Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: "Himself" is the debut studio album by the distinctive Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan. Released in 1971, this album introduced his quirky, often introspective and observational lyrical style, combined with melodically rich piano-driven pop arrangements. The album includes early versions of some of his most beloved songs, such as "Nothing Rhymed" (which was a major hit in the UK and Europe) and "Matrimony." O'Sullivan's unique visual presentation (often sporting a cap and short trousers) was as distinctive as his music. "Himself" established him as a singular voice in the early 1970s pop landscape, known for his clever wordplay, sentimental yet often witty compositions, and a sound that bridged classic pop with the burgeoning singer-songwriter movement.
