Harry Nilsson wanted to put together a team that could take on the Beatles. His singing and piano skills got him the job, but he would only perform in a rubber gorilla mask because of stage fright. Young girls speculated that he was so handsome they had to cover his face to give Mickey and Davey a chance at being favorited. The mask started a trend that would take over pop stardom.

I think Harry was still a computer programmer at that time, but thats my story and Im stickin to it.
Edit: Harry released his first album in 1966. It plays.
