Three Dog Night was more successful and more Rock'n'Roll than over half the bands in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The fact that they and other great bands like Jethro Tull, Grand Funk and Foreigner haven't been inducted proves how misguided that Hall of Fame is.
@@darylhoskins5696 It's amazing the number of great Rock bands that have been passed over in favor of pop singers and singer-songwriters who can't sing.
I always liked Chuck’s voice the best, but there is no right or wrong when people pick the best voice or best guitarist etc, it’s just personal taste and opinion
60 now and I can remember when I first started listening to them. They were my first inspiration when just learning to play drums. Worked out well and i never looked back. Saw them live during the 80s. ✌
From 1968-1974 they sold the most albums of all bands in that era. I am proud that Cory Wells was born in Buffalo, NY and raised as I was also. He past away living in Dunkirk, NY about an hour south of Buffalo, NY on Lake Erie. Cory was the main person to the band and the structure. A very down to earth humble family man. Thank You Cory for years of memories.
As a young teenager I joined the Three Dog Night fan club. I also joined the Cory Wells fan club because he was my favorite of the group. His real name was Emil Lewandowski. Tomorrow, October 20, 2021 will be the 6th year since he passes away. R. I. P. Cory.🙏🏼
Shout out from another native New Yorker! Born in the city, later on moved the family up to a little town called Olean, in Western NY. Sorry I missed them in that area!
I loved the vocals by Chuck on the song "Easy To Be Hard" Chuck, Cory and Danny were great singing harmony with the group! I seen them in concert several times and they put on a great show! RIP Cory👍👍
I ne4ver knew what happened to them since their last hits, "Shambala" in late summer 1973, and "The Show Must Go On" in early '74,so thanks for such a thorough story of all their changes.
Who gives a hoot if somebody else wrote their music. They belong in Rock and Roll hall of fame. Too bad a handful of music snobs determine an undermined future.
I loooooooove the heck out of this group. I still listen to their music often. Mama Told Me Not To Come One, Joy To The World, Shambala, Easy To Be Hard, Black and White, The Show Must Go On Out In The country A Change Is Gonna Come
You MUST look up the Brian Wilson song they recorded as Redwood: Time to Get Alone. I think it’s marvelous, and it’s annoying that the rest of The Beach Boys insisted that they record it first…
@@waldorfmartialarts8320 ... yesss ... that's the above mentioned Joy To The World !! ... Three Dog Night had so many great hits 🎶 and I always loved their multiple lead singers, especially Chuck Negron ... one of my favorite bands from the late 60s-80s, the era of my teens, 20s and 30s ... such great memories !! 💜💜
With my first check from my 82 subscriber paper route... a whopping $48.00... I bought three albums. They were $3.28 each. Steppenwolf - Gold, Creedence - Bayou Country, and Three Dog Night - Golden Biscuits. Loved this band.
I was a skeptic until my girlfriend bought tickets for us at the Felt Forum. It was a great show. The musicians were excellent and the lead singers blew it away !
3DN was my personal favorite band in the early 70s. Sure everybody loved the Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin, but somehow 3DN was mine. Awesome lead and harmony vocals and song selections by the best songwriters of the day. Live at the Forum is still one of the iconic Live albums of all time. Sorry I never saw them Live. Later lineup changes were hard to follow- you need a scorecard. Didn’t realize they had some many drug problems. Thanks for the detailed video
Saw them at the old Century theater in Paramus, New Jersey in early 1970! I was seventeen years old and a senior in high school! They were amazing! Had a mad crush on Cory Wells ever since! Shame he and Chuck never made peace before Cory died! They made such beautiful music together! Rock in peace Cory! You guys were the best back in the day! 💜🤘🎸
Last time I saw three dog was in Lancaster, Ca AV fair...They were so good we stayed for second show...Danny was super nice..borrowed my pen to do auto graphs then I got my autograph on program 🤗🤗🤗
1963 Corvair with an under dash 8 track; 3DN, Led Zep 2 and Otis to choose from. They were amazing to see in concert, the band and the singers. Probably the last concert I saw before getting drafted.
The snobs at the R&R HOF, will never induct 3 Dog Night, because they didn't write their own songs. Neither did Elvis, but, I guess that's a different story.
@@alandesgrange9703 Most of the inductees from the 50' and particularly Mowtown and Tamla from the 60's were hit factory singers yet a lot of those "singers" are in. Mind you they was great talents. But If they're in TDN should be in given how many hits they had.
@@louiegallardo7562 I agree. There's a lot of artists in the hall, that I would not consider rock. But, it seems that if you are a rock artist, you are held to a different standard. Look at all the hits The Grass Roots had. They will never make it in either.
@@alandesgrange9703 I don't know about that Alan they have a better chance than most seeing that they allow convicted murders in isn't Phil Spector still in? Bobby Beausoleil was on death row ( Not Records) for his part in one of the Manson murders. Now serving a life sentence because California doesn't do the DP any more. Besides Midnight Confessions is a great song.
I'm 69,--- 3 dog night Was the 1st band I ever saw In concert live. Saint Louis Missouri ,Kiel Auditorium, I was still in high school and that was the high of the day, It was quite an experience I'll never forget!!!!!!✌✌✌🤘🤘🤘
I have seen Three Dog Night live twice in my lifetime. The first time was on February 7, 1969, at Hec Edmundson Pavilion on the University of Washington campus. They weren't even the headliners - Steppenwolf was, but nearly everyone there thought Three Dog Night was better. The second time was 50 years and 2 weeks later, in Columbia, SC. They were still wonderful.
Same here in a way first time was July 9,1972 Pocono Mountains 🏔 second time Seneca Niagara Casino 2004 my Nieborhood but I’m blocked from All Seneca Venues because I asked Security of Said Casino to Let Me Give My Biological Daughter a gift 🎁 a Celtic Harp well long story short I got my money back for the three tickets 🎟 I bought and Steve Washburn Vice President of Security Dropped Dead 💀 a month after he sent me the second letter barring me for Life June 2013 RIP 🪦 asswipe
I saw them in the late 1990’s with Cory and Danny! I was somewhat doubtful they would put on a good show without Chuck. No sir, it wasn’t good, it was fantastic!
In 69 they played in Eugene OR as the lead in band to Steppenwolf... Steppenwolf was BOOOED off the stage as everyone wanted more 3 dog nite...... I wasn't there but my underage friends snuck in to watch it....
T.D.N. has been one of my favs since I was five in 1972.I was obsessed with Chuck! I still listen to them regularly.Theyhave been so underrated and left out of much deserved appreciation.They should be in Rock hall of fame.They ruled the early 70’s . Sold ore alblumsandwon more awards then any other bands at that time!
Mike Huckaby had him on his show a few years ago. I wonder if he and the band still talk. If they ever get inducted into the HOF, I wonder if they would come together. When Chicago was inducted, Peter Cetera wasn't there.
I saw them at one of their very first gigs. They played at the National Guard Armory, a small concrete building on the edge of Las Vegas. This was before drugs tore the band apart. They were so tight and professional, different from every other band out at that time. Before drugs, they were fantastic!
The narrator needs to speak with better enunciation of the English language and learn how to pronounce the names of band members and record producers before he begins the narration of his videos. Speaking hurriedly at times is difficult to understand.
Several years ago ,I gut to see Chuck Negron at the Santa Monica Convention Center ,he was PHENOMENAL,also very lucky to be alive as he stated before he performed I had all thier albums on vinyl,sadly ,I lost all my belongings in a fire many years ago ,but these guys are legends in my opinion.
I just saw them on 4-29-22 in Biloxi. It was the best concert I have ever seen. As a matter of fact - they announced a NEW ALBUM being released. They played a new song from it and got a standing ovation. They are still AWESOME!!!❤❤❤❤
When you are out checking your trap line in northern Manitoba at minus 35 degreesF you need three dogs in your tent to keep you warm at night. That is a 3 dog night
@@barbaravecchio5600 In Australia. The aboriginies, in the winter, made holes in the ground and slept in the holes with their dogs, who had very heavy winter coats. One dog on a chilly night, two dogs on a cold night, and a very cold night was a three dog night.
As a teen I began to grow my hair long because of the 3 dogs. What a great era to be a young long haired hippie and digging all the 3 dog night music. BTW, I can tell that this narrator was not around when three dog night was around.
@@FrankNStein-mr1mp Not everyone knows that Jeremiah the bullfrog was quite the philosopher as well. When asked his opinion on the passage of time,, he thought a bit, then responded, "Time is fun when you're having flies". Of course, he said that in Bullfrogese, which is a very nuanced language, and there's no guarantee that the interpreter got it right. 😆😆😆
I saw the band perform in 1987, on a make-shift stage, in a parking lot, in Richmond, Va., at a street fair. I felt badly for them to see that they had fallen so far down to this fate.
@Jimjimmyjames Smith: I think you meant to say "couldn't" collect royalties . . . They would, however, still be receiving royalties on continued album sales and radio play, even though they don't receive royalties from publishing.
Love 3DN i grew up during the late 60s/early-mid 70s hit after hit from 1968 thru 1974 and one of all time faves from that era...my favorites are "Out in the country Easy to be hard Eli's coming...this 56 yr old knows his music..hahaha.
Another great video, amazing group. Again I learnt something new (the Rufus connection). BTW, Sault Ste. Marie is pronounced "Soo" Ste Marie. Now I taught you something! LOL😉
Saw them at Deadwood Mountain Grand with my Bride and two daughters a few years ago, actually surprised my daughters with the show. To this day it is their Favorite concert!! They had the joint Rocking! Great music, and Chuck still has a great voice. Who doesn’t know and sing along to “ Joy to the World AND Shambala”?
It sounds like you're trying to rush through your script as quickly as possible, which is compromising your delivery. If your audience wants a faster delivery, they can always just set the audio to 1.25X or 1.5X... so you don't really have to try to sprint through it.
It’s a shame that such a band as Three Dog Night would end up falling apart, they were such a talented group with so much potential, the double live album they produced had so many great songs on it, my parents bought that album and I spent hours listening to it, much of the material was well written and the musicianship was top notch. Old Fashioned Love Song, Eli’s Coming, One, Brickyard Blues, Mama Told Me Not Come, Black and White, Joy To The World, and many other great songs were on their records. Had they been together when I was in High-School I most likely would have attended one of their concerts. It’s too bad that they didn’t tour with Blood Sweat and Tears, that would have been a great combination. I had always wondered what happened with them, they essentially fell off the face of the Earth, as far as we all knew. Many other good bands fell apart shortly after they had gotten airborne, it’s too bad that these guys didn’t stick it out a bit longer, they would have made good candidates for a Las Vegas residency. Thank you for posting this video, and answering the question! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨
The "Ajax Lady" from Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke is who's responsible for the name Three Dog Night, she was Danny Hutton's girlfriend at the time and suggested the name. Her name was June Fairchild and aside from giving them their name she was in several movies including the 1971 Rock Hudson movie Pretty Maids All in a Row and 1974's Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges and several others.
I had to watch it with the subtitles on. Even the "auto translator" had trouble understanding him sometimes. He should just slow down a little, and try not to sound like he's reading copy, and he'll be fine.
Really sloppy writing and editing on this. One example has you stating that "Mama Told Me Not To Come" reached #11 while showing the chart with the song at #12. You also might have mentioned that Cory Wells's "almost comical" vocal style on that song was his emulation of Randy Newman's vocal (who wrote and originally recorded it.). You also skipped wildly from discussing the It Ain't Easy LP at length, to abruptly talking about "Joy To The World" which was on their fourth album Naturally. You also referred to "Axton" without explaining who he (Hoyt Axton, the songwriter) was. And of course you completely skipped over their second LP, Suitable For Framing. There's probably more mistakes in the part after the discussion of "Joy To The World" but I stopped watching.
Have loved Three Dog Night ever since the first time I heard them. I saw them in 81 or 82 I think,it was at the Orange Show in San Bernardino Ca it wss like the county fair one of the best concerts I've ever seen and it was only $3.00 to get in.
Aside from the vocalists, this band didn't have any "virtuoso" musicians...what it did have is absolutely perfect chemistry and matching skill level to make an amazing ensemble. Been a huge fan since I was a wee child. They were my first concert as a pre teen...first time smelling weed. My best pal's big sis took us. Rebels! (late 60's) Absolutely blown away by their performance.
Isn’t that enough? The Beatles weren’t virtuoso musicians. Very few pop artists are. The big drawback for me was that they didn’t write their own songs and weren’t part of a musical movement and so lacked an identity. Their versatility meant that they fell between different stools which means that they’ve been forgotten, more than their talent warranted.
I saw 'em in 1974, and Chuck Negron was so high that he didn't even know where he was. He chugged orange juice for the entire show, which I've been told, indicates that he was trying to replenish his vitamin C levels, which are said to be depleted by LSD or "acid" use. I found out later that he had struggled with a heroin addiction for years, and had lost all of his worldly possessions, including all the gold records and other awards, and eventually ended up on Skid Row. Such a waste of God-given talent.
The fact that Rap/ Hip Hop is inducted into the “Rock n Roll” Hall of Fame is just insane. Rap and Hip Hop have enough history and artists to do a Hall of Fame dedicated to that form of music
I saw them on their reunion tour in 1984 with my now ex wife... those guys were amazing. it was the all original group at a place called the Cotillion in Wichita Kansas.. Its sounds like my marriage broke up at the same time as chuck left the band..
Three Dog Night was a band ,which as known for their vocalizations ? and numerous hit status ,and ''pop'' image ! .I can't remember them ''stretching it out'' with their band as in ''live performances ?. Were their good musicians in the background ? .I believe they were much as the Grassroots ''hit wonders'',though probably tells why they are not HOF material !. I like those hits also, though one looks at them as ELO ? another ""hit machine'',but they had a great musical band behind them ,classical in theme, but could bust a huitar solo . I don't know why they are not remembered better, though a great name !
Three Dog Night and WHITESNAKE? Those are two names I never thought I'd ever hear mentioned in the same breath! I didn't figure anyone who was in Three Dog Night would be cool enough to play in Whitesnake!
Three Dog Night was more successful and more Rock'n'Roll than over half the bands in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The fact that they and other great bands like Jethro Tull, Grand Funk and Foreigner haven't been inducted proves how misguided that Hall of Fame is.
misguided indeed
I could not agree more!
Yes Sir , I Live in Ohio and will not attend the Bullshit Hall of Fame!
Look How they treated , Paul Rogers , Great Singer for over 50 Years , Free , Bad Company , The Firm !
@@darylhoskins5696 It's amazing the number of great Rock bands that have been passed over in favor of pop singers and singer-songwriters who can't sing.
Cory had the best voice in RnR ...nobody to this day comes close. RIP Mr. Wells
So true! What a great voice. Cory was soulful, Chuck was smooth, and Danny’s voice was rich.
Great voice for sure but 3 dog night was not rock n roll..
I always liked Chuck’s voice the best, but there is no right or wrong when people pick the best voice or best guitarist etc, it’s just personal taste and opinion
Hutton and Negron were great too! Remember when some bands had 2 or 3 great singers?? Rap and hip hop groups dont even have ONE!
@@kent2360BS.
Three dog night is still outstanding!!! One of my favorite bands of all time!!!
Still? So you think Hutton and Allsup are TDN?
@stevenliniak3625 * That ain't Three Dog Night! Not even close.
It's worth a mention..Out in The Country... even though it wasn't a hit was one of there most wonderful songs.
And when it’s sung live in concert it’s thrilling.
My absolute favorite TDN song!
60 now and I can remember when I first started listening to them. They were my first inspiration when just learning to play drums. Worked out well and i never looked back. Saw them live during the 80s. ✌
From 1968-1974 they sold the most albums of all bands in that era. I am proud that Cory Wells was born in Buffalo, NY and raised as I was also.

As a teenager one of my favorite bands!!
My Cousin Helena was Married to Mike Alsup.
Still one of my favorites today!!
Wow! What a convoluted history. It’s hard to follow without drawing a chart. Still love their music.
I was a skeptic until my girlfriend bought tickets for us at the Felt Forum. It was a great show. The musicians were excellent and the lead singers blew it away !
Danny is touring with mostly different musicians. We lost Corey and the keyboardist to cancer and Chuck has never returned.
Loved those guys in the early seventies...I was thirteen when I first heard them.
Nothing seems to destroy a band and its members faster than success. What a long and winding road Three Dog Night had.
Long in winding Road - great name for a song, but someone else may already have it.
The best song they did in my opinion was LIAR. To this day it's one of my favorites.
I rediscovered this band after hearing “Shambala” for the first time on “Lost”, my favorite TV show at that time.
I love that song, and have the single somewhere.
Lol yep . I'm watching Lost now for the first time . Good stuff

They had the joint Rocking! Great music, and Chuck still has a great voice. Who doesn’t know and sing along to “ Joy to the World AND Shambala”?
I remember listening to 'Joy To The World' in second grade. That was 'the song' at that time in history.
Absolutely! 4th grade was a rockin' . A magical song indeed!
@@pappyroxx1841 4th grade. Wow, you're way older than me.😅
Reminds me of high school like so many bands of that time!
It sounds like you're trying to rush through your script as quickly as possible, which is compromising your delivery. If your audience wants a faster delivery, they can always just set the audio to 1.25X or 1.5X... so you don't really have to try to sprint through it.
Can't listen to this garbled mess.
Dude you need to ENUCIATE!!
It’s a shame that such a band as Three Dog Night would end up falling apart, they were such a talented group with so much potential, the double live album they produced had so many great songs on it, my parents bought that album and I spent hours listening to it, much of the material was well written and the musicianship was top notch. Old Fashioned Love Song, Eli’s Coming, One, Brickyard Blues, Mama Told Me Not Come, Black and White, Joy To The World, and many other great songs were on their records. Had they been together when I was in High-School I most likely would have attended one of their concerts. It’s too bad that they didn’t tour with Blood Sweat and Tears, that would have been a great combination. I had always wondered what happened with them, they essentially fell off the face of the Earth, as far as we all knew.
Many other good bands fell apart shortly after they had gotten airborne, it’s too bad that these guys didn’t stick it out a bit longer, they would have made good candidates for a Las Vegas residency.
Thank you for posting this video, and answering the question!
Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨
Just seen them live at Andiamos in Warren Michigan they were FABULOUS
The "Ajax Lady" from Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke is who's responsible for the name Three Dog Night, she was Danny Hutton's girlfriend at the time and suggested the name.
Her name was June Fairchild and aside from giving them their name she was in several movies including the 1971 Rock Hudson movie Pretty Maids All in a Row and 1974's Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges and several others.
That stuff is really good. It has to be. It has blue specks in it.

Bolivian blue flake🤮🤮🤮🤣🤣🤣
Growing up in Miami Florida loved three dog night in the late 60s and early 1970s!!!!
Joe Shermy used to sleep on my couch when he was down and out in 1995.
I loved this band when I was a kid. Then I heard Led Zeppelin.
I went to their concert in Vancouver around ‘ 71 .... after my first big concert ... which was Ten years After ! I just about feel asleep 😴
The narrator mumbles a lot. Glad I bought that rare book about TDN, it tells the whole story.
Still got the 8 track tapes!! ❤love them always!
Interesting but hard to follow since the narrator kept stumbling over his words.
I belonged to the Columbia house record club. Almost every album i ordered was three dog night. My favorite band of the early 70's.
Thank you for posting this interesting video.
Your voice could use some enunciation to make your message easier to understand. Great work!
Yeah. Pretty hard to follow.
I think it's because he's trying to speak too quickly.
I had to watch it with the subtitles on. Even the "auto translator" had trouble understanding him sometimes. He should just slow down a little, and try not to sound like he's reading copy, and he'll be fine.
I'm relieved to hear it wasn't just me. I couldn't understand half of what he was saying!
Totally agree! Probably good research, but the delivery was pretty bad.
Great band 🎸 great music 🎶
Really sloppy writing and editing on this. One example has you stating that "Mama Told Me Not To Come" reached #11 while showing the chart with the song at #12. You also might have mentioned that Cory Wells's "almost comical" vocal style on that song was his emulation of Randy Newman's vocal (who wrote and originally recorded it.). You also skipped wildly from discussing the It Ain't Easy LP at length, to abruptly talking about "Joy To The World" which was on their fourth album Naturally. You also referred to "Axton" without explaining who he (Hoyt Axton, the songwriter) was. And of course you completely skipped over their second LP, Suitable For Framing. There's probably more mistakes in the part after the discussion of "Joy To The World" but I stopped watching.
Not the best delivery either lol
No rehearsal?
Have loved Three Dog Night ever since the first time I heard them. I saw them in 81 or 82 I think,it was at the Orange Show in San Bernardino Ca it wss like the county fair one of the best concerts I've ever seen and it was only $3.00 to get in.
Love 3 dog night. My favorite song is Joy to the World
Hoyt Axton also wrote The Pusher for Steppenwolf, and co-wrote The No No Song for Ringo Starr, proving he was no goonie.
Aside from the vocalists, this band didn't have any "virtuoso" musicians...what it did have is absolutely perfect chemistry and matching skill level to make an amazing ensemble.
Been a huge fan since I was a wee child.
They were my first concert as a pre teen...first time smelling weed. My best pal's big sis took us. Rebels! (late 60's)
Absolutely blown away by their performance.
Isn’t that enough? The Beatles weren’t virtuoso musicians. Very few pop artists are. The big drawback for me was that they didn’t write their own songs and weren’t part of a musical movement and so lacked an identity. Their versatility meant that they fell between different stools which means that they’ve been forgotten, more than their talent warranted.
I saw 'em in 1974, and Chuck Negron was so high that he didn't even know where he was. He chugged orange juice for the entire show, which I've been told, indicates that he was trying to replenish his vitamin C levels, which are said to be depleted by LSD or "acid" use. I found out later that he had struggled with a heroin addiction for years, and had lost all of his worldly possessions, including all the gold records and other awards, and eventually ended up on Skid Row. Such a waste of God-given talent.
The fact that Rap/ Hip Hop is inducted into the “Rock n Roll” Hall of Fame is just insane. Rap and Hip Hop have enough history and artists to do a Hall of Fame dedicated to that form of music
Chuck almost killed himself with herion.
Mike Keeley is my Uncle. I have a couple of awesome childhood memories of the band.
Love their music
They played before our fireworks show in Kokomo Indiana on July fourth this year.
A lot of band and musician names tossed around but the two words that reached out and grabbed me - Electric Prunes.
Re read it, don't leave the mistakes in...
Them and Bread were my favorite bands in the early 70s good happy vibes from them
They were a powerhouse with everything they performed...I remember Denny Hutton did a single called Rose's and Rainbows are you...
I loved that band.
Great Group Glad I've Got the Best of 1970s CD. Should Be in R & R Hall of Fame.
I saw them on their reunion tour in 1984 with my now ex wife... those guys were amazing. it was the all original group at a place called the Cotillion in Wichita Kansas.. Its sounds like my marriage broke up at the same time as chuck left the band..
Seen them twice in my life, first time Pocono Mountains 🏔 July 1972
Second time Seneca Niagara Casino free outside concert 2004
Loved Three Dog Night.
Three Dog Night was a band ,which as known for their vocalizations ? and numerous hit status ,and ''pop'' image ! .I can't remember them ''stretching it out'' with their band as in ''live performances ?. Were their good musicians in the background ? .I believe they were much as the Grassroots ''hit wonders'',though probably tells why they are not HOF material !. I like those hits also, though one looks at them as ELO ? another ""hit machine'',but they had a great musical band behind them ,classical in theme, but could bust a huitar solo . I don't know why they are not remembered better, though a great name !
They were the first concert I saw in 1974. Huntsville AL.
Me too!
For God's sake, slow down just a bit. This is a chore to try to listen too.
Saw TDN with America in the 9os at elko nv. Both bands together at end. Great show!
What language is the narrator speaking in? He sounds like he just got out of the dentist's office.
They put out so much great music.
I remember buying one of their albums at Woolworth store in early 70s as a kid.
This narrator has a LIPSE!
Three Dog Night and WHITESNAKE? Those are two names I never thought I'd ever hear mentioned in the same breath! I didn't figure anyone who was in Three Dog Night would be cool enough to play in Whitesnake!
Exceptionally well Done, Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome
