Even though 'Without You' is widely regarded as Harry Nilsson's signature song, he didn't actually write it himself. The songwriter credits belong to Badfinger band members Peter Ham and Tom Evans who originally released the song in 1970. It wasn't initially released as a single, so nobody was familiar with the song until Nilsson gave it a lush, or...
Nilsson first came across the song after hearing it at a Laurel Canyon party in 1971, thinking it was initially a song by The Beatles. By chance, Badfinger were actually signed to The Beatles' label Apple Records, so Nilsson submitted a demo to their former publicity head Derek Taylor.

The most notable covers of 'Without You' have come from Air Supply, Dame Shirley Bassey, Glen Campbell, T.G. Shepherd, and Mariah Carey. Explaining how her version came to fruition, Mariah said: ...
"Without You" is not the kind of song Nilsson, who died in 1994, would have written. His compositions were far more acerbic, and he took pains to avoid the topic of love (or lack of it). Nilsson first came across this song at a Laurel Canyon party in 1971 and thought it was a Beatles song.
Without You Lyrics: No, I can't forget this evening / Or your face as you were leaving / But I guess that's just the way the story goes / You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow...
