In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Touring in support of the album
I have heard conflicting information about touring in support of the album. One source says Nilsson never toured, ever, because of stage fright. However, Frank W. Hoffmann wrote in the Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound that "touring with Nilsson helped [Newman] develop a cult following on college campuses." Billboard wrote an obituary of Nilsson that mentions "speculation" of stage fright, and proposes that "performing was in the blood", but does not discuss any touring or live performances. I am removing any mention of touring until I see better proof of it, such as flyers or such, from 1970, not counting one-offs such as the July 1970 Smothers Brothers TV show guest appearance.

 * In the DVD documentary "Who is Harry Nilsson..." it is stated that Nilsson never did the "usual" live performance/touring that many pop artists did during that time in support of recorded works. Nilsson's second wife mentions a time he performed in Great Britain for a small group of journalists as the only performance she could recall. She mentioned the fact that there was no stage as being a factor that may have contributed to Nilsson being comfortable in the situation.THX1136 (talk) 13:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Legacy: Dolenz Sings Nesmith
Former Monkee Mickey Dolenz in 2021 released an album of former Monkees bandmate Mike Nesmith’s songs, entitled Dolenz Sings Nesmith, which was clearly inspired by Nilsson Sings Newman. The inspiration is absolutely unmistakable, even beyond the album title - the cover art of DSN features the same old car as the NSN cover does. Someone (not me) should add a reference to that album into this entry. 2601:87:8200:45F0:645E:EDA0:538B:2774 (talk) 09:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
