The Life and Times of Fred Neil: “He Was an Extremely Sensitive Soul”
Fred Neil emerged in the early 1960s as a seminal folk‑rock songwriter whose baritone and 12‑string guitar style captivated peers like Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, and David Crosby. His modest catalog produced the timeless hit “Everybody’s Talkin’,” later popularized by Harry Nilsson and featured in Midnight Cowboy.

He died in 2001, leaving a legacy carried forward by countless cover versions and the reverence of folk‑rock’s founding generation.
