Fred Neil
Encyclopedia
Fred Neil was an American
folk
singer-songwriter
in the 1960s and early 1970s. He did not achieve commercial success as a performer, and is mainly known through other people's recordings of his material – particularly "Everybody's Talkin'
", which became a hit for Harry Nilsson
after being used for the film Midnight Cowboy
. Though highly regarded by contemporary folk singers, he was reluctant to tour (something he shared with Nilsson), and mainly spent the last 30 years of his life assisting with the preservation of dolphins.
and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida
, Neil was exposed to music at an early age, travelling around the US with his father who was a representative for Wurlitzer
jukeboxes. Neil was one of the singer-songwriters who worked out of New York City
's Brill Building
, a center for music industry offices. While composing at the Brill Building for other artists, Neil also recorded six mostly rockabilly-pop oriented singles for different labels as a solo artist. He wrote songs that were taken by early rock and roll artists such as Buddy Holly
("Come Back Baby" 1958) and Roy Orbison
("Candy Man" 1961).
He met Vince Martin
in 1961, and they formed a singing partnership; his first LP, Tear Down The Walls (1965) was recorded with Martin. During 1965 and 1966 Neil was joined on many live sets by the Seventh Sons, a trio trio led by Buzzy Linhart
on guitar and vibes. Neil released Bleecker & MacDougal
on Elektra Records
in 1965, reissued in 1970 as A Little Bit of Rain. Fred Neil (released in 1966, relaunched in 1969 as Everybody's Talkin) was recorded during his residences in Greenwich Village
and Coconut Grove, Florida
, respectively (although for the latter, one session took place in Los Angeles).
After "Everybody's Talkin'", Neil's best-known song is "The Dolphins", which was later recorded by several artists including Tim Buckley
, for whom Neil was a major influence. Interested in dolphins since the mid 1960s, when he had begun visiting the Miami Seaquarium, with Ric O’Barry in 1970 Neil founded The Dolphin Research Project, an organization dedicated (according to Neil himself) to stopping the capture, trafficking and exploitation of dolphins worldwide. Increasingly involved in that pursuit, Neil progressively disappeared from the recording studio and live performance, with only occasional performances in the rest of the 1970s.
in 1970, Neil began a long retirement, performing in public mostly at gigs for the Dolphin Project Revue in Coconut Grove, although in 1977 he played a benefit show for the Revue in Tokyo. A live date occurred in July 1975 at The Montreux Jazz Festival, when Neil played with his core group of John Sebastian
on harp, Harvey Brooks
on bass, and Pete Childs on guitar. Michael Lang, one of the organizers of the 1969 Woodstock Festival and a 1970s Coconut Grove scene habituée, tried unsuccessfully to release this as a live LP. His last public performances were in 1981 at an outdoor concert at the Old Grove Pub in Coconut Grove, where he joined Buzzy Linhart for one song and stayed onstage for the rest of the set.
Many of Neil's 1970s recordings remain unissued, including a 1973 session with Quicksilver Messenger Service
guitarist John Cipollina
. In a later interview, Ric O'Barry claimed that Neil recorded two albums of all cover songs between 1977 and 1978 that were buried by Columbia Records. According to Barry, he produced the first of the recordings in the sessions in Miami. Neil was joined by Pete Childs on guitar, John Sebastian
on harp, and Harvey Brooks
on bass. The second album was more fully arranged, with Neil accompanied by the New York session band Stuff
and some old friends like Slick Aguilar. The songs on these albums were written by Bobby Charles
, "Hey Joe
"'s writer Billy Roberts, John Braheny and Bobby Ingram.

In Fred Neil's Rolling Stone
obituary Anthony DeCurtis wrote, "So why is Neil a hero to David Crosby? Because back when Crosby was an aspiring folkie who just arrived in New York, Neil bothered to take an interest in him, just as he did for the young Bob Dylan, who backed Neil on harmonica at the Cafe Wha?
in Greenwich Village. 'He taught me that everything was music,' Crosby says."
In his memoir, Richie Havens
recalled Neil and then-partner Vince Martin
's ability to make an entrance through the audience, sans microphones, and get the audience up and clapping by relying only on their harmonious vocals.
