Negron's honesty about his own struggles and the band's dissolution offers a valuable lesson about the importance of balance, self-care, and seeking support in times of adversity.
@@FactsVerseI do love the updates you provide, it's nice to see how the groups are doing in these modern times. I enjoy a good story, thank you so much.
I was 12 years old in 68… I heard Three Dog Night songs everywhere growing up! Absolutely LOVED them ❤ The songs are just as powerful today and stir the same emotions up in me as they did 56 years ago!
Three Dog Night was the first album I ever owned. I loved them-I still love them. ‘Play Something Sweet’ and ‘Sure as I’m Sittin Here’ are two great, not-so-well-known but awesome songs by them. I was actually able to see them in concert in a canyon outdoors. Magical!
Seen Chuck recently @ a casino. He still has it. Hit all the notes. Sang all the 3 Dog Nights songs himself. Took pictures with myself and my girlfriend. He was a real nice guy, and great show 😎 🎤 🎶 🎉
"Cry a Little Tenderness" sung by the most talented, beautiful, incredible showman to ever take the stage. What a great, great talent. Someone needs to write a book. So thankful we still have all his recording and videos today for us to enjoy forever. You were the best Cory - simply the best.
Undoubtedly, "The Show Must Go On", is my all time favorite, even when I was listening to it as a kid in Brooklyn.....and most of all because, "I wasted time, wasted, wasted time...." That one line still resonates in my mind several decades later. WOW! I can definitely relate to that! Not to mention Chuck Negron's powerful sounding voice! Thank you Chuck for putting out that song during one of my toughest moments as a lost kid in Brooklyn! I'm praying for you, & may you now use your gifted talents to glorify The Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
Three Dog Night has been a favorite group of mine for a long time and I still remember hearing them for the first time when my oldest brother bought their album, "It Ain't Easy" in 1970. My favorite song by them is "Out In The Country."
All be 60 in oct that song was a favorite when i was a like 9 years old i just heard it a couple weeks ago in a store i was like wow it only gets better
I loved ThreeDog Night. I was a little kid when they became famous. Just like the Beatles. I love Classic rock. From the 60s to the 80s. You know your getting old when the music you grew up with is now Classic! 😆
My favorite songs by 3 dog night are sung by Cory Wells, A change is gonna come and Let me seranade you. shows Corey's vocal range. My vision of 3 dog night would be Cory Wells, Steve Perry of Journey, Lou Gramm of Foreigner. IMAGINE THAT??? WOW!!!!
I had the good fortune to see them live back in 1974 in West Palm Beach, Florida. All I know is that they put on a great performance. They were my first concert and will always be my favorite concert. From what I’ve read, Cory Wells never got into the drug thing and stayed with his wife till he died. RIP Cory Wells. I can still see him smiling and singing 50 years later.
What I remember most about TDN was the magnitude of the hit Joy to the World. I was living in Milwaukee back then, 1971, and the Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA championship. It was a week long party in all the downtown bars. The song that resonated the backgroud to this festive time was Joy to the World. A special time, a timeless song.
Been a lifelong fan of 3 Dog Night. Saw Chuck Negron when he was playing with The Grass Roots. At the same time 2 Dog Night was playing at the State Fair...lol. I went to this concert mainly to see the Grass Roots but Chuck just blew them away with his band. I couldn't believe how great he sounded and what a showman he was. Out In The Country is still one of my fav songs of all-time.
One of the greatest bands to ever exist. I spent my youth listening to Three Dog Night and every now and then even today at age seventy I flash back and listen to their great music. Sad that they ended this way.
Jimmy Greenspoon & Cory Wells passed away in 2015. I recall them releasing "Liar" in August 1971, just when I got deployed to wonderful Vietnam. I always enjoyed their cover of 'Try A Little Tenderness" which they used Otis Redding's cover as a model to arrange it by. I was surprised when my dad told it was old Frank Sinatra song. It was & it was forgettable.
Three Dog Night are a spectacular trio. Their harmony performances and brotherhood were all for the love of music. It put them at the top of the charts. It's a shame that drugs interfered within their profession. Their music still today is timeless. "Long Live Three Dog Night"
Floyd Sneed was a funky and solid timekeeper. Drummers should take note. He always played for the song, never got in the way of those fabulous vocals, and played some of the tastiest fills when appropriate.
My favourite song by Three Dog Night was 'Mama Told Me Not to Come', followed by 'Good Feeling', Easy To Be Hard' and Shambala'. Truly one of my favourite musical groups.
TDN was my favorite band in the 70's. I seen them in concert several times and they put on great concerts. Great harmonies by Chuck, Danny and Cory. Probably the great pressure of performing was too much for the band. My best song was Easy to be hard. RIP Cory.
I witnessed Three Dog Night's performance in Burlington,Vermont . Without exaggeration , it was the greatest I'd ever seen . After the first half of the show came to an end , I remember thinking , "That was phenomenal , they wont' be able to top THAT in the second half of the show , not possible , no way ". THEY DID !!! I WAS FLABBERGHASTED !!! STUNNED ! Mesmerized in shock knowing full well I had seen the greatest show in Rock History . TRUE .....
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story. We're very happy to know that you had a chance to see Three Dog Night in person! Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
I love this band. Been a guitarist most of my life but recently got some keyboards. Since then I'm all about the TDN. Learning and playing songs like "Mama Told Me Not to Come", "Out In the Country" and "Old Fashioned Love Song" I've got a new lease on my music life!
My, my, my. Man I really loved their singing and the energy they had in their live performances. When they were actually together as a band I was a small kid, so I didn't check them out until I was about 20 yrs. old back in '81, and they had long since disbanded. But great music of course is timeless. Watching some of their performances on YT was a joy for me since I had only heard their music on radio. 4 of my all time favorites by them are, "ONE", OLD FASHION LOVE SONG, BLACK/WHITE, and ELI's COMING." Classic stuff right there. 4-Sure.
Three Dog Night was the first album I ever bought. I became a huge fan. My favourite songs are Easy To Be Hard, Pieces of April and Out In The Country,
I stumbled on the band on a night of bar hopping in New Jersey. It was right at the beginning of "Never been to Spain" and I was transfixed at what they could do to somebody else's song ! The harmonies and the great vocals backed by a very tight band was awesome and I've been a fan ever since. As with many groups, they were so hot, the flame had to burn out, and sadly it did. They were unique
I'm now in my 70's, but at the time was a huge fan of "Three Dog Night," and was devastated when they broke up! In a much later Inter view, Chuck stated that he was so addicted to heroin that, in order for him to perform, the crew would prop him up, and strap him to, a dolly! At show time, they'd wheel him out to sing! He said he didn't really remember performing at all!
You neglected to mention their attempt at a comeback in the early 80s with the three singers, reunited and healthy, doing their album for passport records, called It’s A Jungle Out There
I remember listening to them as a kid. My mom loved their music and would put in an 8 track while doing housework. Now, I love their music as well. Never been to Spain is one of my all time faves!
@@TheSkinking Which is ridiculous. They were the top grossing band in the world for four years. It is supposed to be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not the songwriting hall of game. Half the acts being inducted these days have nothing to due with rock and roll. It's a joke.
It was DANNY AND CORY WHO PLAYED ON -WITH 3DN-Chuck’s drug problems were so much worse and he wouldn’t stop-you told the story wrong-the last years 3DN were together, Chuck was not even in the group!! i loved all the songs.. SHAMBALA WAS GREAT!
Joy to the world was the song that made me a music fan. I was in the 5th or 6th grade at the time. As soon as I heard the opening line, Jeremiah was a Bullfrog I was hooked!
I grew up with Three Dog Night. I love ALL of their music since I was 4, in 1968! I still listen to their music daily!! Long live their legacy of amazing tunes!!
Many artists & songwriters at the time wrote songs for them(Harry Nilson, Paul Williams, Randy Newman, Hoyt Axton). They actually had MANY Top 20 hits! My favorites are probably Joy to The World, Shamabala, & the often forgotten Family of Man! Seeing these songs done live today by what remains of Three Dog Night is like a spiritual experience! Its like going to a religious revivalist event, very moving & powerful!
The book "Three Dog Nightmare" by Chuck Negron is a fantastic work about Chuck's horrible, but ultimately wonderful journey from addiction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I went up to Chuck Negron when I saw him in the aisle of a supermarket I was in around 2010. I told him I loved the Live at the LA Forum cd and actually had it in my car. He was friendly and gracious I asked if he thought they would ever reunite- this was years before Wells died. He said, “ No- it wouldn’t be good for me.” I saw him a few months later perform at a free concert for Tri-Help, the substance abuse treatment center. I thought they were too slick and plastic in their day- but have since come to appreciate their harmonies - and material- and that was Chuck.
Shambala was always my favorite. Such a catchy tune. Love Three Dog Night and just wished drugs had not play such a catastrophic role in their lives. What in the world could they have produced if drugs had not play such a huge part?
Love them singing Out in the Country, so mellow and meaningful. For song Show Must Go On, Chuck's singing and expression is perfect, his voice is amazing. And video for Old Fashioned Love Song is special - excellent singing by them and humour too in the video.😊
The real reason is the greedy music business drained and squeezed every plug nickel out of the "product"-Three dog night, that they could. Human beings aren't machines that can spit out "product" at will. Constant touring schedules, demand for more "hits" caused many musicians to turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with the music business pressure. End result, crash and burn. Used up and spit out by the music business.Nothing new here,same old story.
There's only 3 original members alive. Mike Allsup, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron. Joe Shermie (bass) died in 2002. Floyd died last year. Cory Wells died around 2014, and Jimmy Greenspoon passed in 2015.
Liked the drugs and alcohol too much, they gave him a chance to get clean and come back. Unfortunately Negron couldn't break the addiction. First time I heard about Danny's addiction though.
Had to dig deep for this one. All the hits of course, but there are songs that got no airtime but still shined on their records. “Chest Fever” and “Murder In My Heart For The Judge” come to mind. My favorite hit of theirs is “Family Of Man.”
Chest Fever was a great concert song. Jimmy Greenspoon really made that Hammond B3 rumble! Three Dog Night stayed near Kissimmee, FL for a few days in the late OO's during a tour and Greenspoon came to the local public arts school and talked about music with the students. I couldn't bring myself to go to the concert they played in town, though. By that time, there were too many missing band members and I wanted to remember them the way I saw them in the '70s.
My favorites: Shambala, One, and Mama Told Me. I was in grade school when they were on top, so I got to enjoy the music without the drugs and sex. 😮😇😎 Fantastic singers and musicians.
Old Fashioned Love song--quintessential TDN! Lots of musical magic with that band--and backed up by first-rate musicians. They outperformed the Beatles--their music reminds me of my earlier years! I met Chuck back in '97 at Sea World in Orlando, spoke with him and photographed with him and my son. Saw TDN for the first time in '86; but with Cory and Danny. No more bands like this one!
Family of Man, Never been to Spain, Pieces of April, Old Fashioned Love Song, too many others to choose a favorite. I guess they never did a song that wasn’t fantastic.
Favorties: "Shambala", "Out in the Country", "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song".......I have never seen a group that was so dominant for such a long time...
My first LP was Suitable for Framing…older brother bought it for me for Christmas….followed these guys from there on out …despite the drug and greed culture that ended the ban they really gave the world the gift of great sound and tunes
I find it utterly incredible that all 70-80 year old musical performers today have such great genes that they have no gray hair on their head anywhere. Amazing!
Out In the Country is my favorite. I first saw them in concert in '74 (I think). I saw Corey & Danny's Three Dog night in the mid to late 90s. I last saw Chuck when he was touring with Blood, Sweat, and Tears and I've seen Danny's Three Dog Night a couple of times lately. Each time they sounded great. I wish Danny and Chuck could join back up again.

"Easy To Be Hard" was probably my most favorite song that Chuck used to sing when he was still with Three Dog Night. Such a great tune!
Performed by BUT not written by Three Dog Night-Like every other song performed by 3DN
That is also one of my favorites...heart breakingly sad.
@@vicferrari89Why is that such a stigma on 3DN?..So ,they didn’t write their songs ..Most artist ,especially singers don’t write their own stuff
Out In The Country was one of my favorites. Came out about the time I started high school!
Yes! My favorite, as well ... Love it when ALL THREE guys singing in perfect unison ...
The song reached in to my soul as well. When things became too much I took solitude in the woods and fields by myself.
agree .... my all time three dog night favorite, still is.

Play something sweet was great,another great I think underrated tune was I’d be so happy
Seen Chuck recently @ a casino. He still has it. Hit all the notes. Sang all the 3 Dog Nights songs himself. Took pictures with myself and my girlfriend. He was a real nice guy, and great show 😎 🎤 🎶 🎉

Great version I must admit but the vocals can’t compete with Sayer’s x
I put that song as my favorite too along with the live version of Chest Fever off of Captured Live at the Forum
"Pieces of April"...will always be one of my favorite songs...sounds like they are dreaming of a beautiful memory lost far back in time...

I read a book in the early 2010s called "Three Dog Nightmare," written by Mr Negron. I highly recommend it. Kathy
Remember that chapter titled "Stop Having So Much Sex" ? He was told that by a doctor who was examining Chuck's privates because of pain. LOL!!

Saw them on that comeback. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Classic.
Yes! There were 6 of the original 7. It is a very good record. Saw them at the Catalina ballroom then.
Three Dog Night was the first rock concert I ever attended in 1974. I was 16 years old and went with a friend. Ended up buying a few of their albums.
Never been to Spain, after all these years still as good as any song out there.
I remember listening to them as a kid. My mom loved their music and would put in an 8 track while doing housework. Now, I love their music as well.
Never been to Spain is one of my all time faves!
You mentioned the strain of songwriting sessions took its toll, but they didn't write their own songs, at least not their hit songs.

I loved all of their music, but "I'd Be So Happy" is somehow sad and triumphant at the same time. Haunting!
I love so many songs but Let the show go on is one of my favorites. ❤❤
Never been to Spain!
Eli's Coming!
Mama Told Me Not to Come!
I went up to Chuck Negron when I saw him in the aisle of a supermarket I was in around 2010.
I told him I loved the Live at the LA Forum cd and actually had it in my car. He was friendly and gracious
I asked if he thought they would ever reunite- this was years before Wells died. He said, “ No- it wouldn’t be good for me.” I saw him a few months later perform at a free concert for Tri-Help, the substance abuse treatment center. I thought they were too slick and plastic in their day- but have since come to appreciate their harmonies - and material- and that was Chuck.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Shambala was always my favorite. Such a catchy tune. Love Three Dog Night and just wished drugs had not play such a catastrophic role in their lives. What in the world could they have produced if drugs had not play such a huge part?
I loved every single one of their hits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TDN was an outstanding group-I know this is a long shot,but they deserve to go into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
The HOF is a joke.
Should be in R&R Hall of Fame!
Mama told me not to come is my favorite alone with the song one. Listened to them alot as a child of the 60's and 70's.
Love them singing Out in the Country, so mellow and meaningful. For song Show Must Go On, Chuck's singing and expression is perfect, his voice is amazing. And video for Old Fashioned Love Song is special - excellent singing by them and humour too in the video.😊
The real reason is the greedy music business drained and squeezed every plug nickel out of the "product"-Three dog night, that they could. Human beings aren't machines that can spit out "product" at will. Constant touring schedules, demand for more "hits" caused many musicians to turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with the music business pressure. End result, crash and burn. Used up and spit out by the music business.Nothing new here,same old story.
Hard to pick just one song!!!! If completely pressed, I'd have to say "Shambala"❤❤❤
Story with a happy ending and smiles...I'll take more of that please
There's only 3 original members alive. Mike Allsup, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron. Joe Shermie (bass) died in 2002. Floyd died last year. Cory Wells died around 2014, and Jimmy Greenspoon passed in 2015.
One of my favorite groups.thanks.

I was 9, in 68, I remember hearing them all the time on the radio, and learning to sing along / lol😊😊
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story. What is your most memorable song of Three Dog Night?
3 dog night didn't break up they kicked him out
Originally they split up then reformed without him
Liked the drugs and alcohol too much, they gave him a chance to get clean and come back. Unfortunately Negron couldn't break the addiction. First time I heard about Danny's addiction though.
One of the three great voices but the needle meant more to him
Never knew Danny was also addicted either. 😔
They kicked Danny’s Hutton out first for his overwhelming drug use
Had to dig deep for this one. All the hits of course, but there are songs that got no airtime but still shined on their records. “Chest Fever” and “Murder In My Heart For The Judge” come to mind. My favorite hit of theirs is “Family Of Man.”
Chest Fever was a great concert song. Jimmy Greenspoon really made that Hammond B3 rumble! Three Dog Night stayed near Kissimmee, FL for a few days in the late OO's during a tour and Greenspoon came to the local public arts school and talked about music with the students. I couldn't bring myself to go to the concert they played in town, though. By that time, there were too many missing band members and I wanted to remember them the way I saw them in the '70s.
I’d never guess this was the tall skinny, long dark hair w/mustache guy.
Thank You for mentioning HOYT AXTON‼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼
My favorites: Shambala, One, and Mama Told Me. I was in grade school when they were on top, so I got to enjoy the music without the drugs and sex. 😮😇😎
Fantastic singers and musicians.
Old Fashioned Love song--quintessential TDN! Lots of musical magic with that band--and backed up by first-rate musicians. They outperformed the Beatles--their music reminds me of my earlier years! I met Chuck back in '97 at Sea World in Orlando, spoke with him and photographed with him and my son. Saw TDN for the first time in '86; but with Cory and Danny. No more bands like this one!
My first concert was Three Dog Night at Pine Knob in Clarkston Michigan in 1974.
Favorite song is Never Been to Spain
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story and your favorite song! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Family of Man, Never been to Spain, Pieces of April, Old Fashioned Love Song, too many others to choose a favorite. I guess they never did a song that wasn’t fantastic.
Our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse How about the best bands or solo artists that the rock and hall of fame refuses to recognize.
Favorties: "Shambala", "Out in the Country", "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song".......I have never seen a group that was so dominant for such a long time...
Our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
My first LP was Suitable for Framing…older brother bought it for me for Christmas….followed these guys from there on out …despite the drug and greed culture that ended the ban they really gave the world the gift of great sound and tunes
I find it utterly incredible that all 70-80 year old musical performers today have such great genes that they have no gray hair on their head anywhere.
Amazing!

Ha, old rockers never die, they just reload. And their songs play on immortalized.
I love this band! Old Fashion Love Song and The Show Must Go On are my favorites❤
I love every song and this one prevails "I Never Dreamed"
Chuckie was my fave and I attended every Boston / New England show❤
Band should be in The RnR HOF. If we're around in the 60's and 70's and turned on the radio you heard 3 Dog Night. Look up there awards
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great evening!☺
My 1st concert saw them in Anaheim. Ca. Still love their music!
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which Three Dog Night song appealed to you the most?
Saw them at Cape Cod Coliseum 1974! Great concert!!
Wow! RIP the CCC! I'm a little younger than you, saw Iron Maiden there in 1983...
They were amazing... loved them.. "My Impersonal Life" one of my favs among many others.. 70's music was awesome.
That is one of their outstanding little known tunes! One of my favorites, as well.
Out In the Country is my favorite. I first saw them in concert in '74 (I think). I saw Corey & Danny's Three Dog night in the mid to late 90s. I last saw Chuck when he was touring with Blood, Sweat, and Tears and I've seen Danny's Three Dog Night a couple of times lately. Each time they sounded great. I wish Danny and Chuck could join back up again.
