#music, GREAT AMERICAN BANDS Part 6: Three Dog Night

This was one of my favourite bands back in High School. They came out with hit after hit. The first one I remember was «One«, but, here are all the hits from this 1967 band from California:

«An Old Fashioned Love Song» – Negron
«Black and White» – Hutton
«Celebrate» – Hutton (Verse 1), Negron (Verse 2), Wells (Verse 3), who sings melody through the end refrain
«Easy to Be Hard» – Negron
«Eli’s Coming» – Wells
«Joy to the World» – Negron
«Let Me Serenade You» – Wells
«Liar» – Hutton
«Mama Told Me (Not to Come)» – Wells
«Never Been to Spain» – Wells
«One» – Negron
«One Man Band» – Hutton sings melody with Negron on harmony on verses, then Negron takes the lead through the end refrain
«Out in the Country» – Group vocal in unison
«Pieces of April» – Negron
«Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)» – Wells
«Shambala» – Wells
«Sure As I’m Sittin’ Here» – Wells
«The Family of Man» – Hutton (Verse 1), Negron (Verse 2), Wells (Verse 3)
«The Show Must Go On» – Negron
«Til the World Ends» – Negron
«Try a Little Tenderness» – Wells
«Your Song» – Hutton

Three Dog Night was formed by their three top singers, Chuck Negron, Cory Wells, and Danny Hutton. They added Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards), Joe Schermie (bass), Michael Allsup (guitar), and Floyd Sneed (drums). Together they had 21 Billboard Top 40 hits between 1969 and 1975, and three of them hit number one.

A hell of an American band. And folks, they are still around…
