      @@keymack2477 The Beatles had tons of number ones before Three Dog Night emerged, going back to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" in 1963. And I'd forgotten about "Something." Harrison's beautiful song was paired with John's "Come Together" as a double-A side, and it did reach No. 1.

    They aren't brothers, but they sound good! The 3 singers are Danny Hutton, Cory Wells, and Chuck Negron, who took the lead here. For other TDN tunes, I'd recommend "Liar," "Out in the Country," and their cover of "Try A Little Tenderness." Prejudice perhaps, but those are my favorites of theirs. Oh, and "Black and White" is also a good one.

    One of the things that always fascinated me about this song was how the band took Harry Nilsson's original, dirge-like version and transformed it into an incredibly catchy rocker that makes you want to leap to your feet and dance while you sing along. My other favorite of theirs is their cover of Laura Nyro's "Eli's Coming," which matches "One" in it's energy, ear-catching appeal and danceability. And, no, the three lead singers are not brothers.

    The three vocalists of Three Dog Night were not brothers. Chuck Negron (the lead singer on One), Corey Wells and Danny Hutton formed together as the vocal group Redwood and did some preliminary recording with Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. When that fell through the three singers brought in the musicians Floyd Sneed (drums), Joe Schermie (bass), Michael Allsup (guitar) and Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards) and renamed themselves Three Dog Night. One was a top 10 hit in 1968 and helped propel the band to stardom.
    Three Dog Night was all over the radio from 1968 to 1974 with many top 40 hits. An interesting fact is that each lead singer managed to score a number one hit. Danny Hutton sang the lead on Black And White, Corey Wells sang the lead on Mama Told Me Not To Come, and Chuck Negron sang the lead on Joy To The World. All three hit the top of the top 40.

The 80s tried to bring back the fun, with some of the experimental elements of the 60s, but didn't quite match either. The 90s were split between commercialism and rebellion (which became commercialized) the 2000s leaned deep into finding the poppiest pop song. The 10s tried to be nostalgic without the feeling that the actual nostalgia lol

      Yes, definitely. Laura Nyro wrote it. She was one of greatest composers of the 1970s. And Nyro also wrote "Stoned Soul Picnic" (made a hit by 5th Dimension) and Wedding Bell Blues (also a hit by the 5th Dimension).

    I got to these guys in 1972 (I think) It was a great show. They came to Salt Lake City in the old Salt Palace and it was a fun night.

    Thanks, I think. I remember sitting on the floor of our apartment shortly after we were first married listening to this LP record on our GE wildcat Stereo record player. Now, 54 years later, she's gone and 1 is the longest number.
