Knnillssonn is the fourteenth album by
Harry Nilsson, released in July, 1977.
Knnillssonn was Nilsson's final album for
RCA Records and 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 the record heavily as his comeback album after previous efforts were released with little notice and promotion and were mostly missed by the public. Shortly after the album was issued,
Elvis Presley died suddenly, at age 42. Presley and Nilsson both recorded for RCA Records and the unexpected death of Elvis resulted in a complete overhaul of RCA's release schedules and promotion plans. Demand for Presley's 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, reissues and the promotion and repressing of Presley's back catalog.
