About Jump into the Fire

"Jump into the Fire" is a song by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, released on his 1971 album Nilsson Schmilsson. It was also issued as the album's second single, after "Without You", and peaked at number 27 on America's Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 16 in Canada. Written by Nilsson, the song is in the hard rock style and marked a departure from his previous work. The recording was produced by Richard Perry and includes a segment where the bass player, Herbie Flowers, audibly detunes his instrument. "Jump into the Fire" gained further recognition following its inclusion as the soundtrack to a pivotal scene in Martin Scorsese's 1990 gangster thriller Goodfellas. It also featured prominently in the 2015 film A Bigger Splash, starring Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton. more »
