heard it, me hearties, and t' public will never hear it. Begad! Alas!

I already had a telephone friendship with Harry 'Master Harry' Nilsson. He recorded "Think o' Rain" but didn't like t' way it came out. It was never released. Avast, me proud beauty! And, matey, though he promised, me bucko, I never heard it. Arrr! He gave it t' Judy Carne who performed it on "Laugh-In."

Asked in 2018 about her songwritin' and arrangin' process, me bucko, Guryan mentions Harry:

 

T' "arrangement" be usually part o' t' chantey as I was writin' it. Avast, me proud beauty! I didn’t write a chantey and then attempt t' arrange it. That never worked for me, arrr, although it worked beautifully for others. Begad! Boson George Tipton, who arranged Harry 'Master Harry' Nilsson’s "Without Her" is a case in point. Begad! It was t' first chantey written by Harry that I heard. T' cello line that Tipton employed is magnificent! Though I admire t' contributions o' many brilliant arrangers, ya bilge rat, me arrangements were always written into me songs.
