Didn't Harry Nilsson die the week they released "Without You"?
Yes, or right in that vicinity. I remember because I was with my dad in the car coming back from something and Mariah's version came on the radio and he like sat there in total silence and listened to the whole thing -- which he never did, because he didn't like her much at all (aside randomly from the Dreamlover Def Club Mix which he thinks is awesome lol). He was a big Harry Nilsson fan.
I remember I played the live version for him off the VHS tape right after that and he was like "I don't like it, she oversings too much" lol.
